Life as I know it

Although my life is more busy now than it was when I was unemployed - hell, I can barely find time to sit down in the evening - it's in many ways more empty now. I have less time to think and to be with myself, most of my waking time is spent at work doing fairly menial tasks (despite my promotion to the automation team I've been stuck with a "very urgent project" for couple of weeks now doing monkey work). It brings me no satisfaction.

For the first time in the history of this blog I've actually not blogged for two days this month - Friday was a hangover day so that was just laziness, but honestly, yesterday I didn't have anything say. That somewhat describes the situation: either I'm too tired, and/or there's nothing worth writing about. It's not even that I'm unhappy, at least then I'd have something to complain about.

And I don't know how to find the equilibrium again.

I sympathize with you. I become totally wrapped up in my job and also find myself having little or no time to do any 'real life' stuff when I come home. I know for a fact that I am not by any means busier than many other people (who work much longer hours than I do,) and that if I really want to I can make time for other things. I am learning to create a balance, but it's not easy.

I have this problem as well although I'm beginning to think that IT work is to blame more than working too much. Computing has become ubiquitous and commoditized which makes the job a grind of tedium that sucks your brain more often than not.

You might have a point there.

A small step at a time, dear.
More about this when next we talk.
