I love my job but I hate the project that I'm working on. I've spent over two weeks trying to fix a piece of crap report that someone that use to work for the company created. Now I can understand why the company let him go. I'm getting worried that I might end up losing my job as I find myself spending more and more time surfing on the web because I just don't want to work on this piece of garbage anymore.

What can I do to keep myself motivated?

send out a memo regarding a cover sheet and you should be fine, they wouldn't fire you if you send out a memo

Why don't you either A. rewrite from scratch the way you want it or B. hurry up and fix the code so you can move onto something else?
