i realized that i return to work tomorrow after 10 days off. A feeling of dread came over me. I don't really know how to describe it but my stomach felt sick and heavy and i just felt really sad.

i don't want to go back...ever...

I love my job but long vacations like these remind of me of the 3-month-long endless summers as a kid...and that feeling of having to go back to school...sort of the same thing now. Nothing like being completely lazy!

Pontiflex, I keep telling you to do something about it but you don't.

It is not going to fix itself and a magical job isn't going to fall in your lap. You have to take the iniative. How about that career counseling I suggested?

You are responsible for your own happiness.

i know. i just can't find anything. i've been thinking of going back to school for awhile now but i can't even figure out what i want to do, plus working full time and going to school sucks (i did it when i took class for my MS cert, which ended up being a waste of time and money.)

i was hoping a nice fairly long vacation was what i needed and i would go back and be happy for awhile but i haven't even been back yet, just thinking about it scares me.

Yes, it's rough. I've taken a year off, but I have to get a job soon.
