precisely! I have hyperfocus adhd, so I need MOMENTUM and something to focus on or everything basically goes to shit! If I've been sitting around all day at work, I even have a hard to time getting myself to make something for dinner or do any chores.

Yep! The more I do, the more I wanna do...but the less I do - then forget it. It's best to keep me busy...but not TOO busy...cause then I'll just freak out

when have I ever said that before, helen, you are just making stuff up now.

I realize that yes, I have it good in certain ways. but in other ways, this is a terrible situation! how am I supposed to ever get another job when all I can put on my resume for the past year is "posted on the pearl jam message pit and never used any of my skills or education." I'm BORED! I don't want to be here on this board all day, I want to be doing something important. but nobody knows why I'm even working here. I'm just filling up an office. it's killing my self esteem, my energy, everything. I honestly have no reason to be on this planet 5 days out of the week.

You obviously need a change of workplace, and environment.

That Helen is always making stuff up :rolleyes:

You have no reason to be on this planet five days a week? Good grief you need help!! Seriously in another thread someone has offered help, TAKE IT!!! I know you keep turning it down but seriously it is time to piss or get off the pot. Please you really do. Or soon you won't be posting on here because you will be in a hosptial or worse.

*goes back to flogging dead horse*

Absolutely

Seriously gtd, you have a perfect interview answer for 'why do you want to leave your current job?' 'because it's not challenging enough and there's simply no work for me to do'

I wish I had nothing to do.

Fuck me.

My job is the same - days and days of literally nothing to do. When I work the early shift, its fine. On lates, I do nothing from 2 till about 7. When I'm on days, like today, I'm the spare person incase another team member is sick or there's a load of helpdesk calls. And if there is a helpdesk call, I take as long as possible to do it, cos I have 7 hours to burn. It'll be worse now since there's another new person, which mean there'll be 2 spare/bored people fighting for the one helpdesk call so that they look busy.

The money is great, but I don't like feeling so bloody lazy.

yes, I know. I just fear that I won't get as far as an interview without a good addition on my resume. a person is also supposed to GAIN skills over time, not LOSE them. I forget all the analysis techniques I learned in grad school already, so I'll actually be going backwards in my career from here.

You'd think so but you probably just need to refresh the stuff as it isn't lost, just misplaced

i used to have one like that. maybe surfed the net 3/4 day and did a bit of work the other 1/4. very slow, although other weeks i'd always be working. drove me nuts, it feels like you are introuble doesn't it...

yeah exactly! I have this fear in the back of my head that I'm doing something wrong and I'm going to get in trouble at any moment. but I check the new project lists, hell I've sent out an email asking for project work to the *entire global* practice. these are all the suggestions my supervisor has!

thank bejeebus for the internet.



it is good to know there are SO many jobs like this! i know *why* i have a job, and i am necessary, etc....but yes, more often than not i have very little to do. during the 4 months that i am busy though....WHOA am i busy...and thus why i get paid well to take up space the rest of the time.
