It's not altogether unpleasant, it's not bad, but it's just kind of a "meh", bland, apathetic feeling. Life lacks richness, passion, excitement, know what I mean?

Thanks, peeps. Mainly it's this tedious, sometimes annoying security guard job that I'm doing because my video and photography business, which is visually creative and pays well is slow this month. I'm working this job a few more days this week than I care to, in the same damn gatehouse. I brought entertainment...and am still going nuts with boredom. Same high traffic every day. What's that? Yet another car! Imagine that!

I need to create, to produce, to be happy. It's not enough for me to just mechanically provide a service.

maybe make up some business cards, put an ad on craigs list, etc, to do landscaping... its good work for good pay and its very creative and constructive, if you get the right jobs

or home improvements, if you have the skills

(can always take classes in it)

i used to LOVE doing both, but now i have a bad arm and cant really do much of anything in either of those fields

Thanks. Landscaping, eh? What's the start-up cost to get going in that business?

What you need is a good laugh!! There is a new comedy on TV called Surviving Jack. It is with the guy Christopher Meloni from SVU. Who knew he could be so funny. It's on here in California on Thursday nights at 9:30. I highly recommend it. Hugs GB

Ah, yeah, know that very feeling....and it sucks...I totally sympathize with the repetitious job...hope you can get back to what you love VERY soon!

I feel that I do know what you mean. I stay in bed all day and look out the window. I go to bed and wonder what happened to my day.
I wish I could tell you how to make that go away, and how to change the day to be better... But I know how hard it is.
In order to be happy, you must do things that make you happy. On a grey day- ride a bike, go to a concert, make something. However, I know that when I feel grey... all the things I usually like seem more like work than recreation.
On the grey days, it is hard to pull yourself up.
But, we are strong enough to get through them.
Feel better.

I know, I do this a lot lately. It is such a strange way to be and feel.
