Claim disability and move into a VAN DOWN BY THE RIVER.

What does one do when one gets bored and apathetic to work? Suck it up? Seek new employment? Seek new opportunities?

My job was interesting, but I'm beginning to feel I've learned just about everything I can in my current position.

Do what other people do in your position:  figure out ways to endlessly fuck with coworkers, and make their lives as miserable as yours.

I mean, yeah, you can look for another job...but where's the satisfaction in that?

I've been doing that since day 1. :P

Pass.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

The answer is find another job. You spend too much time at work to spend it being bored.

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

Switch to a new role if possible.

When that gets old too? IDK, but let me know if you figure it out

On my Sirius Radio my favourite show is HNIC Radio - and yes it is usually announced by saying the initials.
Posts here are my own private opinions.  I do not speak for my employer.

I need a project.
Beyond the long term trying to cram Japanese into my head.
I just can't bring myself to try to learn the guitar again. It's been 20 years and no luck, doubt throwing any more time at it will change things, and its a useless skill anyway.
I can't seem to motivate myself to get too deeply into trying to build my website making skills either. I'm too disorganised.
Maybe....err....hmm....finally trying to figure out home brewing? or err....trying to force myself to write more in the hope I stop sucking and manage to get an idea out satifactorally?....or.... bah. Life is still being wasted but at least money is being earned in the process. Not huge bucks but enough to start saving, once I have some savings I can then in the future afford to try and get a career or...something.

Not drunk or anything. Just brain splurging.
