Old Metal Bucket
I've been having a hard time lately... getting up and going to work. I've never been a morning person so "waking up and getting up has never been easy". But it seems to be more than that lately. The daily grind does not seem particularly exciting. I realize that by calling it "the daily grind" I'm setting it up for a ton of same old, same old... but still... I feel like I'm crawling onto that bus in the morning as I set out on my never ending journey across the city and towards the place where I collect my paycheck.
Maybe that's part of my problem... I've never been one to simply go about a set of pre-determined tasks simply to collect a paycheck. I've always wanted to give that extra effort and give a bit of my own creativity to whatever I am currently tackling. There's no tackling going on now... there's nothing interesting... there's just days working towards collecting a paycheck with a few weekends in the middle. My worklife feels a bit like an old metal bucket... just a few drips from spilling over but nowhere near exciting.

I hate reading this. Mostly because I know exactly what you are saying. Please know that there is a world where you don't just wake up to collect a paycheck. You can be inspired again. Always remember - "He who seeks greener pastures, just may find greener pastures." (That's an original...and yes, you can borrow it someday)
