Thanks. The stupid part is that I love my actual job, and although I've been in the current position 10 years, I feel like I still have new ideas to improve our work. I'm still capable of recognizing my mistakes. I'm not to phoning it in. When I get to think about a thorny issue there, I start to really enjoy things again. I remember why I took the job in the first place.
But that other work, that has nothing to do with my main job, is poisoning the well. When I log in in the morning and see something for that work, it just kills my energy.
I've been at mine for 4 years, I hope to still enjoy it the same as you when I reach 10. Good luck, maybe the project implodes while you're on holiday or something hehe
