This job started out as a 30 hour/week temporary job that was supposed to last three months. I took it because I thought it would be a good experience, stepping stone, etc. I was offered a full-time, permanent position at the end of the three months, which I took because I thought it would be a good growing experience, because my boss was so good to me, and because she counted on me a lot. I think I made a mistake. This work has never been my passion, and I knew this from the beginning. My motivation is low and it shows in my work. I know I can be so much more productive, creative and happy. It's been almost a year since I took this job and I am getting really antsy. I thought about trying to negotiate with my boss to change the focus of my work, but I would have to change things significantly and she would most likely have to hire someone else to do the work I am currently doing.
