What should happen when you get bored and upset at a stable job?

Search for another job.   (don't mention it to anybody you're working with) then (always) give your employer a month to 2 week notice.  You want to be in goodstanding so you'll get a good review.  Don't quit your job until you know for sure you are going to get the other job!!!!  3 years isn't a long time to already be sick of a job.  try 20 years!!!  You should always save money no matter what...!!!!  even it's only 5-10-20 dollars a week it adds up pretty quick.  I save my change.  I am a bartender, at a family owned chinese restaurant, so i give lots of change by the end of the night.  i save it and put it in a cd account that way I won't spend it.  i'm using it to save up for my child's college education...she's only 3!!!  I have a long ways to go...

Unless you really love your job...there really shouldn't be any long term psychological damage.  Short term would just be trouble with money until you find a new job, being bored until you find a new job.  Other than that..there really isn't too much damage.

I know that feeling, too. I had that day yesterday.  Actually, my whole crew had a bad day.  Nothing seemed to go right.  Do you work?  Is this what you're in reference to or just a regular ordinary day at home? But, I also know, it doesn't matter whether you're working or home; it's the same ole go round.  Or maybe it's what you say or do, when you get pissed off?  At any rate, keep your cool. Do like I do.  If someone pissed you off, don't get too upset and let it be known that you are; I have learned, that what goes around comes around.  If you know what I mean.

If you're unhappy with your job, do everyone including yourself a favor and start looking for alternatives. For example, if the company is moving to a place where more jobs are available, perhaps you could make the move with them, then discreetly find another job.\n\nBest of luck!

Is there anything you can do to change the job frustration? Talking to a district office or a boss higher up? Changing job duties? Is there anything funny about how sorry the place is? Does the place do anything good that can make you feel better that your frustration is going for something useful? \nI read a book called "100 Things That People Do To Be Happy". It suggests that making yourself happy takes a lot of practice, like playing basketball. Maybe you can think of that while you are working and look for things that put a smile on your face when you don't feel like smiling. Do you have a library nearby? Try and find a book on drawing caricatures and make up funny pictures of the things or people you work with.\nMake sure you get as much sleep as you can (try earplugs and nightshades (blinders) if you are sleeping during the day, and as early at night as you can (probably hard if you work late). Sometimes your emotional state is worse if you aren't getting enough vitamins also.\nI'm sure others will have more suggestions for meditating, etc. I prefer to attack my frustrations whenever I can.

Give your boss a good smack in the mouth. You should see changes taking place shortly afterwards. Glad to be of help.

Take a deep breath first off....\n\nTry finding ways to relieve stress that you can incorporate into your life (try those stress relief body washes in the shower or bath (if bath light candles and turn lights off too) \n\nI dunno what your job is, but if you can find ways to exercise while working you can relieve stress too, look up chair exercises if you sit at a desk, if youa re standing all day find ways to do leg or arm exercises, if you can take a brisk walk on your break or lunch hour (maybe through a park) get a bit of sunshine too its a natural mood booster

I would make an effort to get along with him and if that didnt work meanings you had to stay there i would do everything the way that boss wants it done then pursue to look for another job because if you stay in a work place that makes you miserable makes it so you dont want to work there period...\nSo its always better to be happy than miseraable...\ntake my advice i have been there done that...

I went through this with one boss.  I was so stressed out that I was sick at work, then had a death in the family.  It was an awful time.  In the end, they fired me.  As it turned out, though, they were in the wrong.  Bad on them.\n\nIt can certainly happen.

You might be not getting a good sleep at night or you have a boring job.

Get focused.  Write down your goals and acheive them, get on the fast track to better position within the organization (let people know about your intentions).  Make a plan for success.  Talk to your supervisor or boss and ask them to challenge you more.  If you enjoyed what you do a year or so ago there is no reason why you shouldn't still enjoy it.  If you are well paid and you like your co-workers and you are able to build long term savings don't sweat it.  Enjoy it while it lasts.  \n\nIf you are still unhappy after all of this start a job search and read "What Color is My Parachute"

Well, although your job seemed to be "stressful", it sounds like you enjoyed it. You probably felt very useful; maybe even essential for the smooth functioning of the office. Now, because of your injury, you can't seem to do the same things you used to, so you feel a bit depressed, because you may not feel as though you're playing a useful role.\n\nPerhaps, if your condition allows it, you could have your own business being an "organizer" -- you know, like, organizing people's closets, or their own home-office files, or other things that need organizing, but you won't have to do a lot of physical work that may strain your back / neck. Use your mind! \n\nIronically, some people feel "less stressed", when they're working at something useful and productive, even if it is "fast-paced". Some stress is caused, when we feel life is passing us by....\n\nYou have more emotional strength than you probably realize. You are a thoughtful and caring person -- try to brainstorm, and think about how you might use your talents!

the probable reasons could be..1. the job itself might be monotonous 2. u might have not been implementing ur ideas into improving the way u do the job 3. there is no body to motivate u in ur job 4. u might have selected the wrong job-one which is not upto ur ability. 5. U might be one having an instable mind 6. pick up some challenging task and try to implement. stop looking at the negative aspects of the job. There could be many reasons for feeling boredom. a better advise could be given only if we can know ur work situation.

When I am bored at work I usually go to Yahoo Answers. Sometimes I log on just to read some of the questions. My advice is to go to the Jokes & Riddles category - guaranteed you will at least crack a smile. Also, if you are into games you could check out Yahoo Games to download or play online.

Start looking now. Your job is what you spend most of your waking hours doing, and If it's not making you happy, don't punish yourself. Sure it might get better, but you've got to be happy.
