Lack of motivation

[eek]

I know what you mean. To begin with, work is the motivation. Then you go contracting, and money becomes the motivation (whether it starts that way or not, it ends that way). Then money stops becoming a motivation, and you're left with feck all to motivate you. First world problems. Probably time to sit back and think about how you might better direct your gloriously privileged existence.

I have a feeling I'm about to hit that same problem again....

In that case, I'm surprised the OP has time for all this existential crap.

That's easy, his watch is on Walter Mitty time

I've struggled, its taken me 6 months to get over it

[Old Greg]

Just started to dust off the old CV & taken a quick look at Jobserve for gigs within 10 miles of my house and above 400 per day

52 come up, 8 I could apply for immediately & five of those I reckon I'd guarantee getting an interview for. These are all BA/BI/Architect positions working in either utilities, pensions or property.

As my interview to offer rating is so high, I reckon I'd definitely have an offer of 4 if not all 5.

And I can't be bothered. They're probably all quite interesting little projects 3-6 months on their own, but I just can't be bothered.

So if Money is no longer the motivation, how will I get motivated to bother to do something.

Any ideas?

Back on the game again.

52 come up,

It must be nice when you have such a 'common' skillset.

Shame about the rate though.

There's plenty on here, that would vouch for that in spades.
Unsure if that skillset commands any material value though

Never mind the common skillset, he must live in an industrial estate or some smog-ridden edge of town business park.

If I lived within 10 miles of 52 jobs I could do, I'd move to somewhere better.

I bet it's Slough or some such.

Nice to see you've taken a lodger.

London is just up the road, but I'm sticking to local stuff & something simple where I don't need to think much or actually be in charge. Not bothered about the rates anymore.

I'm not drawing up a list of companies / businesses I don't have experience in, but I am interested in, or need to get exposure to, to help Plan B.

Definetely somewhere "up and coming" round the M25, you can tell by the sub optimal rates
