[QUOTE="94five0, post: 6748963, member: 36142"] I'm in that boat myself. It's hard to be motivated to action when there dosen't seem to be a purpose. It's a trap you have to free yourself from. since I was laid off, I have had to re-adjust my priorities: toys, social life..I try and keep normal 9-5 hours, get up at decent hour, and utilize as much time as i can to proactively finding another job. but I compleltley understand. The worst thing you can do is lay down. Try and keep active: work out, keep contact with people(especially former bosses or co-workers as you can get more done with 12 sets of eyes looking than you by yourself).. in the mean time, do something everyday to stimulate your mind. keeps you sharp. Try reading and learning a new hobby, learn something new about your career- cause a worker with continuing knowledge is one thing, a worker with sufficiant experiance is another, and one with both is an employeers god-send. Ask yourself if you want to go back into your field? It seems you're very proficient at it. But I know how it is to be in a field where your seemingly stuck, but very experianced...but not really happy for some reason. The hardest thing I've found is trying to move into another different field [I]completley[/I] as typically you have no contacts, no work experiance and companies just refuse to take a chance on you. it's almost impossible. You've heard of the squeaky wheel getting the grease? Never has it been more true in actively pursuing a career. By your conversations with your boss, he sounds like he needs you. You appear to have a cordial relationship and thats usually a good sign. But you need to show him that you want to come back. keep in contact, follow up with him, and keep on good terms. With this economic recession, the repair business should be booming as most people would rather repair a car than buy a new one. [/QUOTE]
