Indifferent. I used to really love my job like 5 years ago (I've been at the same company for almost 17 years) because it was challenging and it really felt like I was making a difference and nobody else could do the job as well as me so it felt rewarding. I generally thrive when my workload is high and I have to constantly work hard to keep it under control which was the case back then.

In recent years though the company has had a massive shift in direction to the point where at times I am basically being paid to just sit in the building and do nothing. I can come and go as I please within reason and have no real oversight but the job is extremely unfulfilling because I'm paid for my expertise/experience but a lot of the time there isn't actually anything for me to do. So I'm torn between getting paid a decent wage to sit around doing not a whole lot most of the time or going out there and finding something more stimulating that will probably make me happier.

Getting paid to do basically nothing sounds like the dream and was good for a while but it feels torturous after a while.

EDIT: I actually put together my resume for the first time in over a decade last week. Whether I'll actually be able to make a jump after so long here remains to be seen.
