So here I am on my official 'day off' working extra hours at another of our units and I find myself on here! Hmm something must be wrong. For some time now I've been thinking about changing jobs and maybe this just proves it. I'm an 'admin' person, a general office pleb, and for the past 4 years it's suited me. When I was married I was fortunate enough to be able to work part-time and so took a job that allowed me to be flexible with my weekly hours, not one that offered a 'career'. I do have professional qualifications in Administration and have worked at management level, I just have never found a job that has kept me interested.
Certainly over the past 18 months my job has given me the financial security that I've needed and even increased my hours to ensure I didn't have to take another job elsewhere. But the problem is, it doesn't challenge me enough and now I find that I spend most of my time bored and on here!! It probably doesn't help that I'm also missing V, so time seems to be going twice as slowly!
So, if anyone has some career advice for me, I'll be willing to listen!

I'm not sure what the job situation is like over your way. But if you are truly bored by your job, that may be a sign that it's time to find something more interesting. However, if jobs are hard to come by in your area, there's something to be said for job security.
Another possibility would be to look for something else in the company for which you work, something perhaps a step higher?
