At some point in our lives most of us have had that <em>one</em> job that stands out as the worst one they’ve ever had. That one where you wake up every morning and you feel a little bit nauseous at the idea of having to be there.</p><p>What if you don’t hate your job, though? What if you were doing something you enjoy doing and are good at, when one day, it happens?</p><p>You don’t love what you do anymore?</p><p>Maybe it’s a project that’s gone on far too long, or a string of shitty clients. Maybe you’ve been in your career so long, that it’s simply taken away all enjoyment of it.</p><p>Me? I’ve hit full-blown burnout. For context, the conversation I had with my guests in this episode was recorded back on April 15th. It was a conversation that just happened, after recording an episode of a completely different show. I’d been debating whether or not I was dealing with some kind of midlife crisis, or was just worn down.</p><p>My guests are Mike Daffron, my cohost on The Watchers on the Couch podcast, and Chris Naes of the Bacon and Naes podcast. Both are good friends of mine and I wanted to touch base to see if they could relate to what I’m feeling, or if was just me.</p><p>How about you? Do you ever feel unfulfilled, or just… blah, for extended periods of time? How do you deal?</p><h3>Music Credits</h3><p>Track: Facing Your Nemesis</p><p>Artist: TeknoAXE</p><p><a href="http://teknoaxe.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Website</a> | <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wewGsomVJNo" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">YouTube</a> | Provided under the <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License</a></p><p>Track: The Meditation</p><p>Artist: Magna Ingress</p><p>Album: Aeon 3: Transitio</p><p><a href="http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Magna_Ingress/Aeon_3_Transitio/10_The_Meditation" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Free Music Archive</a> | Provided under the <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/legalcode" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International License</a></p><p>Track: His Last Share of the Stars</p><p>Artist: Doctor Turtle</p><p>Album: The Double-Down Two-Step</p><p><a href="https://doctorturtle.bandcamp.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Bandcamp</a>| Provided under the <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License</a></p>]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Almost everyone can relate to having a job they hate.
