I'm with you

In Reply to: Anyone burned out with MTing? sm - mt4life??

I too am getting burned out. I've been doing this 9 years. I like working at home. Don't know if I want to go back to working in an office with a bunch of old women all with their office politics, gossiping, dislikes, likes, etc. Plus the cost of working clothes, lunches, b-days, various pot lucks, etc. Here I wake up at 8am (no kids if you can't tell), turn on the computer and work. However I am getting very bored and some days have little motivation. I feel like I'm going to end up MTing until I die in my chair here. What's worse is DH does not work (I think he's going through a mid life crisis), so when I see him out doing yard work and other stuff I'm a little jealous. I want to be quilting and reading, and playing games, and all these other projects but I have to work my tail off to pay the bills. I am getting burnt out though, but what I get paid here, in this town there is nothing that would pay as good. I keep learning new things through the local college and that helps a lot. The college here offers on-line courses for $99, so every once in awhile I will take one if it looks fun (like writing or a computer program). But just wish I had something a little more fun and exciting.
