Perhaps it's because I spent so long working with my hands, but I get much more satisfaction out of training the customers than I do out of working on tasks in the office. The common thread, of course, being that at the end of the day I can stand back and take stock of what I accomplished. Once upon a time it would have been building a wall or loading a truck, and now it is imparting knowledge. While I'm stuck in the office, there is none of that. The only tangible effect of my effort is a slightly reduced list of things to do the next day.
In February, I made my discontent known, and the powers that be offered me a new project with potential for the kind of work I find satisfying and enjoyable, and in return I agreed not to leave the group or the company. In the back of my mind, I told myself I would give the new project six months to take shape, then reevaluate. I know it's only been about two months so far, but it doesn't look very promising. I do want to stay with the company, but it has to be in a position with more potential than what my current one seems to promise.
We'll see, I guess.
