[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 214385"] Jo, I know exactly how you feel. Having a job where you're bored, or not intellectually stimulated/challenged, is so not fun. You're right, in this economy, though, sometimes it's best to stick out the job until things improve and try to find some other kind of way to supplement. I think asking your boss for more work, responsibilities to take on, etc is good. A lot of time they really have no idea and think that since you haven't said anything that you're happy with where you're at. If you're a good employee and you want more, they'll usually find something to give to you. Employers want to keep their good employees happy. At my last job, I started out part time. I really liked working there, but didn't see any way they could employ me full time as the work just wasn't there. When I got offered a full time job at another company, they didn't want me to leave and they created a position for me. At first, there wasn't enough work and I was bored out of my mind - would pass the time cleaning desks, equipment, etc. But, eventually more work came in, people left and I went from being bored to having a full schedule and as much overtime as I wanted. Talk to your boss. If there is anything to be found, he'll find it for you. In the meantime, explore other interests. Take a class, whatever. [/QUOTE]
