I've been very unhappy at work. The discontent I have with my job has been going on for some time now, but I've avoided dealing with my feelings. I let myself fall into the monotony of routine, a routine that's lasted for 8 months now.

To make a long story short: I accepted a promotion at at job that I have little pleasure in doing, that I accepted in the first place only out of convenience: it paid the bills and was 15 minutes away from home. I rationalized the promotion as a way to challenge myself when in reality, it was basically a resume builder. But after two weeksone day in a managerial position, I've realized: I am not management material.

I know that I'm competent, skilled and efficient. It just feels that all that isn't being channeled appropriately. Instead, I feel drained.
