Look outside yourself, too. Whenever I'm feeling a little burned out on my job, I can usually find a friend (especially Amber) who can tell horror stories about THEIR job that give me the perspective that my current position is really pretty great.
Frequently frustrating, not 100% fulfilling, but... I'm not getting screamed at or micromanaged or kept on an overly tight leash. (Amber once requested to take an hour off when her youngest needed a brain scan at the hospital, and was denied. Sheesh)
And I love the summer, because there's usually a construction site on the way to work. Nothing like seeing somebody mixing concrete to put your 'hard days' into perspective.
