Complacency

This topic is not so appropriate for the love month, we should be feeling the love love love and be all positive, but I somehow am feeling uncomfortable with it already.

For almost 5 years, I've worked here in Singapore, in the same company, doing the same thing, dealing with mostly the same people. Wouldn't you be exhausted also, even if you are not so busy on a day-to-day basis?

"We shall have no better conditions in the future if we are satisfied with all those which we have at the present."

I've tried looking for greener pastures, so to speak, but somehow fear got the best of me. What if I don't like my immediate superior? What if I get too busy with my new job, then I am too tired when I get home? What if I don't receive the same amount of bonus compared to my present job?

I've exhausted all efforts, to make sure that I don't get bored here at my present job. Sometimes I succeed, other times I'm just too tired being bored that I don't complain anymore. Five years is too long. It's the longest I've stayed in a company. Not that it's the best company I've worked in. But it's hard to change jobs here in Singapore as a foreign worker.

"A man's work is in danger of deteriorating when he thinks he has found the one best formula for doing it. If he thinks that, he is likely to feel that all he needs is merely to go on repeating himself... so long as a person is searching for better ways of doing his work, he is fairly safe."

What to do? What to do? :(
