My job went from always getting what I needed to keep my customers happy, to sheepishly returning a week or more after the original call date. And I just loved having to strip a lease return for feed rollers. Fine in an emergency, but stop gaps are not repairs, long term. Customers started asking "What happened to your company ?". If you loved this job, but now can't face it; perhaps a new venue is all you need. When I interviewed for my new job, I made sure to get a nice tour of the facilities. Clean and Organized. Smiling faces. New decor. Trophy Case. Candy Dishes everywhere, not for my sweet-tooth, to see if folks are nice and generous to each other. Nice cars in employee parking lot. Hugh parts department. Recessions over. Make a new resume'. Or go become a bartender. My summer bartender gig keeps me happy, in shape, and laid. Or consider volunteering just a few hours every other week or so. Helping those less fortunate with your time always lifts the spirits.
