( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

To add what little I can to this, I recently found myself in this position myself. My job and my hobbies (unfortunately) correspond (too) closely, and while I had projects for work, I no longer felt the same drive. Get it done, out the door, and out of my hair, and good riddance-and don't ask me to do it whatever way was easiest for me, because for a while, I stopped caring. In some cases, I even started to feel discouraged, such as when I looked at my postings here and saw how poorly they seemed to compare to other postings, or tried to read the code of others.

I still consider myself as recovering, but what triggered the start of this process was getting a chance to see a guest speaker at the June meeting of the perl group closest to my location. To be honest, I found the talk fascinating, and the speaker's enthusiasm for perl infectious.

I guess other than that, I have tried to walk away from the computer once in a while, tried a module or two just to see what they did or to see if they might help with something I might need to do, and have started going out from time to time just to do something different (in my case, to try to learn to play pool, among other things).

I hope your recovery is successful, and I look forward to the comments and suggestions of others, as I assume it to be a common, if personal, affliction.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
