Ennui

Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity.  I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit. (Ecclesiastes: 2,14)

I have worked for the newspaper company
Since January of 2006. 
Starting out as a paginator and website administrator, 
My job grew to encompass
Application support specialist
Training
Webmaster
Administrative support
IT troubleshooter
System Administrator for the entire company. 

Lord...
I am incredibly bored and demotivated,
A lonely outpost
In a dying industry. 
I feel capped, tapped, and out of touch. 
I feel every inch of the 2000+ miles
Between here and our Brooklyn locale. 

Where to go 
And what to do next?
Mountain View plans to create 
New positions within its administration. 
I intend to apply;
Will a change in job venue
Cure the sense of stifling ennui inside me?

You know my history of sudden, swift, 
"Gut-feeling" life changing decisions.  
I think that's been You at work,
Steering me in the direction I ought to go.

What do You think I should do?
Where do You think I should go?
Guide me,
As You have before.  

Awaken some extinguishing ember
Within me, Lord...
