I didn't mention that this malaise also spreads into other aspects of life. I actively avoid the news and politics and have trouble selecting a good hobby. I belong to one organization that brings me light though. I enjoy volunteering occasionally but where I live it's not always an option and can involve a decent commute. I appreciate your reply and really do need to think about the 'meaning of life' or the meaning in life. This post was about work, but your reply points out there is so much more.
