<human>: Give me the gist of the text in a nutshell

This is me browsing reddit at work again, as most of us do. This is, and has always been common practice to all of us dweller of the cube farms. I'm the stereotypical guy who works for a big corporation that doesn't give a shit about you, in turn, causing you not to give a shit about it.

My predicament is as follows.

**I want to care.**

I used to like my job, but recently there have alot of changes as most companies come across. Jobs become more specialized, you have responsibility taken away from you and given to the most specific departments that do just that one thing. Now lets keep one thing in mind here... im not complaining about working, i know i am very fortunate to even have a job. i just feel that my lack of commitment will eventually lead to my demise, being fired.

Now, i went from a fun, technical, ever changing job, to a stale, copy&paste reporting monkey job in just a year. Its become exactly like on office space where he explains a given work week, filled with simply spacing out and barely doing anything. The tasks i do have are never ending, treadmill type tasks, so at the end of the week accomplishments reports are filled with the same 6 bullets followed by "Onging".

What are some things you guys do to help yourselves through the day, to be productive and feel like you contribute (if there is anything).

I don't expect this thread to actually go anywhere, but i feel like i need help from those i relate to the most.
<bot>: I used to like my job, now not so much. Need help to stay motivated and actually do work so i don't get fired for being shit.
