I would find time to build something that interests you. Don't ask before doing, just build it. Then perhaps one day when they do come to you for something new, you will have either a. already built it, or b. have built something so similar that you can whip something up and knock their socks off.
One issue I used to have is no one asked me to create things because they ASSUMED I was not capable or did not have the knowledge required. No one ever bothered to ask me what I could really do, given the right tools and time. And, in many ways I suspect that they are not asking for anything new since they fear change and prefer the comfort of smooth and steady. -----Original Message----- From: Donna French [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 15, 2005 3:31 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: What to do - stagnant job I work for a small company and have for about three years now, and I'm either going to have to create something new or find a blunt object to mutilate myself with. They are happy with the web app and what it does as is, so I'm not getting any demands or direction in the way of writing or even editing any code. Although I enjoy small doses of the webmaster side of things, I do not want it to be my full-time job - and at this rate it is going to be. Just wondering (hoping) some of you out there have been in a similar situation at one time or another, and what you did to get out of the rut?
