Work stuff

I've spent the last couple days working on a technical problem, and the satisfaction I've had in finally sorting it far far far outweighs any enjoyment I've ever gotten out doing my actual job. I don't find solving the issues that come up in supervisory work at all interesting, challenging (except in the negatively-challenging I have no idea how to tackle this sense) or even faintly satisfying.

On the other hand, purely technical work was boring me a couple of years back.

Perhaps if this job was more like a traditional team-leader role than junior management ... It's hard to say, but these recent events have been food for thought.
