who gets so sick of web design sometimes that you just want to kill somebody? Man I'm tired of my job. I need a vacation!

Happens to everyone. It's usually when I'm stuck on the same task for ages that it starts to get tedious and I think bah!... I love it when I start on a new project though.... one of the reasons I love my job is that it's always changing. Most often, one day at work is not the same as any other and of course, I like to use my brain

yes, my friend... you hit the nail on the head. I've been working on this stupid museum website for way too long. It's boring and tedious and I'm not even like 1/4 through it. bleh!

i must say i haven't encountered this problem yet
then again i code for fun and in my spare time, so its more of a hobby
if I HAD to do something, i'd probably feel the same way

I've been working on the same project for over 4 months and it gets really boring, I think feyd has spent almost a year writing a framework.. it'd be interesting to see how he manages to cope with that, although sometimes I'll just take days off or work on a side-project if stuff gets too boring. Sometimes I hate changing it up sometimes I prefer it.

the framework I was working on was at my old job. I had been working on it for about eight months when I left. Since I'm not there anymore, I'm working on ~personal projects, some with other board members and some I've been "dropping hints" about off and on.
Anyways, I've had my spells with it driving me nuts, but it's not really working on the same thing ad nauseum, more the amount of time spent daily that burns me out.

the part that always gets me when doing a project is the final little tid-bits at the end and the little customer tweaks, basically all the clean up, I just want to get onto the next project.
Break, I can't afford a break, well I am going to Legoland with my niece so I guess that counts as a break but it is only over the weekend.

I've never got tired of development, however I do sometimes want to strangle myself when I see someone else's code.

yea... I am working on somebody else's SLOPPY SLOPPY SLOPPY code. Wow it sucks.

I've found that the sloppy code is usually the easiest to fix because the programmer wasn't very good anyway so it's all really simple code to go through.

no, I know him... he's a good programmer, but he picked this project up from a bad programmer and he was just in a VERY big hurry when he was doing this I'm sure. He cuts corners when he's in a hurry. There are functions that are redefined in subfolders and called from two different locations (have no idea why)... it's a mess.

That sounds like more work rather than taking shortcuts
