Wish I could say something like inspiration, grand visions, or something someone a lot cooler would say, but it's my shitty day job. The shitter the day goes at work, the more I am motivated. The more I realize I am smarter than my boss' boss, that most of these people are sheep and I have nothing to show for it, the more I'm driven.

It has gotten so bad that I often look forward to meetings that will make me feel insignificant among a lot more significant yet stupid people who are brown nosing each other to death (corp America). I have on occasion thanked the almighty for putting me in such a shit hole and thus giving me the desire to improve my situation. Satisfaction must be the death of all motivation, because the dissatisfied me is the driven me.

All due respect, you need to find a way to self-motivate fast, or your future projects are destined to fail, if what you say is true.
I fall in love with problems, my own, others', or whomever's, and try to find a way to solve it. I know most builders of software fall in love with a solution first/and idea or a grand vision - but little ol' me don't think like that, but thanks, you make a good point for someone who is a builder.
