Sure, it's off-topic, but I think everyone goes through ups and downs
with regard to their career. It has happened to me a couple of different
times. Give yourself permission to be interested in other things. Read a
bunch of non-technical books. Take a vacation. Use your free time at
home to do other things. After a while, your interest in work will
probably naturally come back around. Perhaps a project will come along
that will force you to learn a new technology. I find that that usually
helps get me back into "the zone."

Regards,
John
