I can't seem to focus, nor do I care very much for the crap I'm doing or the dept. I'm suppose to lead. I drag in late to work and leave early and when AEs ask me about a planned creative for the project I don't have an idea in my head and just say, "It's gonna look great and the client is gonna love it and give us another Mil in work and you're gonna get a promotion for sure!" then I walk back to my desk and surf the web.
I think I'm burned out. Do you have any advice for me?

I have no focus either.

I initially thought the reason I couldn't focus every day was because of the high amount of summer cleavege all around me in the city...

Get a hobby as far from what you do!
I was on the same spot as you, but then I bought a LR Defender. It is the bester thing I have ever done.
Now I go off road and beat up mother earth a couple of times a week and fix what I broke on it in the weekends instead of hanging in front of the computer.
That car is the solution to all the problems in my world, might be something else in yours, but it's there.

I've had nearly a year off. I'm totally focused now... I just can't get a fucking job.

once you finish your glass blowing class, you should take a weed growing class..
might not find your focus, but you will forget your job for sure

Actually, in all seriousness, I hear you. I am in a similar place.
My gf and I are starting our own little prod. company and we are busy as bees writing and getting projects going. I seems to be helping with the day to day detatchment.
Any possibility of throwing yourself into personal projects?

all of my hobbies put me right back in front of the screen.
