That's almost verbatim where I am. The ups come with progress, little accomplishments or whatnot. But, every time I hit an arbitrary wall, it's a huge downer.
I'm just glad it's not just me.
edit: tuning out, punching in/out (ass in a seat), meeting expectations for me are all signs that point to me being stuck at a job without much enjoyment. Not being vested in the company is a tricky one though - I am ready to make certain sacrifices for a company, however I will always ensure I have a backup strategy. The same should hold true for companies as well.
