I certainly felt the accomplishment sense while I had my last job, which while totally easy (4 to 6 months would go by without a thing to do) wasn't fulfilling at all. So doing something, anything, even in WOW, felt good.

That all said, I wouldn’t trade having nothing to do with a great job if money was not a factor.

Yep, that describes my work life right now. Luckily I can Pimp My Domicile, blow my boys' minds, and love my friends and feel good about taking up oxygen.
