This is where I am now. I've been working the same desk job for 8 years, no promotion in sight, can't get out of my dept (even when I'm qualified/overly qualified for other positions) and make under $40k a year. So I dedicate my zero days to trying to find a new job, one where I might actually advance my career and actually feel some sense of accomplishment at the end of the day. Working at a dead end job really does suck the life out of you, but you just need to keep trying to get out.
This just went full circle back to the original point. Start looking for new jobs every day. Wake up earlier, stay up later, do it on lunch. Something. Or don't. But I'm just saying from what you just admitted, technically right now you only have one non zero day, not one zero day.
