OP, I’m sitting at my desk in the middle of a festering warehouse, knocking back a Coke because my bosses think I should be able to multi-task in a space so small I can’t scratch my ass without at least 3 people complaining that I have physically, mentally and philosphically harrassed them and i don’t give a good goddam.
Which is my bombastic way of saying, I sympathize
Totally understand and sympathize, OP. Time to start laying out your 3 year plan – give yourself 3 years to get out of your current situation any way you can, short of criminal activity – learn to embrace change instead of fighting it – your stress level will thank you for it.
“Yea me too” – Said everybody, ever!!
Who wrote this The Ramones?
i used to tell my new hires that if they got stressed to take a bathroom break and whack off.
can’t stand cranky staff
“Yea me too”
i like my job, i’m poor, but i like my job
but o.p., are you really sure that you do?
*sigh* I feel ya, OB – I’ve had some jobs that I absolutely hated. I always found ways out of them, though. I like TT’s suggestion about the three year plan.
I thank my lucky stars that I haven’t had a rough time with hating my job – probably because I’ve had crummy ones and can appreciate how easy I have it. I sympathize with you, OB and I hope things work out.
The only people that actually like their jobs are the people already rich enough to just do whatever they actually want to do for a living without the constant worry of creditors and making rent.
And apparently painy.
She must be the off-by-one exception.
i like my job too!. of course there are grim moments, hours and sometimes days but on the whole i enjoy it quite a lot. i do consider myself fortunate, but then again, i have never stayed long in a job i didn’t like. no matter the financial cost of leaving, i skedaddled. my personal well being is too valuable to ME.
i’m an exception to many rules, zedman

Welcome to the real world.
I don’t hate my job, I just hate working.
prolly some ungrateful tfw. this beautiful country is a blessing compared to the toad-licking sweatshop villa it came from!
A job you hate that much, I’d say you can’t afford to stay. When that shit becomes taxing on the mental health and brings the stress-o-metre off the charts – no job is worth that. It just ain’t worth the price of admission. It sucks to become stuck somewhere you don’t wanna be. Get on the job bank and line up another gig. Get applying now – its easier to get another job when you already have one. Shit, call up convergys – you could do a work-from-home call-centre job. Sit in your PJs all day and drink coffee and smoke cigarettes while callin’ peoples on the phone and harrass them! Atleast its cash money while you thinkin about what chu wanna do. Rethink living in mysery. I wouldn’t do it another day. If you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life. Go on now, kick rocks.
