don't do that. Knowing that someone else out there has it harder than me does not help my situation suddenly get better. You can't compare how a difficult sitation affects an individual both mentally and physically based on another individuals' difficult situations.




Thank you, Kim. I couldn't have said it better.

I don't hate my job. I hate a couple of people in the lab I work in. One in particular. He's the ONLY "boss" I've ever had that I've blown up on. He talks down to EVERYone like they're children, he doesn't do his OWN job! He shows up promptly at 11:45 on average, is NEVER in his office. God forbid you say or do anything that he doesn't even remotely agree with (esp if you're right and he's not...), he skitters like a little farking cockroach to the lab director's office, where he gets his way, regardless of what the other party has to say, because the lab director doesn't like to make waves!! He's earned the name "Underbridge" from me, because he's a little troll- he does nothing but troll through the office, looking in people's offices, making sure they're there!!! Fortunately, my door doesn't have a window, and I keep the shades on the one window by my door down.

I've worked a handful of odd jobs, computer crap, gopher, produce, video store, computer retail... and while I'm not as gratified in any of them as I feel I should have been, and while they're not GREAT jobs, I can't honestly say I've hated it.

What sucks now, is that the job market is in such disarray (supposedly getting better now), that it's not as easy to just up and quit, which is what my advice would be if you were working a second job for kicks. Had a couple of people do that when I was working at a video store... they did NOTHING but b*tch and complain about the job THEY chose so they could get free rentals, and a second income slightly above minimum wage. Drove me friggin' nuts! And they only worked one night a week!!! Meanwhile, I worked at least two nights a week, and worked 9-6 sundays. Having one day off a week for 3 years taught me a LOT about appreciating weekends.
