I want out.

[judecorp]

One element of my life should not make my whole life this miserable. Then again, one element of my life should not be so all-encompassing that I have had to suspend activities outside of this element, as I watch it seep into every free moment of my life.

I hate my job. This job is making me hate the state of Ohio. I want out.

Now, bed.

Comment: I know what it's like to hate a job...believe you me, I do. I think what you're supposed to do at our age is assess what you like and don't like about your job after you've been there "a while," then go try to find one that's mostly about what you do like. This technique, though making for an interesting résumé, has had some success with personages our age around the greater metropolitan Boston area. I suggest you try it, and good luck in doing so!

Selfish comment: Wow...that sucks...I hear Massachusetts is nice...

I'm sorry you don't like your job, and I know how terrible it is to hate your job. From my experience there comes a point where you just need to leave a situation that is hurting you. It is not worth it to let it ruin the rest of your life.
(unsolicited advice from a relative stranger. hope you don't mind.)

You shouldn't be this unhappy with your work. I know its kinda obvious,but you were never like this with the 'Big Gay Job'.
I think you should tell them how unhappy you are and why.

I second the comment that Mass. is nice this time of year. :)

*hugs* to you. Let me know if I can help.

Keep in mind...

Should you leave Ohio, you'll never see me again¹.

Most people, when faced with this grim possibility, learn to love Ohio.

I have no sage advice where the job is concerned. I can only hope you realize that no matter how bad your job gets at least you're not a(n):

• Surrogate Vomiter²
• Papercut Severity Tester
• Bat Milker
• Anti-Freeze Palatability Specialist
• Feces Classification Expert

¹The fact that you've never seen me is irrelevant, as the concept of never seeing me again generally causes an all-consuming sense of dread that overrides every remnant of logic, reason and rational thought.

²GALBRAITH: Oh, I had way too much to drink last night. I feel like I'm gonna trombone! Jude, care of that for me, would you?
JUDE: Ah-huh-huh-huh...Bleargh! Gah! A-guh-glurk! Bleaaaaaagh!

Move to Texas. You'll appreciate Ohio all the more then.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

It does indeed have a wide variety of weather. I am just getting sick of the Midwest in general. I long for ocean. :)

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Okay!

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Maybe I could get one of those cool Fargo accents!

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

I have applied for several jobs in the Boston area. To be fair, I have also applied for several jobs in the Bay area.

But I will see you in May, yes? YES!!

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

I appreciate the advice.

And I /will/ leave this job - I just can't really leave right now for a whole variety of reasons. I just need to a) learn not to hate it so much, and b) try to find ways not to let it get to me.

Thanks!

Well, I would sell my boobs to have a Big Gay Job again! That would be just swell!

Unfortunately, I don't think telling them I'm miserable is going to help much. I tried to mention it to my supervisor about 1.5 months or so ago, that I wasn't really feeling the job, and her only response was, "Well, it's not for everyone." WAY TO BE SUPPORTIVE, LADY!

I'm just trying to hang in until we decide where to move.

[exceptnot.livejournal.com]

or at least listen to them

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Ha! That is seriously funny.

Re: Keep in mind...

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

But if I were your surrogate vomiter, I would get awfully thin. How trendy!

[volumeat11.livejournal.com]

YES!

[iansha.livejournal.com]

You don't like your boobs anyway! :)

Hang in there!

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

YAY!!

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

True.
