I'm in a funk
and I need to get out of it!! As you all know (because I won't shut up about it) I'm really ready to move on from my current job. In reality, it's not a bad gig - I enjoy the subject matter, the people in the courthouse/sheriff's office that I work with are really wonderful and generally my coworker's make me happy. The pay sucks, but truthfully with DH's income it's not that big of a deal.
But, I'm just OVER IT and it's making every little thing bother me. My client's reasonable questions piss me off, I'm bored out of my mind, the co-workers that i'm not friends with but normally I just ignore are driving me bananas, and all I want is a new pair of tennis shoes that I could easily afford and not feel guilty about if I had a real lawyer salary!
I need to be patient and accept that, if I'm going to wait for the *right* job it may take up to 6 months - a year. This should be okay with me since I do have stable employment right now, but instead it's just turning me into a total raging *** and I don't like it. I'm normally very happy and pleasant and I don't like the person I've been acting like.

Re: I'm in a funk
Awwwww! I've been there before - and you are so right - sometimes, it's not the job itself, it's just that you have mentally and emotionally "moved on" from the job, before having to the chance to physically "move on"!
What I can tell you is to hang in there, girl! The right opportunity and the right time for it will both meet up for you very soon
DITTO! i know exactly how you feel - I felt that way for about a year or so as I was finishing up my degree and looking for new jobs. It's cliche but true...the right timing is everything! If it helps you at all, I know EXACTLY how you are feeling right now. Hang in there!!!
Thank you, friends! I'm trying to stay positive and usually am okay about it, but days like today when the co-workers are extra obnoxious and I have NOTHING going on make it difficult.
Chin is officially going UP!
p.s. Danie I took a sick day on Monday lol! It made it WORSE because I so enjoyed my lazy time and was not at all looking forward to coming back!
