I'm not the only one, right?
I've usually had jobs that I tolerated. And that's the thing, I've had jobs, not a career. I'm an artistic person, who is dreaming of landing (at this point any) creative career. Lately, I've been dreading my job so much, that I'm stressed, and could literally scream at the top of my lungs, and run away!
I'm currently working at a law firm. And while I love being around strong women, I'm starting to hate everyone. My boss is that type of person that doesn't have her sh*t together, and so blames me for everything. If there is a computer glitch in China, that's my fault (true story). No matter what I do, it's wrong, and if I ask a question, well then how dare I ask one. If I don't ask a question, well then how dare I not ask one. And the thing that pisses me off the most, is that she'll call me stupid in front of everyone for her mistakes! I'm completely miserable. I can't just quit in this economy, and I can't seem to find a creative/ or even better job right now. I'm going crazy and pulling out my hair. I just need to know that I'm not the only one out there......
Re: I'm not the only one, right?
No, you are not alone. Many of my friends are unhappy with their job - to the same degree as you or here and there. I think it happens with all jobs. You do sound miserable and in that situation, I would be too!!
Good luck finding something new and don't give up on the search! There are things out there, it just takes time and sometimes some good digging.
I think you need to find ways to enjoy the things you do outside of work. I find that it makes it easier to deal with when I know I have something to look forward to over the weekend or at the end of the work day.
Completely, 100000% understand. I'm in the exact same boat and it's killing me. I'm very unhappy with my current job situation and I'm even more frustrated that I worked so hard in college and 3 years out I'm still not where I wanted to be. My big problem is...the longer I'm out of my field, the worse it gets. I went to school for teaching, got my A+ in student teaching but there just aren't any jobs and when there is an opening the competition is ridiculous...and I can't sub because the money and consitency isn't enough.
What type of job are you looking to get into? Do you have any contacts that could maybe put in a good word for you somewhere?
