My recommendation is that you go find a rich guy to marry so you can quit your job.
But I like HIM. Now our coworker who works laterally . . . hmmmmmm, her, I could off. But I've already taken over 85% of her job (do you think it's weird that the admissions counselor doesn't have anything to do with application processing?) so I don't guess it'd be worth it.
And if I did decide to off coworker 1, with my luck, coirker 2 would get the job.

Wouldn't that involve divorcing you?
Wait, what? You still think you can hook up with Eva Longoria, don't you?
I think you need to make a shirt that has this:
You find another job.. this is not like old Russia where you get assignment papers.
Find a job. Get hired. Give 2 weeks. Be polite and smile...
Don't quit till you have a new job.
I think alot of people who hate their jobs are too scared to try something new, too scared of change.
I would bet that more than 66% of people don't like their jobs, but only 5% do something about it, and they're so set in their ways, they refuse to change, thus their unhappiness.
Exactly. And that's why they will always be where they are, asking the "what if's" their entire life.
Monday thru Friday, the same old routine ... Get up, get ready, fight the traffic, due your job, fight traffic again, go to soccor practice, fix dinner, eat, relax a few minutes, go to bed - only to do it all again tomorrow, and the next day, and the next day, for the rest of your life.
Does anyone remember the movie "Con Air"? Steve Buscemi's character is a low-life con, who is the most vile of the vile. On the plane, someone asks Steve's character something like "Your insane!" to which he responds:
What if I told you insane was working fifty hours a week in some office for fifty years at the end of which they tell you to piss off; ending up in some retirement village hoping to die before suffering the indignity of trying to make it to the toilet on time? Wouldn't you consider that to be insane?
In reality, this is not far from the truth.
I think BigSac hit it on the nail. Many people, myself included, feel that your job is a lifetime thing. And often, we're scared to go out and find another job (even though we hate our current one) because we either don't know where to start or we aren't up to the whole process of getting a new job---new training, new co-workers, getting acclimated to a new company, etc.
I always keep telling myself the following quote:
"Don't live to work, work to live."---
I know it may seem scary, but you should def start looking into other job opportunities--some even outside your comfort circle. If you love what you do and you love your job.....it gets reflected in your work. And I know it's hard to figure out what exactly it is that you "love doing," but that's why you need to do some researching and start thinking about what would be the ideal place for YOU......a place that would make you want to get up every morning.......and then set out to find a job that fits that.
Quit and move to L.A.?
Nothing. You're now part of the majority of americans
well, i quit on Aug 25th, today is oct 18th, and i'm still unemployed.
i would NOT reccomend doing what i did unless you have family that can help you out
or money saved up that can get you through to your next job.
when you got a good chunk saved and a plan?
go for it.
i can get a job at target in LA tomorrow as a management trainee, 45K.
i want a job in music or comedy, or a higher paying technical job, but target is
in my back pocket.
if i don't get a job in the next couple weeks,
Target, here i come.
it's enough to pay my bills, classes, get a car, and put some in savings.
if another job comes along? a better or more lucrative? then i make the jump again.
this is YOUR life. LIVE IT.
i REFUSE to be on my Death Bed one day thinking What If? that.
Goodluck, Godbless.
Make all the people who you oversee wear hot clothing...unless they are overweight and have bulges.
Oh, honey, I'm a happily married woman, and all but one of my workers are 18 - 20 yr old girls. They are mostly cute, but not my style. But it's something to pass the time.
Make em wear bikinis. And have beach party day every day. You can even import the nice white Hawaiian sand, get a pool and fill it with sal er fishies...you get lunch break, go to the pool and lounge with your shades, bikini, and grab some martinis from the martini maker who works at the office. Definitely the way to take off the edge of your workday.

I'm in pretty much that same position as you are. I'm in a job, with no chance of being promoted and get nothing out of my work. I check books out to people all day. I hate 90% of the people I work with. I am just waiting until the end of the month and I'm gone. this place.
