Now I'm gonna sound like the old bastard I am but these days your lucky to have a job.
Okay, vent on me. ;)
agreed. i hate my job but glad to have one. I find nothing interesting about it. i'm just glad that once they pile on the work, they leave me alone. most of the good internet sites are blocked here, too. thank god for the power of flirtation, or i could not get our IT guy to unblock this site. also even though i hate the job, i love my co-workers. i'm the only white person amongst all black and hispanic women. they call me miss ohio and cornbread and they laugh at most everything i say or do. (lol) tangent. so i guess moral of the story, find the good in every shit job :-)

i get crisp cracker, amish, prude mary, tractor girl, square pegs lol...and i've been here almost 6 years;
I HAD a shit job, my boss nearly pushed me over the edge, stress wise. I literally had a physical reaction every time I walked into the office.
I loved it to begin with, lots of responsibility, even though I was young when I joined the company, and got along with pretty much everyone. However, 18mths later they did a restructure and I was given a new boss. The bitch took all of my high level responsibilities and gave them to someone else because I was a "junior" (ie. the youngest in the company, thus a pleb) and I was left unpacking paper in the copy room/setting up for staff drinks my last 6 months.
I told them to shove it almost a year ago and it still feels good when I think about it!
The only problem is that my new job is in the same building, only a few floors apart (completely different company/industry.. just a freak coincidence!) so I still see them everyday.
Loving my job now, I'm involved with a lot of projects, manage my own workload and my boss is a champ.
Moral of my story - If you are really unhappy and can quit your job (unfortunately not an option for a lot of people at the moment) then do it. Life's too short to be miserable.

Yeah, previous position was horrible and there are a few here who may remember how bad some of my posts where about 2 years or so ago. Currently position is marginally better. Like you Penny, they pile on work and leave me be, thankfully. Since I do not have to work with our sales and marketing groups nearly as much, I can sit, listen to the ole ipod and work. Hell, when some reports are running, I can squeeze in internet time. Up until a couple weeks ago, couldn't stand the people I work with and sit near. Different political spectrum and they are loud about it plus they're a bunch of bigots (you know the ones who said the refuse to ride our Metrolink because
those people ride them). Thankfully a couple friends from my old department transferred over.

Indeed,the need for money for that purple stuff starts at a young age. Soon you'll find it will take up all your time and all your money.
Chances are you will get a funny name and spend time dancing and flailing about like some kind of Banshee,consumed with the Devil and his peanut butter!
There's the thing about that spanish guy, his eyes, he's got lifeless eyes. Black eyes. Like a doll's eyes. When he comes at ya, doesn't seem to be living... until he shoots that air gun into ya, and those black eyes roll over white and then... ah then you hear that terrible high-pitched screamin' and you say you don't have to do this and he flips a coin, and anyway we delivered the bomb.
Back to the topic at hand, my job used to be a shit job, I would seriously have stomach pains going to work, and I'd flinch when the phone rang. I was wearing every hat in the place - software developer, tech support, training, trade shows, the works, for about 2 years. When somebody had a problem (which was about every half hour), I couldn't hand them off to anybody, I was the guy and had to make the fix with the customer on the phone screaming in my ear that they have a truck on the scales ready to go to the field and they can't figure out how to export a file cuz they can't find the 'Any' key. I wouldn't have lasted long if we weren't able to start hiring people soon after.

:fingerscrossed:
I've yet to get my first real job. But my hope right now is to get one this sping at a grocery store.
I keep threatening to quit my job - and then my husband volunteers to go over to the Sear's dumpster and get a refrigerator box so that we'll have a place to live afterwards....underneath the freeway overpass.
I had a decent job working as an xray tech which I went to school for. Got layed off from there and now I am working at a department store with a bunch of girls that are still in high school making $11 less an hour. Beat that! Oh and a month before I got layed off, I bought a brand new Nissan 350 Z... Thank god I still live with mom.

I've been with the same dept store for almost 13 years and I'm still making just over $8.00 an hour and have no car.Can I come live with you and your mom? ;)
To paraphrase the bard of moss-side:
...this position I hold; it pays my way, but it corrodes my soul...
This thread reminds me of that old Adam Sandler song,"Piece Of Shit Car". ;D
My past three years:
I took a buyout from a major auto manufacturer. The job sucked and I had one semester of school left. I lived off of that money while finishing school.
I then made a foray into public accounting. I audited banks in the middle of f*&%ing nowhere for about 9 months. It sucked. Like you all are saying, I was physically sick. In those 9 months, I was away from home for 70% of the time. I was rude to my girl, family, and friends all the time because I hated my job. I started looking for more.
Last year, someone told me about a restaurant chain HQed in the Louis. I went and met with them numerous times and it is now my home. I love my job; hell, it is one of our slogans. I wear shorts and t shirts to work in the summer with flip flops. Everyone jokes around all day, while getting work done. They do not block internet; Almost everyone in the building is on Facebook. It is like high school social hour all day.
Remember one thing, you will get done in life, and you have to pick yourself back up. Know what you want out of a job, and 9 times out of 10, you can find it if you look. And also, know you can accomplish anything, and you will. Peace!

are they hiring LOL?
i should put this in the rant thread but i'm working on a sunday. damn the man.
We hired about 10 staff accountants this past year. It's great to be in a growing place. The company only started about 15 years ago.
Before I moved, I was working as a manager but getting paid and had the same title as everyone else. It was aggravating but I was working with friends and came out of it with a great reference and a job if I find myself back in Mchigan. But the whole thing was really depressing. When I moved to Nashville I was working the same shift and absolutely hated it. I hated it with every essence of my being. There was no one I could talk to and I was just miserable. I tranferred to a different shift and am enjoying it a lot more. The same week I transferred, I got a job at the arena downtown and so far I love working there. It's great having two jobs that are flexible and will allow me to start saving some money.

The rental car business is a real shit job. BUt I don't know what's worse working a shitty job or job hunting.
What's up with this "real" job stuff on this thread. If you work and are compensated for that work, that is a "JOB."

So, it's not a real job in my eyes.

I dont know what my favorite job Ive ever had has been. Its a close race between having my own lawn mowing business in high school/first couple years of college (ie, basically working when I wanted, listening to tunes, the smell of fresh cut grass, and getting a little sun and exercise) or delivering pizzas my last couple years of college at Penn State (ie listening to tunes, drive/work at my own pace, free food, seeing all kinds of crazy shit in State College and fun deliveries to drunk people).
I served and bussed at a few different restaurants too, and although not bad and usually working with some cool people, it was nowhere near as nice as either of those.
If those jobs paid better, I could seriously live a happy life doing either of them the next 40 years.
I had a rather sobering day at work today. I am actually looking to hire and was going through a four inch thick pile of resumes received in the last two days. Wow. There were so many resumes from people who haven't been working for over a year. Some going on two years. It was depressing.
I think the unemployment rate in California is somewhere around 9.3%. A shit job is better than no job.

I think I have a pretty decent job. It's a ton of work and mostly when I describe it to people they seem completely uninterested but oh well, it allows me to use my strengths in math. My point though, is there are a ton of squares in my profession. We have a message board and I was browsing it today and noticed this thread on Bonnaroo.

It is REALLY bad here in the bay area. Especially for us in construction. Any job down here is a blessing. Think about not having a job before you say "my job sucks". The person that hears you might not have one and give anything to have yours...just my two cents

I did some work at the new Folsom Prison last year (it's next door to Old Folsom), and that place is scary. Other than Pelican Bay, I think it's the highest security prison in the state. We were driving around through the facility with one of the maintenance guys, and we went through this big indoor space that had a bunch of furniture and stuff covered in plastic sheets. He goes,"We used to have a vocational training center in here, carpentry, that kind of stuff, but the prisoners kept killing each other with the tools. Now we just use it for storage." :-/
