I'm sure I didn't all the time, but I do remember that when I did I had a lot easier time going to work knowing that my priority at the time was not to have a nice manager, it was to finish college or whatever.
With my co-workers, it's not the bitching that bothers me, it's this helpless attitude that they couldn't possibly figure out a way to change their situation. The fact that they refuse to acknowledge that they're the people keeping themselves in their shitty job. The fact that they're not trying to move on if they hate it so much.

Some jobs are like that, but sometimes with the current job market you have to take just anything and you don't really have a choice.
I've continued applying everywhere since getting my current job. This is the only job offer I've had in 9 months as of July 3rd.
If you have too much experience you're over qualified for any smaller jobs, and you have to compete with 7-800 people for the good jobs.
I went to a job fair a month ago and counted of in groups of 50ish, 700 people there to meet 8 employers filling 10 jobs.
So ya gotta take anything now, shitty or not.
