Job Sucks! It is the reason I started listening to KATG religiously! However, I am leaving in 6 weeks, so gradually giving less and less a shit then when I started.
Yeah for giving notice on your last day!

Make a few screen savers from these www.despair.com . It's particularly effective if your office has tons of "successory" posters around, acting like they're inspirational.

Gee, why didn't we think of that? Maybe some of us know making this choice is better than the alternative, which is less money, a longer commute, less opportunities for advancement in our respective fields, less opportunities to spend quality time with friends or family, or unemployment. We're all aware we have choices and our choices have consequences.

How many of us worked shitty jobs because it freed up our schedule to take care of what was really important at the time (school, kids, other labors of love)? I'd like to think that even as I was bitching about my shitty jobs I had before this one, I was at least able to see what it gave me, whether it was important for my resume, or flexible so I could attend class. 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.

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.

I love my job but fuck me the place I work for are annoying cunts sometimes. I work for a nanny/childcare agency and if they have shifts that they can't give away they'll trick you into taking them. The amount of times I've said yes to work and then get told "Oh the kid is autistic" or being told its a 9month old baby instead of a 9week old. Fucking obnoxious and I was talking to one of the other nannies today and they apparently do it to everyone. They didn't tell her when she agreed to work that the baby was being taken away from the mother that afternoon.
