I need an attitude adjustment. I'm sick and tired of my job, but should be greatful as so many are out of work.

Somebody kick me.

Quit!

You don't need those a-holes!

^ A short visit to the unemployment office should give you a glimpse of hard reality. After seeing that, you will appreciate what you have.

I'm still trying to recover from a 5.5 month layoff! It's devastating financially! DONT QUIT!

It can be a nightmare!

Be thankful you're working, keep the job, and send out tons of resumes!

would you rather be kicked in the head or the chest..?? how about knee-capped..?? Ram has a new bat...

is there any way to change your job a bit?

anything you could suggest to the boss to alter it in a way you would like?

anything else you would rather do inside the organization that could either raise revenue or help cut expenses?

When you change jobs, you trade the evil that you know for the evil that you don’t know.

I say Fuq em!! You don't need that crap!! Quit!! Just do it!! You'll feel better*!!!

*by feel better, I mean royally screw yourself and your family

How much savings do you have?

How much will your unemployment check be?

Do the math. Then file fro unemployment online, kick back, and smoke a cigar.

I take it the "promotion" wasn't all it was cracked up to be?

Dan, think about what has happened in your life over the last couple years. I know that life has thrown you a lot of curve balls, but God has brought you through it.

Give thanks, and try to find a way to help someone out who is less fortunate than you.

If you want/need to talk, let me know.

“It is easier to find a job when you already have one.”

Anybody who wants to be "greatful" should thank the boss profusely for his job.

First things first.

a. Put the pipe down.

b. The word is spelled "grateful", not "greatful".

c. Don't know what your job is, but I'm guessing it isn't proofreader for the NY Times. Then again, I find typos in newspapers just about every day, so I don't think anyone is proofreading.

I do know this--you either have to find a way to like the job you have or find one you like. I've learned the hard way that staying too long in a job you don't like can exact a toll on you. That's why I take extra steps to try to make life as easy and enjoyable as I can for my employees. We already work in a stress-filled profession. If I can make it a little less stressful at the office, I know that will help all of us (including me) a great deal.

So...been there, done that. As I say, either find a way to like your present job or find a new one.

do yall really put as much time in proofing your posts in here as you do work products?

I bow to your grateness LOL

#14 Sorry....it's the OCD. I have an English degree and a law degree, which means that usually at any given time in any given party, I often have at least the capacity to become the most annoying person in the room.

Good thing I quit drinking, huh?

BTW, Dan, I had another thought...can you join or at least get into a gym? Go half an hour at the end of your day with a heavy bag for the next week or two. Either that or try something like splitting a bunch of firewood. It's amazing how much that sort of activity can help some times.

^^ could be worse. On top of it, you could be an insurance salesman relative who won't take no for an answer.

# 3, 4 and 6. Thanks guy's...attitude adjusted.

#5. I'll take one in the left knee, a morophine drip and about 10 gallons of ice-cream.

#8. LOL Yeah, but it's fun to dream eh?

#9. Zero and not enough

#10. The promotion was nice, but remember this is state govt work that is federally funded. We are rolling out a new website and most of my work happens when the web-site rolls. Now I don't have much to do but sit in the cube and take "requests," sort-of, for info and such. I guess it's working in general that disagrees with me. Jojoc your 100 percent right about helping somebody. Whenever I'm in a funk or thinking to much, spending to much time in my head, that is the trick. Thanks Brother.

#13. I gots an English Lit degree to also. But no law degree. Plus I think the word should be spelled "greatful" as the word/meaning of "great" adds spice to the word/meaning "grateful." Similar to the Bard, I sometimes create new words, but not for internal use.

#14. I sure as hell dont.

Thanks to all of you folks for the attitude adjustment.

re 9: "file fro unemployment"

More donutboy racism!
