Then leave it!! I am always so frustrated and unsympathetic towards those people I know who wake up daily and complain about going to work. There are plenty of jobs out there. Try to get another one if you absolutely loathe yours. You can even try starting your own company. Be smart about it but maybe try starting your own thing on the side. I promise you won't be let down.
You might not find what you're looking for right away but eventually you will find a job you enjoy. I get paid to read, write, edit, be creative and listen to music. And I don't even have to cover my tattoos or dress a certain way. Has life always been this great? Of course not.
*Photo is where I used to work on days I worked remotely at the publishing company. It was so peaceful to write at home, with the sliding glass door open to the pool and feel the breeze... ahh... love it. For some cool photos of writers' work spaces, check out this link.
I've had about 45 jobs. Everything from waitress, janitor and cashier to data entry and stocking children's clothes. But each time I really started to hate what I was doing, I would quit. Sure, most times I didn't have a job lined up—and I wouldn't exactly advise that, especially in this economy—but eventually I pushed myself to find a job. Sometimes I ended up disliking that job even more than I'd disliked the previous, but then I would quit and find a new one. My point is that if you hate your job, it's probably your own fault. Don't expect people to feel sorry for you. No one can find you a job you enjoy except you. So do it!
*Photo to the right is from when I worked in publishing. Very hectic!
If you need some job ideas, explore the list of previous jobs I've had. Note, there is probably a good reason I left all of these so you might want to avoid them... but, I must say, I think each and every one of you should work in the service industry so that you don't under-appreciate those people. They're amazing and they deserve respect. And, always remember, tip your server! Twenty percent is the lowest I tip, because I served plenty of times and it can be really brutal!!
Some job ideas (jobs I've had):
-bus girl
-waitress at a restaurant
-waitress for catering
-food prep
-video store
-porn store
-costume store
-consignment shop
-ice cream shop
-marketing for real estate agency
-marketing for pac-man cafe @ xs orlando
-traffic person for ad agency
-sole proofreader/editor for ad agency (I like this one!! That's why I'm still there.)
-listings specialist at tourism publishing company
-internal project manager for new business development, proposal coordinator at tourism publishing company
-concert reviewer
-web editor
-writer
-word and logic puzzle proofreader
-kids' clothing store and toy store
-bookstore
-calendar kiosk
-bartender (but I quit before I really started)
-data entry
-waitress at restaurant in islands of adventure
-food prep
-busser
-picture framing expert at craft store
-bed, bath and beyond
-private investigator (I quit this one before I started too)
-vegan baker
I am happy to say that, though I sometimes grow weary of office politics and I ultimately plan on being 100% self-employed, I do love my job at the ad agency. And I am grateful for where I am. I've worked hard to get here but I truly appreciate it. I write and edit all day. I do freelance writing and editing. And I have a vegan donut business that I started a couple years ago. One day I plan on expanding it but for now it's just more of a hobby and a means of making enough extra money to pay my car insurance.
Have a happy day!!
