Dont like job, how to stay enthusiastic?

I'm sure there are others out there that have a job they don't like. That's the boat I'm in now. While i like my job itself, the work is somewhat stimulating, it seems that the company i work for is run by a group of shit-flinging monkeys.

I have no desire to move up anywhere in the company, and genuinely feel like there's no future for me here. Lately i've been finding it very difficult to stay enthusiastic about my work...

I am looking for employment elsewhere but things are moving slowly.. the job market for my skillset is not great at the moment...

Do you guys have any tips or ideas on how to keep my head in my work?

 

1. Think about the bills you have to pay.

2. Designate certain hours of your work as "hobby money."

 

If the work is stimulating, you're actually not in a really bad situation. I have been in the opposite situation where I hated the work and somewhat enjoyed the people (well, at least some of them): it was painful everyday. I would have traded places with you in a minute.

 

Pee in your boss's coffee.

 

See a Hypnotist,

then go see the Bobs.

 

A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do. Harden the F#ck up and do the best job you can and take solace in that.

 

I thought all company's were run by shit flinging monkeys? I remember seeing many hot women in Toronto, have an affair?

 

I find that drinking strong coffee until I have the attention span of a gnat makes everything more interesting. Plus, your whole day becomes more urgent and exciting because of the constant need to go to the restroom.

 

Find out if the boss has a hot daughter, then figure out what you need to do to become part owner ;-)

 

Print this and place in your work area :up:

 

yep I'm going to have to do that. :up:

 

My boss is only two years older than me, but his fiancee is hot....

I drink a lot of water during the day, i have to pee enough as it is!! haha

Done and done.


The Beebs has some very entertaining stuff to read.. unfortunately i'm not really supposed to spend all day on the innernetz.

 

The moment you walk into the office grab the biggest book around and then hit yorself squarely in the nuts followed quickly with a shot to the head...work won't be so painful after that

Maybe this will help:

Murphy's Laws

maybe things will get better, focus more on you and less on the monkeys!

 

FN quit. Life is too short. Honestly why be unhappy. Plenty of opportunities in this country to do what you really want to do.

 

Look on the bright side - it only takes up 1/3 of your day. Well actually it takes up 1/2 of the time your actually awake. Wait a minute - was I suppose to be helping.

 

Work for yourself? No clue what you do though.....

 

Daydream about racing all day! :up:

 

focus on what you're grateful for. you need to change your perspective.
