Stuck in a rut

Submitted by Snake on September 18, 2007 - 09:21.

Regretfully I have a loathsome job. Actually, correction - my job is quite decent, it is the BOSS that is loathsome.

Think I am simply complaining? How about a fact that I just love sharing - his 3 daughters from his first marriage have DISOWNED him, they hate him so much. They refuse to talk to him - at least one has stated they wish he would simply die off.

He is a thoroughly unlikable individual - narcissistic and obsessive-compulsive, a truly ugly combination of character traits.

At "least" he knows that he is obsessive-compulsive...

Sometimes no matter what we do we have "miserable" jobs; thinking about the "better" parts of the job does not help. And since he is co-owner of the place, there is nobody "higher" to go to (because his business partner hates him, as well).

I am looking for a new job but simply must keep this one to make ends meet.

I wish these "self-help" articles would target the 'lost cause' situations as well as they do the "it isn't TOO bad" situations.
