Comments on: Do I like my job? http://theweightofmoney.com/2007/04/do-i-like-my-job.html understanding the weight of money Mon, 25 Jan 2010 03:09:53 -0800 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Donna Jean http://theweightofmoney.com/2007/04/do-i-like-my-job.html/comment-page-1#comment-3316 Donna Jean Tue, 17 Apr 2007 02:37:35 +0000 http://theweightofmoney.com/2007/04/do-i-like-my-job.html#comment-3316 thanks for the feedback. this was certainly a situation where I didn't hold out for something long enough. being without income was terrifying and I had to lose the commute to the previous job. I'm much more committed to making sure the next job will work because I just can't start this process again in 3 more months. hopefully the job I just applied for will come through for me - it's back in education and combines a lot of the things I enjoy doing. thanks for the feedback. this was certainly a situation where I didn’t hold out for something long enough. being without income was terrifying and I had to lose the commute to the previous job.

I know how frustrated you must be right now. I'm having a hard time being motivated about anything work-related while I'm trying to find another ship to jump to. Best of luck.

Good luck. It's good that you recognize the specific things bothering you. It looks like you have a strategy for coping with it. I'll be honest, there is only so much holding of the tongue you can do at work till you just want to run screaming. But hold out for something good to come along, rather that run off to something acceptable. I made that mistake one too many times and suffered for it. In the end, the last job really had me tearing out my hair, but the right set of opportunities revealed themselves and it was time to go. I wish you a lot of luck! Oh my. Good luck.
