Ok, in 8 years of working, you haven't found a job that you enjoy, or figured out how to cope with a boring job?
well I was in school for 2 years, so it was only 6.5 years and 3.5 jobs (one was over the summer between grad school years). But the answer is no, I haven't. I HATE IT IT MAKES ME WANT TO KILL MYSELF THAT I CAN'T DO THIS.
That could be the BIGGEST understatement EVER made on this board.
I used to have lots of hobbies. I pick up some but there isn't enough time to do them, I don't feel like doing anything after sitting in the same chair wanting to kill myself for hours and hours and hours every single day.

and I have NO WHERE TO GO WHEN I FEEL LIKE THIS.
Then, as something most of us realized who have been on this board for years, your issues run far deeper than just a bad job. I have no doubt that even if you found this dream job that you were looking for, you would be miserable about something else.
You said that you were mostly happy in school, but during that time, there were just as many threads then about an unbearable workload, terrible group partners, and every other trouble in life that most of us take in stride.

I hardly ever posted when I was in school-except during the summer when I was working. I did occaissionally post about things that pissed me off, but doesn't everyone? those were not serious problems-I WAS taking them in stride, just venting a bit. I NEVER felt like picking up the phone receiver when no one's looking and wacking my head. the job is not CAUSING these feelings but I am unable to be IN job because I have them- I can't focus on shitty, boring, tedious things and sit still. don't you get what I'm saying? whatever I'll stop posting now. I want to call my dad but I don't really know how to explain it.

It's not about the random complaining that we all do on this board. When you post about things that bother you, most of the time they end up in 8 page threads because you constantly argue or deflect any and all advice that people give.
It's more than just venting, you seem to go out of your way to dispute anything people say that may help, and you come off as someone who doesn't really even want help with problems, but would rather be miserable about it and find a way to hate yourself or find fault with yourself over it.
There are plenty of good people on this board, who have collectively dealt with more of life's problems and issues than any of us individually could ever have, and we just get frustrated when similar issues come up over and over and over again. It doesn't seem like you ever want to deal with anything, but would rather say that everyone's advice won't work for you because of this excuse or that excuse.

Find a job that let's you do a lot of different things. I hate just sitting in doing one thing all day long too. I've had jobs like that and I was not happy. But now I get to do so many different things...and if one thing gets boring I can turn my attention to the next. I loved school too...and I love working in an academic environment. I considered research for a while...but I think I've found my perfect fit. Just figure out what your skills are and what you love doing and then be creative in trying to find a job that gives you some variety.
I think constantly putting yourself down and thinking the worst about every situation is beyond boring and repetitive but you seem very focused on that.
Its time to find a new job. Life is short don't waste it wishing it were anything else. Live up the moment because sadly our time is way too short here. Stop whining and start living! Youll feel much better.
Jaysus. Speaking of wanting to gouge one's eyes out than this thread would do it to you. I myself LOVE focusing on boring crap that I am not interested in :rolleyes:
:eek: Why did I join in on flogging the dead horse....??? Just killing time while waiting for news I guess
