So, what do you do?

What do you do when you know you should be thankful that you have a job, and that's all your employer reminds you of (all the time), but all you can think about is the day you can quit?

Is that wrong?

I took the wrong job offer last summer. I have known that for several months, but things just keep getting worse here. My personality doesn't fit in with their culture(i.e. I'm not little miss nice girl 24/7, imagine that!). I am damn good at what I do, but because a few people don't like me, it's gone on my review, and that's all they seem to be focusing on.

AUGH!!!!!!

Can someone say "subjectivity?" Whatever happened to objective, performance-based reviews? I mean, I know I am FAR from perfect (eons away, in fact), but it's still incredibly frustrating to have people's personal opinions of me, and not much else, show up in my review.

I am in a very awkward position here. I am deeply grateful that I am gainfully employed, but is it also okay for me to be deeply frustrated? I wish I could give my job to someone who would love it as much as I loved my last job, and I wish I could get a great one in return, but I know none of that can be the case right now, so I am trying to suck it up. It sucks a lot. I hate the recession!

I hate that I feel selfish for disliking my job, but I know someone else would be happy with it. I just wish I had another source of revenue coming in, because I would leave tomorrow if I could and give someone else the chance to flourish.

Ugh. I hate being a grown-up.
