Lauren, I feel your pain on the job front. I've spent considerable time and energy despising my job. You're doing great with the reasons why you wouldn't / shouldn't tell them off & storm out in a huff!
Do you have any distraction techniques on a short list to help you get through the roughest patches?
I have a sign in my cube that reads:
Quote:
Remember, every problem is an opportunity.
You have the opportunity to rise above.
You have the opportunity to gently and cordially remind people of information they need to succeed.
You have the opportunity to triumph in a difficult situation.
Sometimes I gloss right over it and the message doesn't even register but other times I really find it helpful. Just because I want to scream and throttle someone for making my life more difficult, in the grand scheme of things, that's what I'm here for - my life gets difficult so I can make theirs easier. That's what they pay me for. *sigh*
How close are you to graduating?
