Work has sucked harder than usual the last couple weeks...it doesn't help that each time I pull into the place, I just start getting irritated because it sucks. Maybe I am a little more irritated than usual since I didn't get that job from my second interview last week.
Apparently since this job is the only thing I am qualified to do and i will probably be stuck here for a while, help me out so I don't lose my effing mind.
There have been a lot of people walking out in another department where the employees get pretty dumped on, and I wish I was in a position just to say "screw u, I'm out" and it just sucks to go to a place that you are miserable at day in and day out
The kicker is if I knew then what I do now, I would've never went to school, and left the job I had to go to the job I was laid off from as it was relevant to what I went to school for.

I guess the only words I have for you is some tough love buddy. Life is tough. It's tough for everyone not just you. Where you struggle with a career choice, others struggle witih health concerns, or financial woes. My grandparents grew up in an era where 1 in 3 people were unemployed and my grandfather didn't finish school because he had to sell apples on a street corner to help the family make ends meet. After that he was sent overseas to fight an enemy that wanted to destroy us while my grandmother raised 2 kids alone while dealing with supply rations due to the war effort. Adversity makes us stronger, and like I've told my kids several times...it's not about how many times you get knocked down in life, it's about how many times you get back up. So get back up, dust yourself off, and fight like I know you can!

what do you mean by "where the employees get pretty dumped on." More work gets piled on you? Explain.
So is everyone in your cubicle farm working as well not in their degree?
What is your degree? See if I can help.
you have one these socio feel good degrees.....
Seriously. Start networking...I'm asking, expand your network.

My department as well as another department are not looked at real high in the organizational hierarchy....considering second shift is like second class within my department, we tend to get dumped on. The other department, they take the people that actually work and run them in the ground until they get fed up. They had a handful of people walk out this week.
I was in a cube farm prior to getting the job I got laid off from. While in the cube farm, I went into and architectural tech program (CAD drafting)..got a job while in school, and then got laid off a year and a half later when economy tanked, projects put on hold, other companies who normally didn't do what we did were bidding and lowballing to get jobs to keep their doors opened.
Pretty much even when I was looking for that job, and after my layoff, it was "you don't have enough experience", and now it is not only the experience, but an interview a month ago it was that it has been too long since I have worked in that field. I should've stayed in the cube farm.
Part of it for me to is that mentally, I feel that I will be able to put the layoff behind me if I am able to move on from the job I had to take because I had no job. I have moved up as much as I can (started as part time, and am in the "charge" position on my shift)
The last couple weeks sucked.....combined with the rejection letter I got on my 2nd interview last week, and some crap that went on last night....I hit my limit and just about lost my marbles. Was a bad night..ha a headache all day today...I think because I was raging last night. If I was single, without a kid...I probably would've just loaded my car and started to drive and just seen wherever I ended up
