Musings on why I shouldn't hate my job (and yet often do)

I'm typing this from my shiny new desk! Yay for me! It is all assembled now, and my computer has relocated to it. I still have to do the accessory pieces, and hook up my scanner and printer, but still, no more typing in scrunched up uncomfortableness from my bed!

As much as I really dislike a lot of things about my job lately, I really do like my close coworkers. I went out for lunch today with my supervisor, my relocated work friend (who was back for the day), and the new woman in my department. It was nice. It was more than nice, really. And it reminded me, most of the time it isn't the job itself that makes work any more or less bearable, it's the people you work with. Temp work taught me that. The difference between a good temp gig and a crappy one was the coworkers.

I do like the people I work with. The people in my department, anyway. The rest of the office could kiss my fat ass for all I care, but I do really like the people I work closely with.

And you know what else? I like the job I have to do. I feel it's worthwhile, and I like that I can go home and know exactly what impact the things I spent 7 hours doing has had on people.

So why isn't that enough most of the time? Why do I fixate so much on the shitty parts of my job? I let the parts of the job I hate take over. The parts of the job I hate often make me come home and hate my job. The whole job.

Is that really screwed up?

I wish I had some Peppermint Schnapps. Mmm... pepperminty...
