No really, what do you do to help you get thru the day? I often feel like I want to run screaming out the door. I know I'm not alone in this (at least I hope so!), so what are your coping strategies?

I put myself on automatic a lot, and ignored the people around me. It got the job done, got a rep as being standoffish but it helped me get through the day. luckily, it was only for 6 months.

Think about the people who have had to give up their loved furbabies because they can't afford to take care of them.

(((Linda))) Sorry work's so tough on you :(
I tell myself I need the money and try to take time to enjoy myself when I'm not working and rewarding myself with something special every now and then. It's not easy and sometimes it's not worth it. Eventhough my job at the production company last year was much more stable and made me more money than the gym, I just could not stand it and it got to the point where I spent the whole weekend off dreading going into work on Monday. That's when I knew it was time to quit and stick with my job at the gym.
Hope it gets better for you or that you'll be able to find another job where you're treated better.
Bobby and Mi send purrs of comfort to you. -
Chocolate
Look at photos of my cats (on my iphone)
Go to itty bitty kitty committee website to view kittens
More chocolate
Walk across the street to get a starbucks mocha
Walk around the building/parking lot
Chew some bubble gum and blow bubbles (work in a cubicle)
Go get a glass of water or use the bathroom
More chocolate (okay...I don't eat that much but you get the gist of how it helps)
Remind myself to be thankful for my paycheck and having a job when many do not
Think about how it was to be working as a temp and not have a benefits
Put earphones on and listen to music on iphone
Send an email to a friendSending you some hugs Linda. I can totally commiserate on the job as I have been working more hours lately and even though the overtime helps in the paycheck sometimes you would rather have your life back.

Oh and if you can't leave and there is an empty office...borrow it for a mini "me" break with closing the blinds and locking the door.

Why does your boss not like you closing the door to your office. Will it make them think you are pulling a "George-Seinfeld"?

I wish I could give you an answer but I go thru the same thing. I'm new here btw. Some days I tear up before walking in the door but I still say my prayers of thanks that I have a job since I'm around lots of people out of work. News is bad all over. I often feel guilty about complaining but can't help the way I feel. Hope it gets better for you. I find it helps to get away from the building for lunch. It's not much, but it's my little bright spot each day. I work with idiots and bullies who don't know what the #%@ they are doing! Ah, corporate America!!

With you, Ladysky! But having watched my darling going through hell hating his job, I know how hard that is too. The only advice that I have is make it worth it by saving money towards something. If you can't get any pleasure from work, you can at least enjoy the cash you earn. Even if you cannot save much at a time, I find putting a bit aside regularly for something that you really want for you, not for other people, can make it feel more worth it. Sounds selfish, but feeling like you are working and being miserable just to spend all your money on other people can make you feel bitter towards them, when it is not their fault.
