Damn, tomorrow is Monday and I have to go to work again. Just thinking of it makes me wanna kill myself. If only I could die painlessly and quickly I'd be all for it, but I suspect this isn't going to work. Someone has to put me out of my misery. But who can I count on? I can't trust even myself. This job of mine... it's like life in hell. Simply put, it sucks so badly it makes me want to cry. Now I guess someone could tell me to get another job. Easier said than done, obviously. It's like a Chinese torture. Imagine, I have to sit in front of a computer all day surrounded by ladies who are also at their damn computers and work, work, work. My eyes hurt from looking at the frigging PC screen 8 hours a day. At my last job I worked for my father's aquaintance, and I did nothing all day, nothing and was happy. I just sat on my ass and stared at the wall in front of me, drank coffee and tea, had 2-hour long lunch break, was feeling sooo lazy and relaxed, came to work at 10 or even 11 a.m., left at 5 p.m. and barely even had to look at the computer screen, maybe to browse the 'net a little. And I didn't feel bored. Noone disturbed me and that was all I called for at the time. But after 1.5 years of happy life I got booted and had to look for a new job. Try to find a good job being an accountant. And what else can I do? Go to college again? What can I become? I bet it would be the same agony as accounting. God how I hate all this crap. I was hired by a magazine and now I have to write stuff about accounting problems there. This is killing me. There is a strict schedule and every day I have to write something. Every frigging day I have to work. I still wonder why they hired my lazy ass, probably coz they don't pay much money there, I don't know. But if they fire me too or I quit what the hell am I supposed to do? I don't have money and the only way I can get it is working and I don't like to work. Do you think there's a way out of this vicious circle?

Boo hoo.


Edit: And just to clarify there are multiple ways for you to die quickly and painlessly so if you are all for it then have at it. :thumbsup:

First of all what is your new job?

Secondly. most jobs Expect you to work. So you were living it easy to get to sit on your ass and do nothing all day long.

Thrid if you want something different, your going to have to go to school, most places now days (where I am atleast) will not even blink at you seriously without some kind of collage. Unless your applying for a call center job.

To find another job where you *GET* to sit on your ass all day, are far and few between. As you know the people who have those jobs don't leave either.. because they would rather not do anything and still get paid for it..

Welcome to the real world. Most of us actually work for a living.

I wouldn't mind doing some actual work for a living, but I don't get why the hell I have to stare at the dratted screen all day. If only I could get a job not connected with computers...

Toughest job you'll ever love. Very little chance of staring at any type of screen, either.

Heh, heh, how true. The wife and I were in the Peace Corps from '77 to '79 and it was definitely a love hate situation. One thing is for sure though, you will never forget or regret your experiences.

I had a job I loathed for 5 years during one miserable portion of my life and I still kick myself to this day for not quitting on the first day like I knew I should. Unfortunately, I had a family to support. I eventually changed careers, though it took years to get established.

In the end, it's your own fault if you are miserable, especially if you have noone to support but yourself. Life is too short to be unhappy. Make a plan to change and follow it.

I already made some kind of 'escape' plan. I don't live in your country and where I live it isn't easy to get a job. I guess I could get a more simple job here and be more happy (or less unhappy), but, unfortunately, here they don't pay enough for non-educated jobs. It's completely impossible to survive on that kind of income. And if we talk of occupations that require education, they're all offce-type and all in front of a computer. It's a take it or leave it situation. That's why I've worked out a plan. Following someone's advice on this forum, I've filed an application for a Canadian 'green card'. Lawyers told be that I qualify if I continue to work in accounting for some more time (I should have 4 years exp. to get more points to qualify). My plan is basically to move to Canada and get a job @ McDonalds there. I think there they would pay enough to live on even for flipping burgers, so to speak. Of course, I may be wrong. So I got a question because you guys know:
1. Will McDonalds hire someone who is 26 years old (or a litlle more since I have to wait for a about year).
2. Is it possible to live on McDonald's pay? My goal is to have a car, maybe an old and cheap one and my own place (shabby but mine, without roommates).
Of course, this may not work out but if this fails I currently don't know what else I could do to escape the torture of office work.

So tell us more about joinning the peace corps. I'd really like to do it at some point in my life.

I'm in somewhat of a similar situation where I'm not happy about my job a single bit. I'm a programmer and I'm stuck with a sales / Marketing job that sells auto afterperformance parts. You're right, part of it is our own fault, and I should definitely make a plan to change and follow it.

Your best bet is to go to the Peace Corps website (it didn't exist back when we went in ), read up and request some literature. Your chances of getting an assignment are based on whether they need someone with your particular experience and abilities. I was a heavy equipment mechanic with no college degree but managed to get in because they needed someone to teach local farmers in the Dominican Republic how to maintain and repair their equipment. They took my wife with no college or specific abilities because they needed someone with my background so desperately.

In our case, we made our application and then never heard anything from them except that they had received it. A year later they called and said they had an opening, this was on a Friday, but that we had to process and be in Miami, we live in CA, by the following Friday. :Q The wife and I were footloose and fancy free at the time and we managed to rent out our house, sell our cars, store our furniture, get our passports, take our medicals and some of our immunizations and made it to Miami at 7:00 a.m. (at the Peace Corps' expense) the following Friday.

That was just the beginning of an adventure we will never forget.

And more. I won't be able to do office work for a long time probably. Job ads only invite sub-35-30 y.o. people. I wonder what I'm going to do in 10 years, when I hit say 35. I'll be damned if I'll be able to hold on my current job for 10 years. When they replace the chief editor they also replace all junior editors, and that usually happens within 2-year timeframe b/c owners of the business say your magazine sucks etc, happened to two other magazines within the publishing already. They basically give you a kick in the @ss and you have to look for a new job. I've heard numerous horror stories of people older than 30 not being able to get any office job at all, being unemployed for endless months. And that's all I can do for now. I won't be young forever, heck. Maybe I should start my own business of some sort, but what about racketeers and the fact that small businessess usually don't last long...

Well, I am a looser. I think it's tough to find a bigger looser than me. I don't have and never had a single friend or a girlfriend, hell noone even talks to me for months. If I get extremely lucky, all I'll be able to get will a job at McDonalds when I'm about 30 years old. I'm probably going to loose my current job, too. When I walk on the street, people make fun of me b/c I'm short and their big and they bump me.

This is a definitively very sad story...
When you get out ot touch of peoples, you get sad - that's natural. Sad and depressed... No friends? Hell, it can't be that hard to find some peoples with similar interests to at least discusse with them often No girlie? Come one, girlies need some attention and hug & love too Don't hold all for just yourself, that's unfair.

...eh, do you even have some interests?
