My one major complaint

I think the thing that's bugging me the most in my life right now is my job, or work in general. Now not many people actually like, let alone love, their job. I don't like using hate since it's a very strong emotion, so I'll just say I really dislike my job. For the time being, it's paying bills, so I'm dealing with it. I'm in the process of trying to find a new one, but, of course, the job market out here sucks big time.

The one thing I've been trying to figure out is whether it's the jobs I get or just upper management in general that I can't deal with. Upper management also being anyone with a certain amount of power: teachers, parents, bosses, etc. I don't know if I can't deal with people with that power, or if it's just the environment that I work.

I haven't had a job for more than a year, give or take a few months. Well, that is, other than my first job which was a joke. It was very simple, I was working p/t and with a bunch of people I went to HS with. And my bosses didn't really give a shit about anything. With that in mind, my thoughts have been torn between the cause of either not finding a job I really enjoy or issues with upper management. It could be a little of both, but I have had jobs that I have enjoyed, mostly because my bosses were cool. But that 'liked' job was only one other time, and the only reason I left that job was because I moved from NY to AZ.

Another big thing about how much I like a job is the people I work with. Where I work now, I basically keep to myself. If I talk to one of the people in my dept. I feel like an outsider. A few of the people around me have all gone to HS together, and they're all about 3 yrs younger than I am. So they're kind of clique-y. I don't like that. So I tend to stay away from them. I don't think I come off as snotty or stuck-up, but I don't know. I talk to people when they talk to me, and we have nice conversations, but I've never actually 'hung out' with anyone here. I usually just keep to myself, try to keep my concentration on getting my work done, no matter how boring it is.

I know that eventually I'm going to find a place I really enjoy, though it might not be till after I graduate and get myself started on my career, but even that's not guaranteed. I suppose I'll just try to stay positive in this whole situation. I'm sure something good will come out of it!
