in fact, i've been spending this afternoon looking for a new one. my resume is all ready, I just need to find some vacancies.

the sad thing is that the hospital i work for is excellent but the job they have me doing sucks worse than anything i've ever done. i was told that i would be working with animals and instead i answer the phone all day and file. i am not meant to be a secretary and i told them this during my interview. my pay really sucks and my benefits don;t really make up for it. it'd be one thing if i actually got to work with the patients but that hasn;t happened and it doesn;t look like it's going to.

i know that working full time is tough but is it normal to feel nothing but dusgust for the job you do? i feel my brain wasting away when i'm at work. there's nothing to be excited about and everyone, from my co-workers to the clients, looks down on me because i'm "just a receptionist". I ABSOLUTELY HATE IT!!

I love animals....is it some kind of animal hospital

it is. it's an excellent animal hospital, which is why is sucks that i hate what i'm doing there.

JasmineFire said:

Yup! I know what you mean. Be careful that it doesn't begin to effect life outside the office. Now THAT sucks even more!

JasmineFire said:

What state do you work in?

Yes, either change your job... or change your attitude.

~Hugs... but do not remain unfulfilled.

I know how you feel. I landed the job I wanted and I still hate it. I do marketing for a hospital and these people I work with are morans. They are not serious and don't want to work. So I usually spend my days looking for another one also or posting on The Org. Good luck to you. Hopefully things will turn around for you.

i've been trying to change my attitude since i realized that i hate my job but it hasn;t been working. i think that this is mostly because i was told i would be doing a different job when i was hired. i guess the main reason why i hate it is because i feellike i;ve been had. i was promised an awesome job and then stuck with a crappy one.

Don't be hard on yourself..

If you leave this job, just remember that the one you really want is out there waiting for you.

I'm still satisfied with moving. i love living in brooklyn and i love being near all my friends. so at least there are some positives.

JasmineFire said:

cool! hang in there - i'm sure you'll find something wonderful soon!

irresistibleb1tch said:

thank you. i will be trying!

I hated my vet-tech-but-rarely-does-anything-useful-for-animals job too. So I quit.

Now I'm waaaayy poor, but feeling better.

That sucks Jessy

Just get out of there as soon as you can land a better job, dont stay there if you hate it.

I'm sorry to hear this, it's frustrating when you're capable of so much more. I hope it gets better for you soon Jasmine

thanks, lleena. :hugs:

Someone asked me to post this...

How about looking around for another job but at the same time telling your boss why you're so unhappy there, and what you'd like to do instead. Let them know you're more than they think you are and want to do more. If you do it in the right way and are enthusiastic, they should respect you for it (unless, of course, they're assholes).

Whatever happens, good luck ... sounds like you're being pretty proactive and know what you want
