work boredom suicide conundrum

I have a problem like the title of this thread, work is evil and bores me so much that suicide seems like the path to ecstasy! How can i get around this? Anyone else found the escape route?

 

Maybe it's time for a job change? Or if you can, take some time off.

 

Considering a job change, though I don't think it will help. I work in a library at the moment, it's not so much the job that gets me down, the people here are not nice, selfish, vindictive, collected together in little cliques. Naturally, my true desire is freedom, to do the things that are good and that ease my soul. I fear I want the impossible, in this world at least. :$

 

I'm in the same situation. The politics of my working life are many and varied and drive me to distraction!!
The way I have kept myself sane (apart from looking for similar jobs elsewhere to feel like I have a little more control) is to keep the hell away from the politics. Let them confuse little circles around each other and try to keep your head down and enjoy the work and ignore the crap.

 

Yeah seems like you need a lifestyle change. I guess we get trapped in these patterns because working is the only way we can make any money, but specialisation and division of labour can leave our chosen job rather routine and monotonous. If you want a drastic change, quit your job, get another, more interesting one, even if it pays less....

 

Thanks for the advice and support, will have to try another job i think, can't see this place suddenly being restaffed with nice people. Money is not an issue in one sense, I have no inherent desire to be wealthy, however, I live in a house and have to pay rent and buy stuff in order to survive. Halfway through the day already! Thanks again.

 

ugh rent paying meep! that scares me lots i found myself a place to rent in cardiff yesterday for uni. i just wanted to run away, it's all so.....yeah i get what you mean vorticez....work is evil...unless of course one gets a fun job...

 

Don't be scared Lozi, rent is just one of the many ways your meagre funds will be depleted! I went to Uni in wales too, Aberystwyth though not Cardiff, Uni rocks, most fun! A fun job would be very cool, bad job just get me down.

 

Maybe if you're tied to your job because of responsibilities, you could make the most of the time you're not stuck in work, you know, give yourself something to really look forward to outside of work. A new hobby or something

 

Ooo I love Aber

Yeh, when work get's you down it tends to seep into the rest of your life too... well that's what I've found.

You spend so much time there that when people are nasty it can really wind you... quite literally in my case, as I had a box thrown at me :&

I did my work experience at a library, really enjoyed it... shame that the people you work with are making it such a nightmare for you.

I hope things work out for you, I'm struggling myself at the moment so know ho horrible it can feel.

Chin up, theres always the weekend

Love Clairexxx

 

I enjoy surreptitious masturbation in the workplace

It is just a mid mid life crisis..don't worry about it.

 

They all know about it Jon.. they just keep it a secret from you.

 

I love the look on people's faces when they try a cup of coffee with "special" cream added:X

 

i liked it

soya wasn't it?.... cream de soya?

Oh.... hang on

 

What do you think i give my boss every other morning ?.. 'matthews special coffee' :X

 

Man milk ... when you've tried it you never go back

 

I think we should all get 'blueberrys' we would never be bored at work again..possibly maybe ok it seems like a nice idea.

 

i...... HATE.... you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
