I'd Like A New Career, Please...

[Tinseltown]

My job sucks. I hate it. And I have to reapply for it, to add insult to injury. I've been shunted from site to site, was bullied out of one place and am now subject to obsessive, punitive surveillance from my plain, fat supervisor who likes nothing better than to point out the odd 2.7 minutes during my working day when my hands weren't tied to the database. No-one else gets this, so whilst I'm sure I'm calling it in, I'd also like it very much if it would feck off and be replaced by something which I

a/ enjoy
b/ am good at
c/ earn at least twice my current salary from.

Aside from the obvious question of 'what do I pick?' how (the hell) do I start thinking positive thoughts towards my current job, employer and supervisor, all of which I hate, get angry over and have been known to take a 10 minute break (obviously audited, <yawn>) to have an angry sob in the toilets (no, not a euphemism).

When something and/or someone makes you feel angry and incapable, how can I start to get back to basics (on the job front)? Meditation, etc, these are nice things, but at the moment, the thought of thinking of my supervisor's plump, owlish face calling me to task over using the loo more than once in 3 days while reciting, 'I love you, please forgive me,' feels akin to insanity.

Cheers

I don't think you have to convince yourself that you love your supervisor if she brings you out in a rash. it's counterproductive, IMO (said as someone who raised in a household where I was never allowed to say or think anything negative about anyone - it didn't stop the feelings, it just squashed them down and gave them more power).

You might be able to find some positive things that are truthful (ie, it pays the rent; maybe you are good at it?; maybe there are a few people that you like?) rather than pretending that you love things that you don't.

You can also concentrate your positive energies on finding a new job. I've done this, and I always move into a better job, even when I've hated the previous one

ps - actually, once I even quit a job before I'd found a new one (which is completely unlike me - but I was so stressed, it had become a matter of putting my health first) - and two weeks later I got a job that paid 25% more and was much lower stress

Believe that you will find a new job that is suited to you, and believe that you are worthy of this, and it will come

Hi Tinseltown,

Right now what you are feeling is angry which is okay. There should be a time to let it all out. People say that I am a complete bitch when angry.

But lets think it this way, what do you feel when you think about your boss? Angry
What do you feel when you talk to a very good friend? happy, peace.

LOA has everything to do with NOW. What you feel now? Angry. Does it do anything to the person you are angry upon? Maybe. But he may be attracting a lot of good things thinking good thoughts. So the net effect of your anger? Maybe bad impact on your general well-being?

Lets focus on what you want--

1)Something that you enjoy?
What do you enjoy? Do it now.

2) Something that you are good at?
What are you good at? Do it now.

3)Earn twice of what you are getting?
Open up. You may even get thrice the amount. I quit a job with complete faith in the universe and I got a job with thrice the amount i was getting previously and recently it again increased by 17%. 

Do anything to feel happy now, at every moment. That is what is going to bring you what you want and not your anger.

Let us know how it goes on. Say it aloud to the Universe that you have complete faith on it that it will give you what you want and let it go.

Best regards,
Shrikanya

This is something that I always say to my friends. We are more powerful than we think we are and sometimes we do such miracles that we even shock ourselves and everyone around us.

I think that's probably the best way to go about it.

I know a few years back I was in a job I hated and uh...on my last day there I did leave with a bit of drama. I really really couldn't stand that job and there were days I wanted to just walk out. Towards the end it got a little bit more tolerable because I started focusing on my way out and the job became (in my mind) something that was helping me and not something that I was dependent on. So I agree that focusing on finding a new job is helpful.  Still had moments where I hated it, but at least it became bearable.
