Work, happily

It's a good thing to be doing something, but it's a better thing to be doing something for people you like. At work, especially, the people who you would be doing things for aren't always gonna be the most worthy of your service. Don't get me wrong, you would still complete your job, but how much satisfaction would you get out from it? Of course, when you can't control the person you work for, that usually means it is also out of the question to talk about it with anyone at work. Most of your potential listeners would have been seasoned, trying to get a piglet airborne will be easier than have one of them agree on your complains.

Not to say that you are alone on facing this, at least not during office hour and in the office. I hope your world doesn't just consist of your colleagues and your boss. You should still have people to talk to outside during non-office hour, they probably will do a better job than your co-workers. Well, what if the people you meet at office are your world? Can you know beforehand that if these people are worth your time?

Unfortunately, I doubt there is a fool-proof way to tell it, you really have got to be part of them before their true faces are unveiled. I also don't encourage you to follow the " if you can't beat them, join them." strategy, being part of them will only make things worst for the next person.

The best solution, in my opinion, is choose another job, and never ever surrender yourself to one if you find no pleasure in your work.
