I'm venting today because I felt so unappreciated at work, I wished I had my purse at lunch so I wouldn't have to come back today, ever.

I've been in the same field since I was 21 (36 now) and each come I back I think assume things will get better. The field I work in there is not much room to move and the advancement is level is about a 3...5, if you're lucky or "know people". I've worked in law firms in conjunction with a separate company, so I guess you can say I'm office support. The secretaries act like they're so above us and the lawyers are moody, at best. Just today, one of the secretaries approached me after I spoke to a lawyer and corrected me on how to pronounce his name as if there is really a difference between "Swanson and SwanSEN?" I wanted nothing more than to politely tell her to shove it up her ass and proceed to call it a day, and believe me, they're pettier than that.

It's the point where my work is affecting my attitude and my life. I feel stuck because this is basically the only job experience I have on my resume and I feel like whenever I try to go for something different, no matter how amazing my interview was, I of course am looked over. I'm tired of reading the books and the blogs because it's gets overwhelming.

I dislike my position because it's bad enough I'm struggling to get by with each passing day and with every paycheck. But, I know I must be grateful I have a job to begin with. Times I like this, I wish I had a benefactor......or a fairy godmother.

Does anyone else feel like this? I know I'm not the only one.
Ugh.

If you are that unhappy there, for your own peace of mind you should leave. You could work for a temp agency, they could keep you busy and you'd get more work experience. I'm sure you aren't alone in feeling as you do. Keep a positive attitude that there is something better "out there"

I'm going forth and doing that, I am taking the first steps today and making it happen. I walked in to work today and all I wanted to do was turn right back around and go home. I'm over it. I'm ready for a serious change, I cannot take it anymore.
