be happy with my job

Well I am now working in retail and I guess its ok. Its not really something I want to be doing when I am married and have kids. I am going to try and make a list of job openings in my town this week and see if anything pops out at me and actually apply for one this time

I work in a factory called Tecton Products, we make fiberglass window and door frames and parts. Its a high stress environment where I have to work 12 hours a day on concrete in a dusty, itchy, either burning hot or freezing my hands off temp, and work with many people who do not speak english well or at all.

Doesn’t sound like a very fun job huh? Well it does have its upsides, the pay is great, so are the benefits, I have made a lot of friends there and I am very good at what I do, having moved my way up slightly since I started almost a year ago.

Lately I have been extremely stressed out at work, due to a breakup with a co-worker, dealing with some new hires that are impossible to train, and dealing with a boss that seems to have it out for me.

I have been so stressed that I have actually cried a few times at work which just makes me more stressed out because I really don’t want to be seen as that person.

I am going to try to be less stressed at work and find little things each day that make me happy I work there.
