Lose the bad attitude about my job

hmm well i just found that i take it too seriously. It is only a weekend/p[art time job and the money is sufficient. Ive made an agreement with my colleagues that i am willing to swap hrs with them so there is no bad attitude about who has more and why etc.
I have also spoken to my managers and asked for compromises regarding my hrs as when i have too many, i don’t have time to do my schoolwork.
just a little bit of communication always helps

... but my attitude is getting marginally better. Maybe it’s because I know there are escape routes. Maybe it’s because I’m doing a reasonable job of keeping my priorities aligned, and remembering that 1) it’s a job, not my life, and 2) the company does not love me. It is merely a corporate entity. Not a person, not a friend, not family – just a corporation.

I’m also trying to hold onto the thought that this is just one job within a big company, and that I can get another job within the big company. Even more, that I need to hold on for the right job. Until it comes along, I’m trying to make the best of the one I’m in, and to do my best work there.

But damn, it’s hard.

My job has been rough the past couple of months. I’m gradually working on my attitude; the job itself isn’t likely to get better, nor am I likely to stay in it indefinitely. It was just a bad fit all around, and it can be remedied. First, though, I want to get to a point where I’m not running FROM a bad situation, but going TO a good one. Not there yet.

I didn’t want to do therapy anymore when I left my last job (therapist at a psychiatric hospital) 2 years ago. I thought it would be better, but no. However, someone has to pay the mortgage and looks like that’s me for now. The money is good and I like most of my coworkers, so I’d like to just suck it up and find a better attitude about going to work every day.
