Fortunately I'm only really forced to deal with my coworkers for 2 and a half to 3 hrs. a day. I can more or less escape the public for most of the rest of the day. My job is pretty secure, but I'm really tired of the stereotype that goes with it (not the going postal stuff which actually doesn't bother me) and I find myself doing other, somehat self destructive things to feel better about myself. Not drugs or whatever... it's hard to explain. So I try to be thankful for what I have, but it's hard. And i have completely stopped hanging out with my coworkers, which is kinda sad. Except for a hockey game or two...that's it. I try to use my hobbies to feel better, hopefully they will be profitable, if not financially, but as social capital or whatever you call it.
