Our dept. is run by a co-worker who's pushy & obnoxious and our boss won't stand up to him. Basically, we are told not to upset him by changing anything. Our part-timers are favored over the full-time workers, etc, etc. I won't "suck up" either and just want to have control over my own job. I agree with Melissa's advice: it's time we find our way out of these draining jobs. Good luck! Lori Rita,

So glad you've been able to follow your dream. I can take early retirement in 7 years but may have to work a part-time job to pay for health insurance since I can't actually collect until 62. I'm starting now to read up on what I need to do to make this possible. Blogs like yours are not only helpful but inspirational. Thanks much!! Lori Love this post!

Gratitude, Grace www.citygirlconfidence.com Dear Melissa,

I think you should start working your way into a career you'll love. Something that makes life interesting and fulfilling. I'm not getting either of those words in what you described above. What's your dream job? Any ideas? Hugs, Melissa Hi Rita,

I can't stomach the thought of remaining at my office job for yet another year... it is such a depressing thought. I had such a great time over the Christmas break; my partner and I brought ourselves kayaks and we were out on the water and at the beach everyday; it was so beautiful. I didn't think of my day job once during this time. The day before I was due to go back to work my stomach started going into knots, I started feeling anxious and a general feeling of dread came over me. My boss plays favourites and I am definitely not on his favouirites list. He leaves me alone most of the time - he doesn't really harrass me or anything, but in getting left alone, I sort of feel outside. My co-workers who coo and ooh and ahh whenever he speaks to them seem to be most at ease at work. At the same time, a lot of these same workers complain endlessly about him when he is not around. It is very confusing to me; I wish people would be one way and not so two faced. I just can't find it in me to 'suck up to the boss'. I treat everyone the same regardless of their job title. It is very depressing to me that things, at an otherwise undemanding job where I get to browse the web most of the day whilst simultaneously listening to music and getting paid a good hourly rate for doing so in nice surroundings, are this way. I know in my heart that I have to leave, I just can't stand it anymore.
