i hate my job so much that the word hate does not even really do the feeling i have justice. i get headaches at work. i cry. i can literally feel a tightness in my breathing. my hate of this job has moved beyond an emotion and into some form of physical manifestation.
regardless, i am stuck here.
no one else will hire me.
in the last two years, i have sent application materials to some 500+ job postings. the worst part is that i am in no way exaggerating that number.
from those 500 or so, four (yes, as in 4) companies have asked me for an interview.
from those four (yes, as in 4) interviews, i have received two (yes, as in 2) offers.
the other job was selling insurance in new york (no, not as in new york city).
no one will hire me.
and i don't understand why. i went to a good school. i have a good set of degrees. i have interesting degrees. i was in a good program. i was great in the good program. i graduated with honors. i was highly involved and have great experience. i have experience not everyone has. i'm smart. i'm funny. i'm not horrible looking. i'm good at what i do. but no one will hire me.... hell, no one will even interview then decide they don't want to hire me.
most of all, though, i don't like how much of my energy is taken up trying to escape this job. it's all i think about. it's all i talk about. it's all i do... more or less speaking (i mean, i still pee and eat and watch tv and do other normal human things, but when i'm not being human, i'm being the guy-who-can't-stop-hating-his-job). i don't like that for my roommate all her time with me has to be me talking about how i hate my job. i don't like that for my boyfriend, all our talks inevitably reach a point where i'm bitching about work. i do not like this job.
...but no one else will hire me.

jeez, brett - that sucks - it's the worst feeling being trapped in a job you hate with no forseeable escape
