| | From Jen Hubley, your About Today Editor In the bad old days before I got to write newsletters for a living, I had some truly terrible jobs. Some of them involved food service, at which I was unskilled, and others were stultifying office jobs where I could just feel my IQ points leak out my ear. All of these jobs had one thing in common: They made me hate Mondays more than Garfield the cat. | | I Hate My Job. What Should I Do? My coping mechanism in those days was to whine, loudly, to anyone who would listen. (And even some people who wouldn't. If you stood still, you were fair game as far as I was concerned.) | How to Love the Job You Have At one point during all of this, my Mom suggested I seek wisdom from oldies songs. "Love the one you're with," she advised. | How to Meditate But maybe you don't hate your job. Maybe your problem is that you're too wound up over certain aspects of it. In that case, learning how to live in the present might be helpful. (And, of course, if you figure that out, please tell me how you did it.) | Make Your Hobby Into a Career "If you do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life." I put that in quotes, see, so that you can get the benefit out of it without blaming me for being preachy. | | | | Today Ads | | | | Featured Articles | | | | More from About.com | | | | | | Plan a Unique Vegas Wedding The minister, music and champagne are just the beginning -- why not get married aboard a helicopter or have a pirate swing in to deliver your rings?
