How much is too much?

I dislike my job.  That is not new news to anyone who has read this blog before.  I dislike my 'clients' more or less, we have our good moments, but most days I am disgruntled towards each one at some point.  I dislike my 'company', and well there is Lord Voldemort lording over us all.

However I do like some of my co-workers.
My team mates are some of the funniest people I have ever met and each have very distinct personalities.  And some of my down the hall neighbors are hilarious.

That one fact I know is not enough to stay at a job.  I have done my research and have found a new one.  I just have to do this one until my contract is fulfilled.

Seeing though that I have found and new one and the silver lining it sitting there and waiting for me - Do I have the right to complain about work?

To some degree I think yes.  When someone asks me "How was work?" do I lie and say peachy keen or do I give them the real goods.  I usually play the middle of the road.  Sugar coat the outlook a bit and get on with it.  As do they really want to know I count the minutes of every day in intervals of five?  I constantly say to myself - 5 more minutes - I can do five more minutes.  I think the other K teacher does hers in one minute intervals.  Some days it is nice to know I'm not alone in personal torture chamber.  And no I don't want to hear the old cliche - What doesn't kill only makes us stronger - well I'm worn out and sick and tired.

4. My hair is one of a kind curly mass of dark brownness - no one could attempt to use my id.
5. If at first you don't succeed decide if it is worth trying again.
