The fight for one's soul is never the same as that for the flesh. There is more at stake and it's about more than just survival its about BEING. In my previous article, "Climbing Mt. Everest" I pointed out that its hard to be grateful for a job when the employer makes you feel less than who you know you are. So I helped you rant but the truth of the matter is that jobs let us down only if we define ourselves by them. So your boss is another name for a donkey! So what? Having a bad boss can work for one of us in two ways.
Either it can get us depressed or it can help us rethink our goals and re-strategise our lives and our goals. When there is no fun at work we can look forward to spending more time with loved ones. They will benefit from our eagerness to be with them and our presence. It can never happen that one can become a workaholic at a job they don't enjoy or in a job environment they don't enjoy.
