"Ho! Ho! Ho! It's off to work I go..."

Have you ever had a "I hate my job" kind of day? Due to circumstances seemingly beyond my control, I've had a few of those lately. Though what is the solution? There's praying that God will help me to change my attitude and outlook. There's daydreaming of the perfect job while at your current job, which inevetiably is interupted all too soon by a customer or fellow employee. There's job hunting on the internet, which we have recently been banned from doing while at work (oops!), and I always seem to be either too tired or busy to do this in the evenings, or get otherwise distracted while on the computer (this post for instance). Then there's the realization that doing what I want to do either requires more ($$$) education or doesn't pay enough to cover my bills. So another day goes by, I go back to work in the morning, and the whole routine begins again.
I have come up with a few remedies. Tell me what you think or add to my list.
Keep praying (obviously).
Find a part-time "I hate my job" kind of deal to see if I can save enough to finish college...
Marry a moderately rich young bachelor. (my personal favorite)
Join the mysterious world of Mystery Shoppers to aid in the finishing college bit.
Keep trying to convince myself that I'll like my job better once I've been there for a full year.
And that's as far as I've gotten.

Looking forward to your input.

Hmmm... been there, done that (I mean the "hate my job" kind of days). A few words of encouragement: 1) It won't always be like it is today. God always has something better than today in store for His children, whether today be good or bad. 2) Do aim towards finishing your degree. "and Joshua left nothing undone..."(Joshua 11:15) 3) If I meet a rich young bachelor (who is also otherwise qualified), I'll mention your name...
