I assume ur tired of contact/conflict with jane and john doe... dealing with john q public is not very fun... the thing to remember is not to let the bastards get u down... who cares what some loser who ruined his own stuff thinks about you, as long as he comes back as a customer ur doing ur job... ALL GOOD THINGS MUST COME TO AN END and that means the current assignment ur on, even if u liked ur job at some point u will move on.. just do the best u can with what u got and keep the issues real and don't let the average idiot bring u down

Start looking now. Your job is what you spend most of your waking hours doing, and If it's not making you happy, don't punish yourself. Sure it might get better, but you've got to be happy.

the only way to stop feeling like you want to get back with him is to realise all the reasons you haven't worked in the past. Write a list of everything that split you up and then study it. Then ask your self if the only reason you want to get back with him is because it's better than being alone. Which in the long run it isn't.

I have never received an apology from an employer after he or she had hurt my feelings.  \n\nTake that as a positive, and go back to work.  You are not the first, and won't be the last, to cry at work.\n\nAssuming you are a female, welcome to the world of hormones.

You are going to have to create your escape plan. Start building a bridge to get out. While your doing it, do something you like to do after work and do it.Your happiness is more important than putting up with people that don't care and are stuck abusing you!

Then, try to find a job that makes you happier.\nAnd keep thinking you´ll do better in the future while you´re trying to find a new, better one.

Unless it is extremely over the top or all the time let it go.  You are at work and you need to leave your feelings at home.  People do things intentionally all the time that step on other peoples toes.  You just have to let it slide.  Save your feelings for your personal life.  Maybe your boss was just having a bad day or you pushed one of his buttons(we all have them).  If that is the case you could just make the situation worse, and if your boss is a jerk he really won't give a flying flip that your feelings were hurt.  Remember he, or maybe she, is the boss and you will be the one to lose a conflict and are more replaceable than someone higher up on the food chain.\nOh and if you boss is a jerk start looking for another job.

Take a look at what you appreciated in a manager when you were their employee. Look to your boss as an example. Stay focused and organized,dont double talk,stay approachable and dont give up learning...\nCongratulations!

You Truly have a real problem.  I worked around a situation similar to yours.  The boss favored a young lady in every way.  She received nothing but praise, all awards and the easiest jobs.  When he finally got it through his head, that she loved her husband and didn't want him,he changed.  They say the deepest love can turn into the greatest hate.  that saying is very true.  It got so bad that they had to separate them.  You need to explain to him what you want out of life, and that you are committed to someone (create a person) try to be kind, but watch this situation carefully. If it continues then go to the next in charge and explain the situation.  \n\nGood Luck\n\nNote the situation that I mentioned all most came to blows.

It sounds to me that you could be smothering him.  Give him some rope.  Meanwhile, you need some hobbies and girl friends to spend your time with.  That way, you can come back home and be lovey because both would have had other things to add to the relationship and conversations.  Do some things you may be interested in doing.  He should not be your only interest.  Please do not smother him.  Your happiness does not warrant itself based on his being around you all the time.  Thank GOD for the work week so that I can see other people without explaining where I've been all the time.  By you just being one tracked, you are digging yourself deeper in a depressive state of mind by making him your ONLY happiness.\n\nI hope that you can open your eyes to understand this.  I sincerely hope that I was the lightbulb to your saga.  Happiness begins with your self and definitely no one else should be able to control your emotions that they can't feel.

Call the office and ask. Or speak to someone that you had a good relationship with, like a receptionist or a boss. Good luck!

only you can make the changes that you desire in your life...everyone is special and so are you..Open up to others(your co-workers, etc.) and you will probably find some responding back to you with sincere compatibility and friendship...make one little step with one person and then another. good luck to you. Life is meant to be lived with others. Enjoy your life and enjoy the company of others. PEACE

You should just be very honest. Tell her that it was a wonderful job and that you would love to be back on board.

Get focused.  Write down your goals and acheive them, get on the fast track to better position within the organization (let people know about your intentions).  Make a plan for success.  Talk to your supervisor or boss and ask them to challenge you more.  If you enjoyed what you do a year or so ago there is no reason why you shouldn't still enjoy it.  If you are well paid and you like your co-workers and you are able to build long term savings don't sweat it.  Enjoy it while it lasts.  \n\nIf you are still unhappy after all of this start a job search and read "What Color is My Parachute"

Life is too short, I know people say that a lot but it's true.  This isn't a dress-rehearsal, it's the real thing - do what makes you feel good about yourself.  Spending all day in a job you hate isn't much of a life in my opinion.  If you leave, something better will come along - have faith in yourself!

A smile and a touch of humor can go a long way to improve communication and understanding, especially if you have a good rapport with your boss.  Start by just trying to establish more friendly and open communications in general.  Then after things feel comfortable, you might gently ask the question, "I was just wondering if you are happy with my work, or if there are ways I can improve how I prioritize my time here?"  It could be that the well-intentioned little things you do are things she does not consider necessary, so the path to gratitude might be to focus that time and energy on something that is important to HER.\n\nIt sounds like you are a well-meaning person with a good work ethic, so you have a good chance to reach a better level of understanding with your boss.  She just needs to know that you are on her side and sincerely want to spend your time helping her succeed, so she doesn't feel threatened or challenged.

I've done the same and was glad I did. Your  work life is a huge chunk of your week. Better to be in something you love than in something you would not be as happy with. Money is only money. Happiness can't be bought.
