I just started a new job this past week and I hate it already. I mean really hate it. Is it normal to hate a job that soon?

Azura Skye said:So, what do you do with a job you hate within a week? Actually, I hated it within a few hours but I stuck it out to see if my feelings would change. They didn't.

That's a constant state of being, for a writer, BF. It's always a struggle to keep it in balance.now I'm thinking I may have to quit that one too because I find myself constantly struggling with my internal editor.
That's the only thing he IS allowed to get on your back for.If he gets on my back one more time for not showing up to write when I'm supposed to....

If you can afford to quit, do so.
btw...there's no shame in leaving a job you hate, for a job you like better.
Azura Skye said:Thanks for the replies. I called in this morning and told them I wasn't coming back. The training period for this job is long and intensive so I thought I should do it early instead of waiting before they let me work on my own. I apologized profusely because I really do feel badly for doing this; however, I feel good with the decision. I don't like being unemployed yet again but the sense of peace I have is worth it.
This is only the third time I've done this in my life. Somehow you just know, at least I do. If it sucks early on it's safe to say it probably won't get better.
