I work in one.  Your friend is overly sensitive.  People are jerks everywhere you go and people are nice everywhere you go.  Law practice can be stressful and lawyers do vent sometimes.  Personally, I really like the professional enviroment.  I'm only here 35 hours a week and the rest of my life is the part that counts.  I'm just here for the paycheck and at 5:00, I leave the office and don't give it another second's thought.

Yes.  I found other employment.  Sometimes you just don't "click" with your co-workers/bosses/etc.  Personalities clash.   I've never been able to work in that sort of environment, so i found a job that i could work in.

I started my job in November and was in exactly the same situation as you.  I was sort of laid back and quiet and everyone there knew each other and had like you said established camaraderie, it took about two weeks before people generally remembered my name and even would include me in conversation.  But before I knew it I was the one people centered around and was invited to go out with the "guys" afterwards only because I didn't try to throw myself on them, I let them warm up to me.  If you're not the most outgoing person then work that casual, cool and confident angle with people.  Do NOT bring doughnuts in or be cheezy about the ordeal then you're just crying for social interaction.  In a nutshell I hate to use the "cliche" be yourself...but there is much truth to that...Be yourself but do it with confidence.

All jobs tend to have busy periods and slow periods, just some have more than others. You may find a slower pace at a retail store or at a grocery store.

No I don't think so. I think it is perfectly normal to want to seek someone who you can connect with. Life is very busy, with work, school, or kids, people don't have the time to invest in hoping to meet the right one at the grocery store. Is that more dignified? \nThe only thing you meet at bars is drunks.\nGood for you for  being proactive in  being  involved in your own destiny. He/she is not knocking at the door so why not go for it. You may come across a few lumps of coal but hopefully their is one diamond in the rough out there. Do what is right for you.

I like it.\n\nI have all day off while people who work days have to scramble in the last few hours of the business day to fit in a doctor's appointment or go to the bank or such with business hours.\n\nMovies, stores, parks... All MINE!

I can relate. I can rarely find anyone who is truly appealing to me. Most the people I encounter are people that I don't care enough for to truly call them my friend. I'm with you - it doesn't much bother me. I went through a time when my social life was everything, but looking back it was not fulfilling. I have better things to do with my time than pacify my friends needs. I think some people just prefer solitary lifes.

I worked nights for 3 years and I learned that it was best to just live life that way. Make sure you have a "normal" routine just like you would working days. And keep that routine on your days off if at all possible. That is what I eventually had to start doing because it's too hard trying to get your body & mind adjusted to a 1st shift schedule for just a couple days a week. You are probably just not a 3rd shift person and it's really affecting you emotionally. I understand what you're saying about not being able to switch to days right now. Just work on a routine & make the best you can of it until you can get back on a day shift.

Nothing serious, unless she was into barely seeing you. Im a really busy person too and I think that a full time boyfriend just wouldn't work for me. \n\nKeep in mind that you need a day of rest too, sometimes its nice to just relax and do nothing for a change one your one day of freedom from your hectic schedual.

Having a busy life does not always mean a fullfilling life. I find sometimes less is more.

Yes in deed.... You are focused on the negatives here... Lots of people work nights so that I don't think is the problem.  Get involved in a group in your town of some kind or volunteer.  Quit looking for love, it will find you!  When you least expect it and at the place you would never look.  Get up and get going time is a wasting... Write down a list of all the things  you like to do and start from that as far as find people to socialize with.  Also if you go to church look in your sunday school dept.  Remember women lead  you to women!   So get moving!  wont be long  till your question will be " I don't have enough time for all my friends and work, what do I do?

I like to meet people that are busy....you know, working somewhere. For instance, the grocery store, post office, gas station, etc. The obvious places also are clubs, bars, etc. the important thing after breaking up is to get out! Don't sit home, alone, and crying! Good Luck!!

24 hours a day 7 days a week. Your ..... are gonna fall out if you are not careful. You do not have to let them hang out to get a man; or do you?
