Just need to vent

I just need to get this out somewhere. This has no real point and i am not looking for answers (unless you have a magic one). Why are people dicks? I mean seriously.I seems like people are only interested in their own good and only want to interact with others when needed or when it is going to benefit them somehow. I thought i was PART of a team where i work. Now after yesterday i just feel like I am just here. My boss has purposely nit picked through my work today and left snide comments on it. I even came in today with a FAKE great attitude. I smiled and greeted everyone politely and i have sat quietly and worked diligently at my desk. During the executive morning meeting i cleared my desk completely and only put up 6 pictures in frames of DS. All other personal items are gone. Now maybe this is the norm for some of you but around here we LIVE at our desks. I usually have a collage of pictures going on, a candy bowl with treats, my ear buds plugged in, bath and body hand lotion out, ect. NO one has asked me about it (fine whatever i didn't expect anyone to), but i just want to show their "ideal employee" you know a perfect person without a hair out of place, with a plastered fake smile, who has no personality or life outside of this office.
I guess i am just really hating my job today. I just want to do something in life that makes me proud and happy. Being someones minion is not my idea of that. And whats worse is i make really good money so even if i wanted to leave i would have to take a major hit in pay that right now our lifestyle could not afford...
End of rant.

Sorry.
Is it just your boss that is giving you a hard time, or is it co - workers also?

I couldn't agree more. We all spend so much time at work it should be something we find fulfilling. I have been there myself working for a terrible boss (on more than one occasion) and it sucks to not want to get up in the morning and face it. As a manager I don't get the whole being a dick/asshole approach. Any modern management training program will tell you that. But likely these idiots skipped this training. I like to think I have a much more positive approach and I genuinely care about the folks who work with me. And I respect the team being individuals and have a personality . As a result the team is very highly functioning team. I really would encourage looking for something else, you may be surprised at what else could be out there. Also not sure what field you are in and if there is opportunity for career development but that may be something to consider as well. And other than that, mentally punch them in the the face l).
