Dolfin,
Don't give up on finding something better, these people are cold for a reason, they're unhappy. You're above that.
Myself, i'm taking another trip to Grand Rapids this weekend and gonna stay there for a few days to check out the job situations there. I know they have more work over there and it'll be nice for a new start and a nice change. Have you thought about relocating and starting fresh?
I don't see moving away as "running away" from problems, but if i'm gonna have problems. i wanna do it somewhere with more work and a fresh start for myself. Maybe discover who i really am. When you go into work Dolfin, think of it like this "this is only temporary" and that these people have NO significance on your life. You owe them nothing and you're not obligated to be friends with them, just to do your job and find something better. Keep the strength Dolfin, once you find something better or have a game plan, it'll be over and only thing you'll want from that job is a recommendation for the next job.

Klauss
