Try to look on the bright side

The job I work at is a pretty good job. It's full-time, pays well, and it's not too far from home. The downside is the people. Daily I am bombarded with swearing and complaining and finger-pointing. There's more drama here than at almost any junior high school.

It ranges from complaints about the weather, complaints about the radio, complaints about too much beer in the fridge and no room to store lunches, complaints about the software, but mostly complaints about one another. Since I share an office with my supervisor, I hear a good amount from her. People not doing their jobs. People not getting this done on time. People constantly skipping work. Etc. Etc. Etc.

I have been working on constantly pointing out the good things in every situation. Or if I can't see the silver lining, I don't say anything at all. But despite looking on the bright side, inside of me I can feel myself getting down and upset and frustrated. By the time I get home I am emotionally spent. Exhausted by the complaints. Ironically, I complain to my husband about my day and the frustrating things I encounter while he sits there patiently listening and ready with a hug the minute I need one.

I definitely feel the strain and tension in the office, but what can I do about it? I've only been here 2 months and certainly don't want to chance finding another job in this economy. The only thing I can do it seems is to maintain a sunny disposition despite the rain clouds all around me.

Any advice you might have would be appreciated.
