Good Workday?

Is there such thing as a good workday? To my knowledge and little experience, I don't believe there is, at least for an entry analyst who can never seem to get credit when it is due. I'm not sure about everyone else, and I know that someone has to have been in the same spot as me (first job, hate it, no good mentors).

Anyhow I'm not quite sure how to put it lightly, but I hate my job. My "team leader" is anything but as they never show up on time, never are in a good mood, and never are willing to help with anything. Sorry, but isn't the point of TL to be all of the above, especially willing to help and teach. So far, what I have learned on the job is due to my own efforts and reaching out to teammates who, I feel share my feelings, aren't responsible for teaching. I'm glad I have a few people I can learn from, but at the same time, understand that my career track could ultimately suffer because of the knowledge I haven't been able to acquire quick enough.

Enough with the complaining, I'm way too positive to be brought down by this situation. Thankfully it will only be temporary, hopefully shorter the better. Days that aren't great, can quickly be turned with a great tune on the commute home. Jay Z's "My 1st Song" is always a mood changer, and I recommend it on a Friday afternoon. The lyrics are great and if when I listen to them, I understand I'll have to go through a lot to get to where I want to be, but I just know that there's something else out there that I could be doing that would make me happy too.

Hope to bring some good news about work some point soon, maybe it will be me quitting and finding a new one though!
