Have a few kids
Now, I know that's a sarcastic remark, but what I'm really trying to convey is that it's often a matter of the 4 P's - Patience, Priorities, Perception and Focus (round off the front of the F).
Once I had kids (15 years ago to start), I realized that I had to turn my life over to suppressing a lot of my desires to their needs. I learned that I often had to wait for the "me" time. Work life often took a back seat.
Priorities come into play when you learn that there are only a finite number of irons you can have in the fire. Do what you can, but don't allow others' behavior affect the things you can control.
Try to view yourself from the perspective of your coworkers. Listen to what comes out of your mouth and think how it impacts others.
Finally, focus on the good points before concentrating on what needs to be fixed. It'll help you to remember that it could be worse.
It took a healthy dose of dope slaps before I got off the piss-em-off express, but look at me now!
