I was pretty unhappy cleaning oil tanks at a refinery for a year where the average summer temperature is 100+ degrees fahrenheit. I was also pretty unhappy working retail at a big box hardware store and pulling mandatory monthly night-shift while working through college. I can't tell you personally how to not be unhappy. But rather than looking at all the negative why don't you try to find the good things about your job? You're probably making more money than 95% of your peers from high school. You can likely pay bills, put food on the table, etc... I've had a lot of bad jobs over the years but none of them in tech compare to the dozen other non-tech jobs that paid less and worked me harder. I'm married and have 2 children. They give me a reason to get up every day and work hard and look past all the negative little things in the day to day life. Set some goals, look to the future, and try not to worry about what makes you unhappy now. Push through it for a year then find something better knowing that you're making a good financial decision today. And, if you're still really that unhappy and money isn't important long or short term then quit. There are a lot of other worse places just waiting for your resume to hit the desk.
