Patience is a virtue.... I guess I'm just not very virtuous

So supposedly good things come to those who wait, right? That's how the story goes at least (or proverb or moral or whatever). So where the hell are my good things? And AJ doesn't get to count anymore because I've had him for 14 months and now so I deserve a new good thing! Like a job that doesn't make me completely miserable. Seriously, I have been battling it out with myself for whether or not I might as well just put in my two weeks now and then light a fire under my ass to get any new job I can find that's actually in my area or at least something that's worth traveling for. Today while I was bored as hell at work I made a Pros and Cons list of whether or not I should stick it out at the Berg or just quit. Here is what I came up with:

Pros (for sticking it out):                                       

1- A regular paycheck (though it really isn't that regular because I don't get paid that well and the hours are horrible)                                     
2- There are some sort of cool people that I work with (sort of)

Cons (AKA the Pros in favor of quiting):
1- Getting harassed and disrespected by coworkers and managers
2- I'm super stressed out all the time because:
3- The Berg has not great pay and
4- Really shitty hours which makes it so
5- I never get to see any friends (or AJ)
6- Which brings me back to stress which
7- Is making me sick all the time
8- (Though that is also in part due to the wierd temperature of the Berghoff and all of the dust and mold that they do not clean)
9- Not to mention it's exhausting
10- Which doesn't help my knee problems
11- And really boring a lot of the time
12- It doesn't contribute to any sort of future plans
13- The owners and managers don't run it well and
14- They also don't give a crap about any of their employees (see #1)
15- I have to deal with Raul (also see #1)
16- And finally, getting there sucks when the pay, hours and stress level created by the job are so not worth the $2.25 fare

So what do I do? Does money really outweigh my basic human needs? HELP?!?!
