hi,
i have got the worst job ever and dont know how to get out!
um the thing is i work in this back street shitty paying insurance company, my boss well she is a fucking bitch.
the thing is when i came for the interview they offered me prospects such as becoming a sort of PR bla bla and the rest and it doesnt look like its swinging that way, im stuck in a dead end job with absolutely shite pay for my age and it may be easy to get another job (or not) but wot would i say cos ive only been here since april?
and i have a yearly travelcard and im so unhappy that i cry, i cry over a fucking job and im sick to death of it!
sorry if ive bored u im just sick of this shit!

OK I have a couple of ideas, the first is to talk to your boss about your prospects within the company, explain that you don't feel you are being used to your best potential and find out if the situation can change. Ask about training courses etc. To suitably arm you for this, read these: http://www.thesite.org.uk//careers/work/motivation_and_positive_thinking.html http://www.thesite.org.uk//careers/work/assertiveness_in_the_office.html http://www.thesite.org/careers/work/what_is_bullying.html
Alternatively you could quit, especially if you are as unhappy as you say. Some useful articles on what to do next here:

http://www.thesite.org/careers/job/moving_on_up.html
As for the issue of only being there since April, that shouldn't matter for your next job, you could explain that when you had been offered the job you were expecting to have a more varied role and a chance to move into PR, that after 9 months there you felt these promises had not been kept. That is perfectly acceptable for future employers.
Good Luck
