Need insight not validation, if you please...

Should I quit my job?

My boss is stupid, lazy, incompetent and selfish. Normally I work for people who are stupid, lazy, incompetent, selfish AND dishonest and mean. These people are nice. They buy me Red Bulls, and penguin movies and TVs for Christmas. So what if she's going to kill someone from food poisoning? It's their own fault for eating out, right?

What is wrong with me? Why can't i just... deal, like everyone else seems to be able to?

The health department came in today. They should have shut us down, but they're stupid so they gave us a temporary "green" plus a list of stuff to work on in the next two weeks. I have singlehandedly (of course) cleaned the entire kitchen over the last few months. You should have seen the place when I got here. It was disgusting. It's still disgusting, only now slightly less so.

My boss tells me she hopes I feel comfortable with her, because she's going to "crack down" on me in the coming weeks (my words, not hers.) She wants to make sure we pass the health department's inspection. Because she'll lose the business if she doesn't pass. As if that weren't her own drunken fault. As if I hadn't been working for months to get the place cleaned up.

I can quit and get another job, but in all likelihood it will just be more of the same. Like I said, i'm used to working for total creeps. These people are actually nice, apart from their indifferent attitude towards food safety and the responsibilities of their job. The chances are low of finding a equal or better situation somewhere else.

I held four jobs last year, which is on the low end for me. On the other hand... ew!!! What should I do?
Do I contradict myself? Very well, then I contradict myself. I am large, I contain multitudes.

Puh I don't know what I should tell. If you are not happy there, just go. But you have to take this serious decision yourself. Are you sure you will find another job soon, let alone a better one? If so, then just do it. On the other hand, I understand that your boss seems nice. Maybe you should to her about it? I dunno. I have almost no working experience myself. I would love a job where I would be happy, with nice people to hang around but this is the ideal and i am not sure if we can find the deal or perfect job out there... Hope you will do the best for your emotional and also practical interest.
