I'm really confused...

I don't know what the hell is wrong with me. I quit my last (real) job in May and ever since then,
have not found anything I'm happy with. I just feel like all the people at my last job *other than the psycho owner* and I got along so well, all the other jobs I have worked at recently.. it's just not the same. So, this is what I keep asking myself: should I try to go back to my old job, or get over it and move on? maybe I should try to work at a different location this time around? I feel like I keep running in circles with what I want to do. (I quit because the owner gave me a raise, then he started being really hard on me. One day, he'd tell me my shirt was wrinkled, the next day my hair was "not nice looking", etc. etc. and he'd say this in front of the whole staff and eventually I'd had enough abuse)
Whenever I call my last job, no matter who answers the phone, they say "are you coming back!? you shouldn't of ever left!" All the decent paying jobs in this area.. they either don't want to hire me, because I lack experience in one or more areas, I work there for several days and things don't work-out, or they aren't willing to pay me enough. Maybe I'm just not applying at the right stores..? What can solve my problems? maybe a nice hot fudge sundae! :)

At least you have a safety net

Finding a job that works is so tough. I would apply at stores I would shop at. Good co-workers are a denfinite plus at work.

consider going back?

it sounds like you liked your last job, except for the boss.

could it be that he just needs a few words? maybe its his sense of humor that comes across as insults, and only he "gets".

think about going back, but it would take a little bit of work dealing with the boss.

Dream jobs don't exist

Trust me theres no dream job out there. Theres always something that will suck, be bullshit, have a shit coworker or supervisor. Its just how things are and thats coming from a recovering optimist. Try to go back to the old job and suck it up. Hell you might even get a raise for going back if they actually valued your work.
