You really, really, reeaaaaalllly need to start your own business. Yu will neva eva be happy working for someone else, lol.
It's a shame you shut them out though- I have made some great friends and contacts through my jobs. You have to be nice, if ONLY for networking purposes! If I didn't network my butt off I wouldn't have my current job.
ETA: This fostering of goodwill is especially important in non-profits. It's like working for a little family in my experience.

Y'all might think this is crazy, but ever since the movie The Firm, I've been real careful about how I interact with co-workers. And they HATE it. They want you to come to potlucks and happy hours and baby showers and all that. Nah, man, I'm cool on all that. So I would've never ended up at the restaurant in the first place. Sometimes you have to explain that you come to work to get a check, not to make friends. They always wanna be friends. "Buddy-buddy-buddy all up in ya face." Naw.
