Just Started New Job & Already Hate It

Dear Experts, I started a new job two weeks ago and I already have a bad feeling about it. I don't like my boss and I don't like the people I work with. I can't leave because I had a hard enough time landing this job as it is. What advice do you have for coping with this sort of situation?

(@DebraWheatman) Q#221 Same thing happened to me a few years ago and it's tough. I coped by re-doubling my job-search efforts after hours. (@gradversity) Q#221 Attitude plays big part.
