Use livelier and more poetic language to bring them to everyone's attention. Sharing exuberance is what it really means to be a teacher. Be someone who's exuberant about learning no matter what the circumstances. Light your own fire every day. If not, you're probably making others around you unhappy, too.
Happiness is as important to teachers as it is to every other human being.
Take your happiness seriously. Then be clear and specific, not whiny, about what is making you unhappy. People can be really active and still be wankers. Don't cling to that rule-based prescriptive grammar all the time. Delight in the creative aspects of self-expression.
