How do you find the mental fortitude to keep doing a job you don’t quite like due to the coworkers while you look for a new one even if you don’t know you are sure you’re going to quit?

One thing that sometimes works is when they start up the bullshit and drama, hit them with the old “you guys obviously don’t have enough work to do if you have time for this kind of nonsense” and variations of that. It won’t make you popular with those types of people, but they aren’t ever going to like you anyway. So you might as well get them to leave you alone. It also happens to be true. Like you said, they are wasting everyone’s time.
And always keep coworkers on a low information diet as far as your personal shit goes. It’s OK to have a friend at work, even a trusted friend. That’s a good thing. But 99% of coworkers are not your friend and never will be. And at least half of them want to make you look bad, because they think it makes them look better.
