    I've had the week off and I'm kind of looking forward to going back to work. Never thought this would happen but I realised I actually enjoy my job and being at work. Sucks to be me. I guess it helps that I recently got promoted and I do get a kick out of being able to boss people about, itsa lot of fun :)

    So what about OT? Enjoy your job? Can't wait to get out of there? Not bothered?

    Feel free to bitch and moan (or gloat) about not having one if you must.

    I enjoy one of my jobs, sucks that it pays about 7 dollars less an hour.

    I like my current job better than any others I've had, but I can't say I ever look forward to going to work.

    I love my job. My current position though isnt my favorite, since it doesnt look like i get to go many places. My favorite part of the job is going overseas and those trips look less likely right now.

    No. Delivering mail is boring as hell. My iphone makes it a lot better though. I can listen to music, podcasts or even a PXF training vid to kill the monotony.

    I love my job. I teach English at a College in Korea. 16 hour work weeks, 5 months paid vacation, and my classes are usually 90% female. It's a really tough grind...haha...

    I enjoy my job most days. Working for a mid sized company, i get exposure to a lot of the business (sales, purchasing, quality, distribution, projects, costing, etc) so its seldom boring. I dont travel as much as i used to (which i miss) but the business has changed a lot so you learn to go with the flow.

    I don't enjoy my job at all. Same thing every fuckin day.

    Having to say "mom let me borrow the credit card" is strenuous to say the least.

    What do you do?

    Personally, I love my current job. Product's interesting, new challenges every day, opportunity to learn new technologies and brush up on old skills. I've had gigs I didn't like (most notably in defense), where it was tougher to get up in the morning and go in. So I found other gigs. It's really not that difficult, even in this environment.

    Cant say I hate my job now b/c the lifestyle is sick.. love being my own boss.

    Back in HS tho I LOVED my job. I worked in a hobby shop as an RC repair guy. Pretty much got to race gas powered RC cars in the parking lot all day. Also the store was owned by a young guy and most the employees were HS kids. Never was a dull moment.

    Been grindin sngs for awhile and love it. Alot of people get tired of doing it after awhile and do something else, but I can easily make $300/day playing at a reasonably low level ($7 abi) and i just cant see ever going back to work making less than 1/2 that/day working twice the amount of hours i do now. And there's nothing like just being able to go do w/e you want anytime you want. The freedom is the best thing, plenty of $ being a close 2nd.
