Question Do you enjoy your job?

Had a pretty ****house day today

So i thought i would ask the question, what do you do for a living and are you happy with it? What would you like to see change?

I enjoy my work. I started just over a year ago, more money less responsibility to where i used to work, but to be honest I am bored ****less now!! lol I actually miss having 10 fingers in 10 pies so to speak.

It doesn't help that the work itself has slowed, a very quiet start to the year, which is why I'll stay put till it picks up.

I can understand that you have good days and bad ones, but as long as the good out weigh the bad, by a high percentage, you'll get through it.

I can work from home (or pretty much anywhere I want) whenever I feel like it pretty much.

I'm paid a decent salary for working with, and supporting, technology (biometrics) that I love.

Work supplies me with a laptop, blackberry, top private health insurance, parking and meals re-imbursment, and soon they'll re-imburse all my fuel (instead of a pay rise).

Plus we work out of a serviced office with awesome views of the mountains west of Canberra (when I'm in the office). I get to travel to Dublin, Washington D.C., Tokyo, Wellington and soon a few cities in Europe business class...

I get unlimited fully paid rec leave (within reason and provided all my work is done) and unlimited fully paid sick leave.

So I think it's safe to say I LOVE my job

hmm I work for Porsche and Aston Martin and Sydneys only Bentley and Rolls Royce dealer ... in a way I cant complain! Although most of my day is made up dealing with BMW, Honda, Jaguar, Peugeot, Range Rover and a few others.

Part of the fun working for a multi franchise dealership I suppose!! The track days are good tho, especially Porsche and Aston days at Eastern Creek! You try to tell me a GT3 Carerra isnt fun ;P

I just started my job as an Electrical Engineer in February and I am loving it. I deal with industrial applications and its really challenging, which makes it exciting most of the time. After being a student for 4 years its a big step up in the financial area and its definately what I want to do. I have even started dabbling in project management which is pretty exciting too.

I love being a site based engineer as I work in an office but I get the change to get my hands dirty too!

I guess the only thing I miss is being 6 hours away from my girlfriend so I would I like to be back with her and do the same job, then life would be perfect.

I work as a carer, as horrid as it sounds to some, it is a very rewarding job and yes I do enjoy it. I work 500 meters down the road, takes me 1 hour a night to get the bloke into bed, and I am paid well.

Yeah ok, dealing with assholes and di*ks..... well isn't that what most people do too?

And well I'm a housewife/mum during the day and no wouldn't change that either.

plasterer.. although i cant complain too much i sometimes hate it. the best part is the contract rates but that is also the bad part. when the work is going full on i can make anywhere between 600 and 1000 a day but on the other end of the scale i have gone 2 or 3 weeks without pay. basiclly, you take the good with the bad. fortunatly there is heaps of work on at the moment and when it picks up to full pace i should be able to make 2300 working a 4 day week
