Who loves their job?

I love my job.

I sit in front of a computer all day while I watch TV on a 60 in. plasma. I spend approximately 75% of my time on the internet (70% on this forum) and 25% doing my actual job which has the esteemed title of "Weapons System Coordinator."

Basically I'm a dispatcher and call out different specialists to go fix our jets. I also run the meetings for the Colonel where he's briefed on the status of the fleet which of course I manage and make sure it's current up to the minute.

It's a pretty lax atmosphere but can get pretty hectic when you get jets trying to land with landing gear issues and what not. I love the stress though.

Who else loves their job?

I love what I do, I drive heavy machines and paid good money and good benefits.

I work at a landfill driving the large dozer's that pushes and compacts the trash, hours are good too 7-4 or 7-5 and weekends off and 14 paid holidays.

I work in a law firm. I used to have many responsbilities, like grapghic design work and IT stuff. They hired pros and now I do secretary work (adding contacts to a prgram and other *** stuff). I graduated college in May. I shouldn't be doing this.


I am thinking about quitting. Anyone want to chime in?

PLEASE?

I'm not a huge fan of my job. I get paid well, but it has this office space-ish feel that I can't shake. I'm a manager in a financial office for a major wireless carrier. Boo cubicle farms.

/me sings (to the tune of James Blunt "You're Beautiful") My cubicle.. my cubicle.. it's one of sixty-two...

I hate my job. Life is funny, if someone would have told me 5 years ago I'd be making over $20/hr and own my own house I would be like but I am by far the unhappiest I have ever been in my life. It is probobly just a matter of time until I just say f*** it and quit. Probobly will end up being a smart move in the end. (I fix verizon vehicles, been doing it for 8 years.)

I loooove my job. I work at a dialysis clinic. I stick people with needles, but I love helping people out. Hence me becoming a nurse.

Some days I don't want to go, but thats only bc I "strongly dislike" some of the people I work with.

I hear ya, sista.

Sometimes I can't wait to get to work and accomplish stuff. But on other days, I don't want to go just because of a retard hot-shot that I work with.

Anyways, for the most part, I like my job... Finance Department @ Kodak.
