Life Do you like your job?

The Dawg · 05-29-2012, 02:30 AM

Personally I am in a position right now where I could give a **** less about where I work. The pay is decent. The work is hard, the bosses who work with us on a regular basis are complete assholes. The upper ranking supervisors are nice, but you don't see them very often. Not to mention it's working 3rd shift most of the time.

I just graduated with my Bachelors degree a couple of weeks ago, and can't wait to get a job in my field. Just wondered if ya'll were happy with the career choices you made.

My job sucks. There has to be something better!

**Bugeater** · 05-29-2012, 05:49 AM

It's complicated.

**Easy 6** · 05-29-2012, 06:23 AM

I do, talking to people & doing some paperwork isnt so bad, i've had to work a lot harder for my paychecks at most other jobs.

I used to love my job. Well, okay, not "love", but it was an easy job because I knew it well, it was a prestigious job because few people did it, it was an interesting job because most people were impressed by it. Then it was taken away by technology.

Now? Now, I'm a suit monkey, doing stuff that mostly they can hire someone else to do. My job security is now tenuous, I have to deal with the general public, I have to deal with office politics, blah blah blah. It's still mildly interesting but it's also mostly tedium, repetition, and menial.

So, I guess, no, I don't like it.

Most days I love it. However, on those shit days, I tell myself, "work to live, don't live to work."

**Bane** · 05-29-2012, 06:34 AM

I love what I do,I just hate some of the bullshit and school kid drama that comes with working with others.

Rasputin · 05-29-2012, 06:55 AM

I like my job other than getting use to the night shift it's pretty relaxed and easy going for the most part.

**notorious** · 05-29-2012, 06:58 AM

I love it. I am the best at what I do, and the services I provide really make people happy.

My job is a day job while I try to get into my chosen field. As day jobs go, it's pretty decent. I have benefits, good hourly pay, and it's honestly not too difficult. I'd rather be able to do without it, but for the time being I'm cool.

Ceej · 05-29-2012, 07:12 AM

Could be better, could be worse.

I make decent money for what I do.

Is it something I could see myself doing the rest of my life?

Probably not.

**Bwana** · 05-29-2012, 07:12 AM

As long as I stay out of the office and on the road, I love it. If I spend too much time in the office, I don't like it. This one is easy, stay the hell out of the office, which I do 95% of the time. I also love the paycheck, which is why I'm still there.

On a side note, I have a guy in my office, skittish little prick, (French Canadian go figure) that says "weeeeeee" (like the Geico pig) when he gets nervous. He gets nervous a lot.

If he gets REALLY nervous, he wanders around saying "weeeee Dupree."

Yeah, if he didn't weigh 135 pounds, I would have taken one for the team by now and buried him in the hills, or used him for fish chum.

**loochy** · 05-29-2012, 07:14 AM

It's pretty good. At times it's boring, but I get to be a part of a lot of cool stuff too.

|Zach| · 05-29-2012, 07:15 AM

Yes. Long sales cycles can make things challenging at times though.
