Gong to Work

[smurfchops]

Does anyone enjoy going to work, or do you really really hate your job, or the people you work with? And what jobs do ABers do? I do secretarial work, and as a temp I move about to different offices, so if I don't like one particular place where I work, I know I won't be there long ! I have had some good jobs too though, like working at a TV studio.

I enjoy my job and enjoy the company at work, I am a Retail Manager and so it's the customers I invariably dislike.

There was an article in the paper the other day (so it must be true) saying that a survey had put admin jobs as having the highest boredom factor, with teaching the lowest, of the different jobs surveyed.

[violetblue]

Dot, did you mean to say you dislike the customers? I'm not going into your shop!

[Lore]

I love going to work, I'm in education and although I'd gladly leave where I am just now, I couldn't just give up, I need to work otherwise I'd be banging my head against every wall in the house. - as I said in an earlier thread - two weeks till School starts again.. whoo hoooo!

[laurence2]

Love my job, i,m a train driver and a H&S representative, combining them togeather, i get approx 9 months of a year through rest days holidays union meeting etc, plus the money is very good

[dot.hawkes]

don't worry violet, i am sure you are one of the rare nice customers lol

[Suzyboo]

Hate loathe and detest my job because I have to work with the most annoying, incompetent, patronising and downright nasty manager. Scour the listings for other jobs constantly and cannot wait to escape!

[ELVIS68]

I love my job, I`m an overhead lineman, I get approx 175 days off a year plus my annual 4 weeks holiday

It is a cushy number but does have some hard days now and again....about 5 times a year

[nobjob]

suzyboo you dont happen to work in a shop selling designer shoes do you ???

[steviep165]

a mate of mine used to do that for northern electric elvis, he said it was a brilliant job.
i'm in pub management and its a killer!!

[yinyang]

I'm about to get made redundant, or at least that's how it feels. I've been a full time mum for the last four and a half years and both my girls start school on monday. :(

[dot.hawkes]

lol @ nobjob

[Lore]

Elvis.....175 days off & 4 weeks holiday?

and you say I've got it easy!! :o\

[wonder years]

i work in retail in the warehouse, work with a loveley bunch of girls in fact the whole shop is great, been there 8 years and cant see myself wanting to leave, i count myself very lucky when you hear so many stories of bad places to work.

[Suzyboo]

Not designer shoes, no - did the description remind you of someone?

[mccfluff]

i work as a general dogsbody or at least that's how it feel right now, totally hacked off and looking for something new!

[stylinsam]

i HATE work i kinda like the job but id rather not go!!!

[mnko]

i work @ home looking after my 2 children, and part-time ebay seller

[carrust]

I've got the best boss in the world. I can have time-off when I want. He doesn't mind when i'm late. I can take 2hr lunches, finish early etc. You've guessed it i'm self employed.

[fee-is-me]

I have 2 jobs (well, one 'job' and one 'career') and do them both from home... so i love it!

I am my own boss, with very little stress and no irritating no-marks to bring me down.

Didn't always used to be this way, but made a concerted effort to NOT work for anyone other than myself.

You only get one spin at this life - so why be unhappy...?
