Do you like your job? * 1
    #19145987 - 11/16/13 04:21 PM (10 years, 2 months ago)

I've worked a LOT of shitty jobs. Managing a wholesale pet warehouse was probably the worst. Worked 65-70 hours a week for $25k a year and when I got home I smelled like various kinds of animal shit and piss and was always sick. That sucked. I also did valet parking. The only cool aspect of that was getting to drive all kinds of cars over $100K. The job was tip based though, so it was very rare you'd have a good night.

Now I'm working in a microbiology lab and I fucking love what I do. I actually get to use the stuff I went to school for. I find myself staying late, going in on Saturdays for an hour or two, or researching solutions to problems with experiments when I get home. I don't do it because I have to, I do it because I enjoy it.

How many of yous people actually have jobs that you would say you love? Why do you love it? On the other side, do you hate your job? Why? What do you do, what sucks about it?

I like my job, aspects of it anyway, not too keen on the pay rate though, I
get to spend time working on machines, making them safer, more efficient and
improving quality but I also have some office time to deal with

tuesday morning I have to give a presentation to the bigwigs that are coming
in from the head office, I'm co-leading an event at work, the other guy is
handling the first and 3rd presentation but I have to take the second. hurray
for public speaking... especially when it's the people that pay you

the upside... in a company where few people ever say "you're doing a
fantastic job", I get told that a lot, several department heads, the guy
running this particular facility as well as a number of others in the office
know me by name and by sight. it's odd since this is just the start of the
3rd month in this position and it's a huge, multinational company

That's fucking awesome man.  I'm so happy for you that you found a bio job that you enjoy.  :congrats:

It's the reason I pursued my biology degree.  I legitimately love scientific pursuits and it's what I find myself doing in my spare time anyway.  Mycology is a big part of it.

Hopefully I'll find something soon.  The prospect of getting paid for something challenging that I enjoy doing anyway is thrilling to me. 

I can't imagine going to work for the rest of my life doing something that I don't enjoy.  That would suck.

Ive loved all my jobs :-)

because love is from within, from appreciating what you got
having a job and food on the table each day, the bills paying themselves etc. is nice

the glass is half full not half empty :-)

I would love to work in a lab, but, unfortunately, that isn't in the cards for me right now.  I'm excited for the new opportunity that I start on Monday, but would really rather be working in the field I spent four hard years of my life working to study.

Sometimes. I'm not content about it at the moment though. I like some of what I'm building up to, I like the sites I'm working on but I wouldn't really it call it a job.

The other job I have I like cause it helps pay for some stuff and I can do it at home so I dig that.

As for future jobs it's up in the air kind of.  I'll see how the websites pan out and go from there.

Love my Jobs.

In the summer I do plant health care. I basically just go around and identify problems with trees, shrubs or lawns and fix them. It mostly consists of fertilization and pesticide applications. I work by myself, and choose my own schedule. I legally can't spray If the wind is over 15mph, it's raining/drizzling/snowing, or if people are in my way or I feel the situation is too risky. I smoke every morning, and around lunch, and depending on my mood have a beer or two for lunch. I answer to no one except my customers, whom I do everything I can to make happy. I had to cap my customers this year, and can't take on anyone new. I fired two customers who always complained and were just miserable to deal with and took on two more who are ecstatic to be working with me. Just finishing up the last of my deep root feeding and Lime treatments next week and then I'm off until April.

Which brings me to my other job. I picked up blowing glass in June of last year. Last winter it eased the January-February period that is generally a little tough money wise and it went smooth sailing. This year I have dozens of people asking me for Christmas presents already, the two shops who carry my stuff are calling me every few days asking for more product and I can work all day and still have orders to fill. Luckily they are amazingly cool to work with and an absolute pleasure. During the winter I sleep much later, get way more stoned and generally just enjoy the hell out of the work. Even though I absolutely love nature, there's just something about making art and having people enjoy it that seems far more rewarding to me at this time. Now if only I made the money blowing glass that I did at my other job I would be in heaven.

Love playing gigs but it doesn't pay the bills at the moment, most I've pulled in on a monthly basis was just enough to get by.

Day jobs suck, but the temp gig I got right now ain't so bad. Just manual labor.

I recently started a new job and I'm liking it so far. It's super easy and I have a lot of free time and freedom to do my homework there. My boss also bought me flowers and my favorite beer for my birthday after I'd only been working there for three days, super cool bosses are the best. Most of the people there are really nice to me, too. And they're giving me $1500 a year to pay towards my tuition, how cool is that?

if canada is willing to let me over the border I'd love to meet you as well

I'm not sure if I should be nervous about this public speaking crap or not,
I know the other co-lead is nervous, everyone says he's never nervous. I
see it but apparently no one else does

I love what I do. I work in the morgue as an autopsy tech and I really enjoy the work I get to do. I wish I could make more money doing this, if I could I would retire from this job.
