ReZourceman Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Looking at that other thread I'm surprised how many people seem to be happy. Poll win. (If you have a job. If you don't that doens't count) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellmeister Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Although only an internship at the moment, I do enjoy mine! And the pay looks greaaaaaaaaaaat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mundi Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Well yeah, outside all day ordering people to go to work. All made greater due to the great weather we´ve been having here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.C.G Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 It's a job... so no. If I genuinely enjoyed it then I'd do it for free... but then it wouldn't be a job as I wouldn't be getting paid. I'd say I tolerate work at best and any brief moments of unintentional satisfaction or enjoyment gained while working is a bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chairdriver Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 The majority of the time I sit playing Bejeweled and stealing hotdogs, so I really can't complain. Also, everyone at work (barring like... 2 people, and the managers (obviously)) is really good chat/craic/banter, so its great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pookiablo Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 I put yes - sure it's not the best job in the world but it's a worthwhile experience. Not like I have anything else to do with my weekends /sarcasm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaggle64 Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 I put "no" though on the proviso that I don't hate my job. Everyone's amiable enough. It is a bit wearing sometimes however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cube Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 As there are only five of us, we all get along pretty well. By "pretty well" I mean we constantly insult and make fun each other (including the boss). We all know that it's all for fun and nobody means anything. It livens things up a lot. The work itself it getting a bit repetitive and tiresome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 I put no coz I get moaned at all day because people are I.T Retarded, and my pay sucks balls.

tapedeck Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 (edited) I'm very lucky that I love my job. Couldn't be happier with it. I've had some shocking jobs in the past with both poor managers and actual poor career prospects, but working as a careers adviser in a college is brilliant. I get to see all the college kidz (who usually ain't fussed tbf) but it's working with adults that is rewarding. We get to go out and see the long term unemployed too which is challenging but also has moments of real reward. I also run our website at the college, do the marketing for the service and liaise with schools and curriculum areas including the always hilarious hair and beauty departments. I also get courses for free which means I study allsorts (cert ed this year) and the pay is waaaay above the average for the North East of England. Oh...And I also love N-Europe!

Will Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 I love my job, good people, good money, free games. To top it all off I actually enjoy the 'work' bit too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murr Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 As mentioned before, when my work consists of purely being JUST a Database Administrator its fantastic, but all week i've been Database Administrator Slash Dialler Manager... and it's the worst job ever. so normally yes i love my job, it's very entertaining, very challanging, and you get a great feeling of satisfaction knowing your hard work is benefitting other departments greatly, and generates a heck of a lot of income. Dialler Manager i'd enjoy if i was purely in that role, not juggling it with the DBA work. oh Well 2 weeks off starting from next week, so wont need to worry oh yeah short answer, yes i like my job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rummy Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Why are there only two options? I'm not sure if I enjoy my job. I think maybe I do? Or sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. I don't see me wanting to do it forever, so I guess I don't? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Odwin Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 It's a job... so no. My feelings, but I know I have to work and my current work is close to the top of options. Work is good when there are good people and the potential for slacking sufficiently to do what I want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 The majority of the time I love my job as a swimming teacher, but obviously it depends on who I'm teaching. You're obviously going to get an annoying child who cries all the time every so often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flameboy Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 I do enjoy my job and yes I'd rather be tons of other stuff as a living but its worth while and I make enough money to get by on (sort of) so yeah. I work as an ICT and Multimedia Instructor at a college for the blind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cube Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Another thing about my job is that, even though he sits roughly two metres away from me, my boss never notices anything. He's sitting there right now as I type this, unaware of my lack of work doings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debug Mode Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Work is one of the things you'l need through life, can't receive without giving some of your time, so I've no problem doing it. When I'm consistently fucked about though, taking absolute liberties because there is barely jobs going so they feel they can pretty much treat us like slave labour (and break laws during the process).. No, I fucking hate my job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're obviously going to get an annoying child who cries all the time every so often. I used to be a swimming teacher/lifeguard! STA fully qualified back in the day. Totally awesome job at times. But yeah - kids who cried, complained or fought were well annoying. A simple foot on their head seemed to work when their parents weren't looking... Work 'colleagues' are usually the Bain in most jobs. People who are lazy or complain are an annoyance. Some twisty wifey I work with today had a go at me as I couldn't cover the reception as I was busy. She was saying 'you can tell there's no 'I' in teamwork with you. The reply of "yeah but there's a me" was full of win and shut her quickly. I hate to generalise but a lot of women I've worked with have been REALLY complacent and argumentative with anyone. Leave your shit at the door! Edited July 21, 2010 by tapedeck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one of the reasons I'm working less lately, actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
