Kevin Carr's Gloves 3371 Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Confucious said "A man who loves his job never has to work a day in his life". I became a system tester 2 years ago and now after years of crap absolutely love my job and it does make every day very easy. Who out there likes their job and who hates the crap they have to do?

Happy Face 29 Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 I worked in The Criterion pub for 3 years and loved it. I worked at Asda for one night and never went back, fuck doing a job you can't stand. I worked at BT on the phones cold calling people and enjoyed it. I worked for EDS testing, coding and designing and never got the Sunday night blues once Now I work as a manager for HP and I'm bored shitless or clueless just about every second at my desk that I'm not on Toontastic. They pay better than Asda though, so I ain't gonna show the same willingness to just not show up any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 14249 Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 I basically like my job, but I'm (finally) getting bored of it. Not ready to jump ship just yet, especially with the economy the way it is, but I reckon I'll be looking to do something different in a couple of years even if it means taking a hit financially.

Jill 0 Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 I don't hate it and I don't have to think about it when I leave for the day - not many prospects but it'll do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll bear that in mind next time I'm trying to get some twat to let me place an order so I can spend some money on Linux resources. Useless fuckers. Love my job, stressfull as fuck but a "challenge" which is always good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 4005 Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 At times I miss my old business life and then give myself a slap around the head. Having genuine freedom to work when you want is very potent. Not a job that would suit all or for young couples but ideal for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JawD 48 Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Like mine. Even without it being my own business, I like the industry I'm in. I work with canny people and we have a laugh. of course it's stressful and I never really get a day off as I can't switch off from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 13921 Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 I quite like my job but it's not what I want to do long term. Happy enough for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 6187 Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Genuinely enjoy my job. Partly because of the team I work with, partly because of the work I do and partly because the A&E liaison stuff means I get to spend time with lots of young pretty nurses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acrossthepond 759 Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 I'm a high school teacher and wouldn't swap it for anything. Plenty of stress, plenty of sleepless nights wondering about how I can reach some of the kids, the job comes home with me every day, the pay isn't great, but I'm doing what I love and helping to make a difference and that's good enough for me.

Howmanheyman 28467 Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 I hate, nay, detest the working hours I do. Job itself can be shit, sometimes not bad, usually boring but I can't just flit off as it's a decent payer and my Wife can't work. I'd love to do something different and work days mon-fri.

Renton 18568 Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 On paper my job should be great but for some reason I just don't like it 90% off the time. Morale in the NHS is pretty low art the moment as a rule though. My pay is going down in real terms year on year and there's little fun to be had.

The Fish 9396 Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Everywhere does. Thank CT's hero for nobody willing/able to do anything about it. There's a union at our place, but only 30 members, so diddly squat power. I'll just set about finding something new. I've no mortgage or dependants.

StevenL 0 Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 I work 7am till 3pm, 3pm till 11pm and then 11pm till 7am. Days, afternoons, nights. I can't stand working afternoon shifts but the others aren't so bad. I'm getting a degree in Mechanical Engineering off them so that's why I'm sticking around, probably for the next 3 years.

Gejon 2 Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 My job is very hit and miss. My manager is class, is manager not so much so it depends who I am dealing with. Fair too unrealistic targets set but we have to lie to those at the top about things so they can't understand why certain things aren't being done. They have basically scraped my role so I have had to reapply for a new position. Applied for something I have previously done and even trained numerous people above me to do, written procedures etc.. but know I won't get it as I don't have some of the qualifications in the job specs. I think not getting this role will be the thing that finally pushes me to try something different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 39459 Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 Gejon , pissed as a Christmas rat Mind , I can't talk, I've gone French stylee today- started with several Bucks Fizz just before midday, onto my 4th bottle of red, (with a few port and brandys after lunch , as a digestif of course . ) Now getting the sexy eye from the bottle of Pussers Rum , " Come, drink me Fisty, you know I'm better than the rest!" Only the immense amount of food consumed is stopping my collapse into booze snooze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
