Do you like your job?

Do you like your job? What do you do? If you don't like it, what about it makes it bad and why do you tolerate it? What do you wish you did instead? It seems we all would love to do a plethora of other things than what we actually do for a living. We wind up settling on one thing. What's that thing for you?

I adore my job - I would rather be there than at home. I work at a water park during the summer and this will be my 5th season, 3rd as a Supervisor. I originally took the job because it sounded easy, it was outdoors, and it sounded good for a first job. I hated it that year, I guess I got all the mean customers. However, after working for Garden Ridge during the holidays, I changed my opinion and went back. I have loved it since then. It turns out we actually work really hard and its not all fun and games, though we try to keep ourselves entertained more than any other job I have ever had. My absolute favorite thing is the people. We are so close, like a second family. I just went to my boss's wedding, and my crew and I are going bowling together next week. I can't wait for the upcoming season!

Well I like what I do for a living I just don't like were I do it at if that makes any sense. I'm a paralegal and I work for husband and wife attorneys and his associate. Im the only employee. I like to think of myself as a Jill of all trades cause I don't just do paralegal work, Im the sectary and the office manager as well. It gets pretty lonely not having anyone to talk to all day. I mean I talk on the phone to clients that call or the courts but you know what I mean. I don't have anyone to go to lunch with or talk about the lastes celb gossip or what we watched on tv last night,etc. My boses are in and out all day. I like my boses they are very nice and will forever be greatful to them for hiring me. This is my first ever "real job" all I could get was temp work when I first got out of college. I will be here 2 years in April and Im so greatful just to be working, but it gets very frustrating because one of my bosses doesn't understand what it is like to answer the phone all day, especially when your doing two or three other things while your answering it. I want a new job but Im going to stick it out for atleast 2 more years to get some real good expirence.

I don't like my job. I worry about the sharp talons grabbing me and hurting me. But it's the only job around here so I keep it. I don't like the pay I get either, but it's better than nothing, plus I have all the eggs I can eat and drink.

The only thing I like my job is the paycheck. That's it literally. My dream job is to sit on my rump and travel the world. haha...I'd like to write a novel some day too.

I like the job. Hate the red tape! Although, right now I am Thanking God that I even have a job! I am so thankful to get up and go to work everyday. Especially with the unemployment rate rising faster than it ever has in history.
