What makes you happy in your work?

Nothing worse than having a boss breathing down your neck. Why does he employ you if he does not trust you.

That's a hard job to find! I can only think of freelancing but it's equally stressful in my opinion.

@suzzy3 Most bosses enjoy that, I am not sure if it has to do with trust.

@besweet Yes, same as you, I'd still choose the same course, and still work as a programmer. It's a job I really like to do. It's just fun, interesting and challenging! It's really good that you are going to learn how to create an app. I want to learn that as well, but I'll need to wait until I finish my current projects, then I'll spend some time to explore that. That's an interesting area to learn as well. Do you mind sharing where do you apply for the course online? I also just started to work together with my husband. He's the one who got the few recent freelance projects that I am working on, so he goes and meets clients and gathers the requirements, and I mainly stay at home and do the programming work. It can be quite challenging, as he doesn't have IT background, and I have to explain something about the work to him. But I think it can be quite good, as I have never really work with him before, and it's great that we understand each other's work better now.

@kaka135 Haha! I wonder the same about my work field, but I would choose the same if I had to go to the university again. I would just select another country to find a job. Programming is interesting, I have some basic knowledge and I recently applied for an online course on how to create an app! Hopefully I will be able to follow! @LadyDuck I always thought that you must have a lot of patience to be able to balance the workplace and your life at home with your husband. On the other hand, it can be easier to work together because there is deeper communication. Doesn't this help you complete each other's work without misunderstandings on what needs to be done?

@besweet Every woman who works with her husband will tell you that husbands are the worst boss. They pretend more from their wives than from a normal assistant or secretary. It is true that working together every day you learn to know your husband more and to understand why not every day is a funny day to go out and enjoy a restaurants. His problems have always been my problems.

@besweet Yes, indeed .

@mimiang Do you work with the same colleagues for a long time? I think it's great to make friends through the workplace.

I know what you mean! When working feels like fun, it's less possible to complain about money!

@TiarasOceanView Haha! Women have the tendency to share all their secrets when they do their hair treatments.

That's a great advantage of a job that can make people smile. It must have been very rewarding for you in emotional level.

@besweet It was and also it was good ´therapy´ to listen to other peoples problems and forget mine lolz

My first reply was posted on @kaka135 's post by mistake! I still don't know how it happened. I think that the distinction between responses and comments isn't very clear sometimes.

@LadyDuck Good point, they are all comments indeed. Sorry for the mix-up.

Working from home can become repetitive too, do you find it easier to avoid routine when you are the one to select the work you can complete?

@rina110383 I was thinking about the routine tasks and I was wondering if it's actually good do have some routine tasks during the day. They might feel like a break and help our mind rest from the more demanding tasks.

@besweet I like both routine and non-routine tasks.

Interesting professional choice! What type of cuisine did you cook? I find cooking very relaxing but I imagine that it can be very stressful for the professionals.

I don't like routine either, it's a good solution to add something new in every job but it also needs constant effort. But I think it is necessary in order to improve, isn't it?

It would be ideal to find the working life so rewarding that gives us satisfaction every day. It usually happens to me during the first years of a new job and then it decreases, I miss the days when I was waking up feeling happy just because I was going to work!

@besweet You are right, the newness does wear off after a couple of years.

You are very lucky to work on a field that you enjoy so much! I used to be excited too but after 2.5 years, some parts of the job are the same every week. Do you have a big team that you're working with? Ignorant people need to be treated with patience!

@besweet I work with a fairly big remote team. This is my second career change. So far going well.

The jobs that keep the interest high are the ones that we can remember the most. I would imagine that working in a bank can be repetitive, I am glad to hear that you were assigned to different tasks. Was this the bank policy for everyone?

Research is one of my favorites too! Do you write articles/blogs etc or you like writing books as well?

@besweet I write articles on textbroker. I used to write stories too.

Having good colleagues is very important. I have noticed that socializing during breaks makes the day pass quickly at work.

I am glad to see that everyone enjoys their jobs so much. I think I am the only one here who complained about my work..

Companies are very demanding, but I like the working environment and the benefits. If you can have your own business and make a living then it's even better!
