Which do you prefer?

A job where you have loooaads and looaads of work to do so you can never relax or a job where youve got hardly anything to do but get bored? I think I prefer a job with hardly anything to do as I hate being stressed out with work.

Yes me too. I'd rather be bored than stressed. If I run out of things to do, I could do a sudoku puzzle or something until I have more work to do.

I started learning sudoku on holiday last week, I nevre got round to finishing it tho. I dont suspect I will now as was in my dads puzzle book. Ah well, I could always try another one.

I love hardwork if the remuneration is comeasurate with the work, but if not then I'll prefer a job with less stress so that I can spend the time for things that are more rewarding to me financially and otehrwise. Or what do you think?

WEll Im not sure what the renumeration is comeasurate with the work means but I think I get the general picture. I think overall I prefer less stress and more free time. I f the job was really well paid I suppose you would have the best of both worlds.

If only there was a happy medium eh! If you are loaded down with work it sure makes the time go much faster than sitting around bored with hardly anything to do the time drags! How many times have you sat at work looking at the time wishing it to speed up! Having said that too much pressure and work leads to stress, upset and high blood pressure, more time off work as your immune system is low and you take your work problems out on your beloved which causes more stress! Not an easy question. I think I would rather relax and deal with the boredom which is a lot easier than stress to deal with!

Right now having a job, any job, would be good hun. I have been unemployed for a long time now and getting nowhere with my job search as my age is against he. However, if I were in a job then I would sooner take my time with a job to make sure I get things right

I know the law probably isnt enforced as it should be, but age discrimination is illegal now (as you probably know). HAve you tried recruitment agencies? Temp jobs can often lead to more, thats what happened to me. I recomend Adecco.

I like a job where you are rushed off your feet most of the time. It makes the day go quicker. I think if you have a job that is too slow, it makes you tired and bored and then you dont enjoy your job so much.

I knwo what you mean but I still think would rather be really bored than really stressed. I suppose it would depend on the nature of the work really and how stressed it would make me.

I would prefer a job where there was lots of work to do, as it makes the day go quicker and at least I could stop doing the work if I wanted to relax alittle, whereas, if the job no hardly any work I would be wishing for the time to hurry up so I could go home!

I suppose my jobs not so bad, I can relax whenever I want as nobody would know but if theres too much to do theres not much time for that.
