Do you enjoy your job?

Jade · Jade of the Jadepocalypse

Greatgamer's thread made me wonder, how does everyone feel about their current jobs?

Didn't we have this discussion recently? Am I dreaming? Is this real life?

I feel its always best to wait for an internet meme to get so overused that it illicits NO reaction. it's then that I make it my OWN.

i like my job a lot. The people who run the company are nice, and there's a real world aspect to all of it. It's a construction company, but in a nice corporate setting.

We moved into the new office in October and it's all glass and steel and pretty and stuff. but we still got these beer belly dudes in boots walking around meeting with supervisors in these elaborate conference rooms (ahem, which i helped to put together Very Happy

) and at the same time we have guy's in ties walking around meeting with them too.

so it's nice to have those two worlds melting into one. that's how I am, i like to combine contrasting things, so I enjoy witnessing it.

I thought I'd enjoy helping people by relaying important messages. It turns out a voicemail could do 99% of my job, and 99% of the messages are basically meaningless. So it's endless repetitive tedium punctuated by impatience, rudeness, and the odd compliment on my voice. Eh. At least I get to telecommute.

I love being a bum writer. It's great.

Agreed, John. My favorite part of working for a high end transport company was going to a corporate meeting then listening to truckers talk about where to get a good jackknife (for "protection").

I don't dislike my job, but it doesn't set my world on fire.
I like that fact that it's relatively stress free and that when I finish for the day I've finished, and don't take it home with me either in work form or in my head.
I get a decent wage and perks for what I do, it's just not ultimately what I thought I'd end up doing.
It's far better for me, physically and mentally, than my previous jobs though.

And I actually like everyone I work with, which is rare.

I love my job, too. It has the usual stresses, but nothing horrible. I tend to easily become a workaholic. So, I bring stuff home and I check my email on vacation. But I'm trying to do less of that. Life seems to be a lot more enjoyable when I do.

I've been notorious for not remaining at one place for long, so I can't say I've ever truly enjoyed working some place.

I guess there are always pros and cons, but in my case - for better or worse - I've always felt the negatives outweighed the positives, and therefore bounced.

I love my job. Decent pay with pretty good benefits. I get paid to work out and jump out of planes. I've advanced fairly quickly up the ranks. I'm on the promotion list for Sargent First Class which will finally make me a senior non-commissioned officer (kinda like senior management). Sept is my 10 year mark, so half way to a federal retirement. I haven't deployed in 3 years but i might be gone again in the next few weeks. My family is provided for and we live (I think) quiet nicely.

depends on what i'm doing. at 20 years you get 50% of your base pay for the rest of your life. My dad did 27 years and gets 73% I think. Congress also approved the 15 year retirement where you'd get about 34% of your base pay but the military branches have not adopted it into practice yet (they might not either).

Good deal, either way. Very Happy

I work for government. But I have to either work until retirement age or 30 years, whichever comes first, to get the good deal. But it's a really good deal.
