Do you love your job?

noelheart

Just curious...

I feel warm with you all, and happy to know you more, so could you list what you are doing and what you have done interesting?
Myself: I do the service work for seedress.com which sells wedding dresses, bridesmaid dresses, prom dresses, etc.. . This job sounds like routine, but I like it. It is honorable when a lady tell me that the dress is gorgeous, and everyone said it was pretty in it, which made her wedding so special.

Recently, I'm losing weight in order to look pretty when I wear my wedding dress next year.

Well, do you love your job?
Have a magic weekend!

Love love what I do...just hate the politics at work. I work for a local government. It's not all bad though.

Love?? Not so sure about all that, but I do like it! I work in the gravel biz, in the office for 25 yrs, now I work out in the field doing quality control. I work with alot of great guys! (and Gals!!) How many can say they get to play in the dirt for a living?! I sometimes feel like my world is a giant sand box full of Tonka trucks! :-)
Do what you love. Love what you do. I try to follow that rule. Life is too short to be miserable!

I would say my job is OK at best. The best part is the pay. But I do work with some super lazy people that make my job harder and more stressful. Let's just say I do job search rather frequently.

I was a soldier and it was good. Combat sucked but sserving your country is an honor. Now I manage a grocery store, but thats just what I do for money, my real purpose and joy is loving and raising two amazing kids that I have full custody of!

I love my job! It is the thrid company I have worked for since I started in the working world. I am a Quality Manager for a manufacturing company. I work a four day work week ten hours days. I run the department how I see fit and et no flax from anyone! The days are long and statr early but having three days off is worth it. The ONLY complaint I have is the pay is lower then the last job I had and that is rough to get the hang of and a little tougher to make ends meet. But other wise I love it, it is the best working job I have had!

AZTrailRunner

I own my own dog training company here in AZ. It's a lot of fun, and I'll be doing it for a lot longer, but there are times I don't love it. I rarely get a full day off... a half-day is the best I can get every few months. It's a lot like running a farm, no rest for the weary.

The only real drag is dealing with some of the owners, and their unrealistic expectations. Other than that, I love working with the dogs every day.

Sure do! I'm a stay at home mom of 3 boys, well 4 if you include their dad. Lol!

wickedcricket

yes I do, I love my job & the ppl. it's a very small company & I work for the owner. We sell screws and it's more technical & challenging than it sounds. Plus, it's a male dominated field and hard for to women compete. I like it when 'good ol boys' call to ask MY advice

InfamousQ

I love what I do......computers....people....awesome!!!!!!

aa1440

Military for 10 years. Police work for 14 years. I have served my country and my community. I love it.

My current job as VP of an internet-based business: I used to love it, but now I'm just very over it. I love that I have such authority and I am basically in charge, but I do not like the stresses of maintaining a business, worrying about the economy, and not knowing what our sales are going to be like month-to-month. It's been an INCREDIBLE experience, and I will take a ton of skills and knowledge with me when I leave.

Prospective job: I have always wanted to be a nurse, and after working my *kitten* off to put myself through nursing school and then passing my boards, I'm just waiting for a new graduate position to open up at one of our hospitals so I can do what I'm passionate about. Then, I will LOVE my job.

sufikitkat

Behavior Support with students with Autism. I LOVE what I do...but highly stressed from the workload and lack of pay with increased expectations...leading to two part time jobs on top of it to make a living. I am getting a Business masters though and looking to move fields from education into business...maybe even own my own business someday :-) I still want to be involved in helping my students...just not direct care anymore.

pauljsolie

LOL, funny you should ask. Like others, I love what I do, I just don't like the company I work for. It's a huge worldwide conglomerate of engineering/design companies with over 50,000 employees Here is what I tell people when they ask about my company. Halliburton and Enron had a baby, my company is the demon spawn of those two. While Enron was giving birth to my company, it died.

I work in a lab in a hospital. I wouldn't say that I love it but I like it. I like it way more when the politics and gossip are reduced. There are parts of it that I love - certain areas of the lab that I would really really like to work in while other parts not so much.

I would LOVE the working with dogs everyday - but I can't imagine dealing with the owners!!

That's great. I think you can.
Yes, life is too short and we need to do something we love. Hope you can do what you are passionate about, come on.

noelheart

Sure do! I'm a stay at home mom of 3 boys, well 4 if you include their dad. Lol!

wow~ happy mom, great!

shad1018

YES - I really love my job. Work with awesome people at a great company. It's not perfect, but nothing is. I can say that this is the best position I have had in 25+ years of working. I've been with the Company 5 yrs. 1 yr at this location. I intend to retire there. I've been in Human Resources for almost 20 years.

crystalslight

ABSOLUTELY!! I would like some paid vacation though. LOL. I'm a SAHM

misty589

I waitress. It sounds lame, but I actually really like it. It allows me to stay at home with my kids all day and then go to work in the evenings and make a pretty decent amount of money in a short time, I'm fortunate, because where I live waitresses still make a decent wage and then get tips on top of it. I really really love talking to people and I'm maternal by nature, so it works out well for me!

I share the same love as You AZ..but we already knew that.I'm a vet tech and I have a small boarding and grooming business and have trained dogs for obedience, conformation and protection. Have had a few go to the police department in Detroit. I love my job like you do AZ but also like you it's the people I have trouble with. I feel that people should have to pass a test like they do to drive a car before they can have a pet. And every one should have to volunteer in a shelter before owning a pet. If people had to hold a pet being euthanized maybe they wouldn't think twice about spaying and neutering. But yes I love my job 90% of the time. Even when a Rott is attached to my arm...

Not sure if love is the right word but I like what I do...empowering people through preventative education and allowing them to decide how to control their own life. I am a nurse. Sometimes I feel like we have more and more and more work and the same pay and no appreciation but the clients I serve when they come and say ''You are nice.'' and then they smile then I feel purposeful. The main thing I don't care for are the hours. Otherwise, it is great!

garlic7girl

Hey superman! I have much respect for you on many levels. The other day I went to a gun range for the first time and WOW! Much respect for guns and those that use them correctly. I was not prepared for the sound or the kickback. God bless you!

I'm a mommy and I LOVE it! couldn't ask for a better job.

I work at a credit union right now and I love it! The people are great and we have great incentives. I only work part-time right now but when I worked full time my health benefits and retirement benefits were awesome! Everyone is so nice and it is such a non-stressful job. I am a nursing student too and am super nervous about going from a non-stressful job to a super stressful job (being a nurse). Before I started nursing school, I thought my job was stressful but it really opened my eyes being a student nurse. I do work in one of the most knowledged based positions at the credit union but I still feel like compared to being a nurse this is easy. I can only hope to work with a great bunch of people when I get hired in as a nurse....I think the people who surround you make all the difference in the world.

I have been a Registered Nurse for 16 years. I take care of the sickest of the sick and the dying. I have taken care of premature infants, struggling to take their first breath on the same day I've cared for many people on their last day on this earth. It is exhilarating and heartbreaking. It is largely thankless. But Each person that I care for deserves my best efforts and all of my skills. They are someone's family member. they are fellow human beings, Many are total dirtbags. But they all deserve the best I can give. I have saved many lives, and held the hands of many who could not be saved. I have wept with the Mother of a brain injured child as she made the decision to donate his organs that others may live. It can be a $hitty job, but to answer your question, yeah, I do love it.

This is a horrible thing to admit, but I've been unemployed for over 5 months now and I love it! I was working as a project manager at a huge global corporation and my job slowly turned into moving manufacturing (ours and our suppliers) to Chinese suppliers. I was just getting too hard to stomach when the company decided the profit they were making wasn't big enough and my boss had fired so many people that I was the only one left she could get rid of when told to cut headcount.

The job market where I live is horrible but we have money in the bank and my husband's job is safe until the end of next year so I am taking some time to get healthy and catch up on things. We've had to cut back on some things but it's worth it.

I'm happier than I've been in years. Hoping that once I do find a job it's one that makes me happy like my old one did in the beginning.

I quit a job that I hated to stay home with my daughter. It doesn't pay as well, but she is a lot more fun to be around than the catty women in my old office. I also get to stay in my pajamas all day.

Sorry to hear that, but I think you will find a job which can make you happy soon.
Recently, it's normal to get fired, anyhow, something better is after behind.
