I love my job. except on the days I'm sitting at my desk eating yogurt with a giant Popsicle stick because I left my spoon at home and I drop yogurt down the front of my shirt... oh wait. that just happened. FML

Most of the time I really, really enjoy my job. I get to travel once a year (which is just a binge drinking week), participate in fundraisers-from formal events to golf outings and several times throughout the year have fun classes with lots of cool people and good food.

Biggest bonus of all-my boss travel alot and we are a two person office. That means lots of days of me blaring music at my desk and enjoying my alone time!

I love my job....really. It's the only place i hear "Becky you're the best, thank you!" at least once a day. And i don't have to get bruised doing it

I love my job. I own and run my own pet store. It's challenging and requires loads of motivation. If I don't get off my butt, there isn't anyone to cover for me or do it for me. If I fail, the whole business fails. But, I don't have to answer to anyone (except my customers), I get to do things my way, and I can't get fired. So, I love my job.

Oh! And I can take my kids and my dog to work with me! Super Bonus!

I love my job, the hours and location are flexible, I get to travel around the world, I have a lot of responsibility for only being 24, there's always something new and interesting to do, and there's always great espresso.

I'm in charge of business development for our family business, but also working on a new tech start-up with my father. My dad and I are a great team and I couldn't imagine a better partner or colleague. That's really the best part of my whole job, I get to travel the world and go to work every day with my dad. Over the past few years we've really built an amazing friendship and business partnership.

Shockingly, I love what I do... And who I work for.

My jobs ok, its civil service. I do financial quality assurance for the Dept of Defense. Good vacation/benefits, decent pay. But boring as all get out. Gives me a chance to check into MFP once in a while though..

NIner..you get to train MILF's ewwwww.. so glad you are NOT my trainer.. I would hope my trainer would not be thinking about what he wants to do with me, unless its getting me toned.

Aww, in his defense I don't think he meant he actually wants to have sex with them.. I think he just meant it as a sort of compliment, like, he takes them from their mommy-bodies to having hott bodies... that sort of thing. I took it like he does a good job and was being complimentary of his trainees.

As for my trainers in my gym, they're all pro athletes. They have awesome bodies. If they find me attractive ... then I take it as a compliment. I mean, c'mon I'm paying these people to help me be attractive LOL

Niner was just jesting. He won't MILF his clients just like I won't MILF my patients. I love my job also. 2 miles from home, make my own schedule, No weekends, No calls, 8-5, Awesome professional staff, and great pay. Scary thing is I am looking into another position that offers all this, with better pay and benefits. Awesome.

I LOVE my job. I recently turned down $dreamjob just to stay where I'm at. why? my commute is less than a mile, I can see the ocean from my desk, and I go into work every single day and know what I'm doing is valued and appreciated. I work lots because I like to go into shops that are broken and fix them. I'm a computer geek.

dayzeerock

Love my job. Look forward to it every single day!

I like my job very much now, because they treat me like an adult. At my last job they were . . . I refer to it as the 3rd ring of hell.

This! I'm a VERY happily married man. Most of the women in my gym want to be MILF's.

I do love my job. In a nut shell I am a Logistics Manager/Customs Guru for a large CNC/Milling Machine dealer. I basically import/export freight from all over the world, but my main lanes of traffic are Germany & Taiwan. It's tough, stressful and my hours are ridiculous somedays but I wouldn't give it up for the world. Everyday is different and challenging but I thrive on stress so it works to my advantage.

To obtain this job I have a Bachelor of Commerce and 3 years industry experience, as well I am currently furthering my education by taking various supply chain, customs, and logistics courses and looking to get my CGA eventually

Nope! that's why I have finally decided I need a change. I just gave my notice at my current work place. I work in an insurance office and it is just far to boring for me because I work with an older women that is a control freak and won't let me do anything! She is not nice at all and I decided happiness is more important in life! I was a waitress prior to this and am used to being around people and this office is just to quiet for me! I decided even after 10 months of trying to make it work and a knot in my stomach everyday from this witchy woman it is time to move on!

I love my job! I'm a first grade teacher - it's amazing fun.

Was a US Marine for a long time. Loved tactical ops and the commraderie and closeness of those that share that environment. You develope such tight bonds with others when you have to literally entrust them with your life!

Now I'm an Enroute Air Traffic Controller! Fantastic job! The politics suck but the job itself is incredible!

self-employed.

I love my job because I can work any 100 hours/week that I want !

angelicdisgrace

I love my job because I literally tell people how I feel and I get to do what I love accounting. :bigsmile:

pebbles71785

I work for an air ambulance company as an assistant to the VP. It's fun, everyday is something new, but It seems like i'm always at work and never at home....

LosingGrip

I hate my job, I started of working part time in the main store (Tesco), 8 hours a week while I was at college. That was 4 years ago today, I'm now doing 28ish hours a week, not at college or anything.

Only thing keeping me going is working for the Police, and that I'm joining the Army in a few months!

skinnny1day

No, I don't love it...I'm currently looking for a sugar daddy :laugh:

Autumn15

I love my job in the education field because it allows me more time with my kids than just a regular old 9-5 would, it's never boring things are different everyday and I work with a wide variety of interesting people. Pay isn't great but as long as I ahve a job that allows me to spend quality time with my kids and keep a roof over our heads I'm happy.

CindyWarner

i got laid off from a job about 5 years ago that I thought I loved at the time. I took many temp jobs and some full time jobs that I ended up not likeing the politics so I left them. It took about 2 years to finally get a full time job that was right for me. In the end the company that I work for now, even though it's the same industry, is more focused on work/life balance. Something I never thought of...... I don't think I'll ever leave.

seal57

Yes, I LOVE my job...I'm a taxi driver...I love driving and meeting people..I meet the most amazing people.....

I am an ER nurse~ I LOVE my job!

Each day is different. I make a difference in others' lives. Sometimes, I even help save a life! THAT is the BEST!

HOSED49

I love my job , I am a firefighter. I investigate all fires determining origin and cause, I can ride the truck whenever I want. I get paid to workout while I am here. You need 400 hours of Firefighter training and also EMT-B certification, plus 100 hours of training yearly. We save lives, most everyone loves seeing us, and we are a family. Plus its a 20 year retirement so I can retire when I am 46 if I want.

lilRicki

Ok I guess I should play too...I'm currently in office Admin/safety admin for the oil patch. and it's damn boring. I am not challenged in any way. But i get paid well, it's a pretty liberal office, my boss is great, my benefits are great and i'm 15 minutes from home. it's just so mind numbing, i feel like i'm wasting my talent. most of the jobs in my field are for the oil patch, so it's similar. I get paid more than most of them because they really want to keep me...but seriously, i'm fading away. I hate the feeling of my eyeballs rolling in the back of my head all day. the fact that i do sweet f.a. all week, and then Friday I decided to get my poop in a group, and I'm done EVERYTHING by 10am. I'm scared that my brain is atrophying, and if I do get a big girl job one day, I'll be dumb as a post.

chezmama

I totally LOVE my job because I am a counselor in an alternative high school where it is very easy to see that what I do makes a difference in a lot of lives.
