Ienjoyed my work it must be awful if one does not

Im a student Nurse and have always wanted to do this job.I enjoy it most of the time but u obviosly have some very bad days!
Wouldnt change it though, except for if i won the lotto!

I love my job,I'm a hairdresser,Although a few years ago i was going to quit and come out of hairdressing, to study to be a midwife.
I'm glad i didnt though!!!!!

I usually find it is the people I work with that makes the difference to me enjoying work or not rather than the actual job. I have done some boring jobs but had a laugh at work which made it enjoyable.

You must work for the civil service as it seems to be a chant of theirs.

nope i dont work for civil service, but life is hard enough as it is without the hassle of looking for a job, when most oftern its not the job but the people you work with that either make or break it

I dont like my job but it pays the bills?, shoudnt this thread be in the chit chat section?:thumbsup:

I love my job everyday is different I could be photographing kids and animals one day and then doing glamour work the next and the following day doing landscapes and portriats, but now summer is coming I will be doing a lot of close ups on flowers and photogrpahing flower gardens plus insects like spiders,bees,wasps, and any other insect that wants is photo taking we have trouble getting them to pose for us though and the wasps and bees can turn very nasty if you make them stay still. so yes I love my day to day job,hobby and everything it throws up at me including babies being sick all over me.

It’s not really a job I had, it’s our lass. She used to be a buff girl in the factories. She used to have to sharpen and buff the cutlery for Foxes Steel Works. She lost a few fingers, and a few half fingers as well. Worst part is, her hands are still black till this day.

Has ‘your lass’ ever thought of soap and hot water? It washes muck off a treat.

You obviously never worked as a buffer lad. Muck's ground in, like a tattoo, it's not coming out. With soap or chloric acid.

i hate my job and they hate me but hey ho! It pays for sunday nights soo it'll do for now;) :hihi:

I have a love/hate relationship with my job. Sometimes it is ok and it helps pay the bills....other times I could really scream! I was in at the beginning of the life of the company some 16 years ago. It served it's purpose because I only went in to "help out" on a very temporary basis. I was able to set my own working conditions which still stand today......working hours set around school times and family commitments.....including no work during the school hols. lol. I can still hold them to this today even though all my kids are grown up. I also used to work a lot from home so it was all very suitable. Now a-days despite still being able to do more or less what I want I don't take advantage of it. The job is boring but I do have the satisfaction of being treated with the respect deserved as being one of only three "original" employees left. I am classed as an "expert" and my opinions are valued which is quite something in this day and age.
The company went through a sticky patch a couple of years ago and voluntary rendundancies were called for. I applied and was turned down.......they even told me that if they let me go they would have to employ two people to replace me. I used this opportunity to cut my hours down to working just three days a week.....and they had no choice but to agree. At my age it just wouldn't be worth changing jobs.......that is assuming anybody would want me now anyhow. lol. My job is very hard on my hands and elbows and it is beginning to show! I am suffering from carpel tunnel syndrome mainly in my right hand and I was diagnosed a few years ago with a RSI in my right elbow where there is evidence of the joint actually crumbling.
You might all be wondering just what I do for a living? Well.....I repair/ re-furbish and supply the pumps that bring your beer to the bar so I am sure you will all want me to carry on with the good work. lol. None of you would believe just how much screwing/un-screwing is involved in this job......hence the knackered right arm. lol. I am going to shut up now before I evoke a whole load of screwing jokes. lol.

I am.. !!!! I love my job.. and it keeps me and the kids in shoes :hihi:

After arriving in Australia in 1970, I have had a few jobs, Steelworker,Construction Worker & Coalminer, the best job was the one I had worked in for 13 years before getting injured in 2000 and being medically retired.
I worked in a juvenile prison & worked with muderers, rapist's etc etc, it was the best job I've ever had in my life, everyday was different & a challenge plus the money was good too, it kept me fit, as part of my job was to keep these juveniles in line & many times I had to put my body on the line to do just that & protect other prisoners & staff.
Unfortunately my back and shoulders decided they had taken too much of a battering over the years & gave in, hence Med Retirement.

Yes It's in the wrong section and I hate my job.

I love my job. I can do what I like, can go in when I chose and leave when I chose. Can have as long a lunch as I want and tell the boss to go and **** himself and not get the sack. Im a Company Secretary and the company I work for is my husband's!!!! Im one of the lucky ones and am eternally grateful. I used to be a legal secretary before though and I loved that job too. was the best job in the world. So interesting. miss it even. I :gag:

nope i dont work for civil service, but life is hard enough as it is without the hassle of looking for a job, when most oftern its not the job but the people you work with that either make or break it

Nop, its the destination of where the job is gonna take someone which is going to break them because if someone got attitude i.e. in a positive way, nothing can break them. Ad if they had sense, they won't work for 40 years of their lives knowing very well, that what may break them is the pension.

Which means, no retirement cause it wont be enough to stay a float. That one worried me a lot.

I get bored easy and need to ove on especially when your boss dosent appreciate you or people do not communicate. I could do with an ouji board some times to make contact.

my job would be fine apart from the volunteers and the local community, but at least im looking for something else rather than complaining and not doing anything. I really miss my old job of working in a bar oh those carefree days:)

Hi,

Started work at 15 (1952) as an office boy at Davy United. Ended up, 50 years or so, late as an Senior Engineer working for a consulting engineering company in Canada.

I have to admit that my work varied from interesting to really interesting. Got to see quite a bit of the World along the way.

The best part of travelling, apart from the experiences, is you met a lot people that you other wise would never have met. Definitely a bonus.

Regards

Sorry Arthur I didnt mean to offend. Whilst it is for ex pats it's essentailly a site for reminiscing, discussing local history and for finding old friends.
There is also a general chit-chat thread, which is more in line with your topics.

Best Wishes

You are a silly old bugger are'nt you!!

I enjoy working as a porter at sheffield uni. It`s right though, you can enjoy the job more if you get on with the people you work with. I`ve been here 15 years now and the only down side is the students. They might be clever but they`ve got no common sense

Best thing about my job is Super Flexi Time which meant I could take the whole day off today to go birdwatching at Rother Valley.

I saw a Grass Snake - only the second one I've ever seen!

Luckily I'm due to work a couple more evenings in the next couple of weeks so I'll build my flexi up again and take another Friday off sometime.

unless you're a footballer or a rock star, all work is boring!! innit...????

You are a silly old bugger are'nt you!!
looks like I touched a raw nerve.

Love My Job, General Manager Of 600+ Storage Units Plus 150 Rv, Boat, Camper Or Truck Parking. Don't Really Have Anyone Over Us Except The Owner, Very Good Position To Be In, Could Only Do This In The Usa. Get A Free Apartment With All Bills Paid, We Own A House On 3/4 Acre Of Land, But The Renter Is Paying Our Mortgage.

I work in IT though I work from home as head office is a very long way from Sheffield (the other side of London). Like my job most of the time.
