Working

[Riot87]

Do you like the job you currently have? how long have you been there as well lol.


As for me i work at a movie theater and i can't think of a better place to be. Everyone is chill there and i get to see new movies when they first come out i have been there for 5 years.

I do like my job. I work part time as a school crossing guard. I love the kids and I work a school schedule. I've been doing it 11 years.

Yes, I like my job--most of the time. Pay and benefits are great, I get free books, and am paid to hang out here. November 1st will be my 26th anniversary.

 

[Spideyman]

Retired teacher, but think I am working harder now that I care for the critters. Like my "job". Do what I can for all the creatures big and small.

 

[cat in a bag]

My job is just Mommy. And maid, chef, chauffeur, laundress,....

I do love being at home 99% of the time. Have been tossing around the idea of a part-time job. Just to get me "out there" a little, I have become a pretty good hermit! The library has a page opening right now, but I'm still without my own vehicle. We are getting mighty close to getting me one, in the next few months, hopefully!

But now with me being relied on so much to watch RJ, (which I love to do!) I will probably hold off on the job hunting. Lord knows I have way more than enough to keep me busy right here!

I'm an estate agent (real estate to you guys) and have been with my firm for 10 years now. Enjoy it for the most part, the hardest part is seeing a sale through to exchange of contracts, dealing with stressful vendors and purchasers.

I'm a copywriter with a huge retail store and for the most part I like my job. I'll be celebrating my 9-year anniversary later this month. Sometimes I think about getting another job, but I hate the idea of interviewing and then eventually being the new person. Part of the reason I love my job is because I am so comfortable here, people respect me and I can pretty much get what I want since I actually work hard the 40 hours a week I spend here.

WOW interesting you have an anniversary on my birthday.

I do installations for security systems. The pay is good, the hours are good. It's the first job I've ever had that carries medical & dental insurance. Half the day is spent on route to and from places. Another year and a half worth of experience, combined with my associates degree, and I'll be eligible to enter the management program. I figure I'll stay where I'm at the rest of my life. It's not exactly my dream job but it's a comfortable living, times are tight right now because of prior debt but once everything balances out I'll be in good shape.

 

[Shasta]

I LOVE my job. I make makeup and skincare for a living. How bad could that be??

It'll be even better when I start my new job on Monday and I don't have to worry about sales OR commuting.

 

[skimom2]

Mom/wife (with all the jobs those entail--lol) and writer/editor. Stressful, sometimes, but I love it all.

 

[Neesy]

Medical transcriptionist in a large hospital.
Yes, I like it - it is interesting and I like to learn new medical terminology, etc.
(Yet sometimes I think it is slowly killing me to be so sedentary 8 hours a day, five days a week!)
The inactivity is actually tiring me out so by the time I get home I just want to sleep!

 

[Walter Oobleck]

I am a carpenter. I've been self-employed now for 25 years...started my 26th year 10 JUL 14. There was this once, this old gray-haired man down in Florida, the orphan Ray Diaz, he tells me, Walter, if digging a ditch makes you happy, dig it. I was trying to go to school...and pound nails...at the time. I do have a degree and I did try graduate school...right after Ma passed away from cancer...but carpentry is something I can do and it does make me happy. Today, I installed nine windows. The other week, this lady gave me a two-grand tip. Heh! I still can't get over that. Installed some windows and a big honking patio door for her...and shutters, to roll down over them to protect them from the winds off the big lake. The old man was a carpenter...too...and in a sense, I did learn some things from him. He's passed on, too...like most I know...me...I'll probably get to work till I die and call that retirement...but you take what you can do and no more. Naps work.

I've been working in the financial industry for the same family of companies since I was 19. Waaaaaay back in 1993.

Started in the mailroom stuffing envelopes and have worked my way through the corporate zombie maze to my current position of IT Project Manager. My job is OK, I suppose. Pay is decent. It has good benefits. Do I love it? No. The corporate politics get old in a hurry and it's not very fulfilling. Not how envisioned my working career.

I always wanted to be working in the music industry. Performing or producing. Just didn't work out that way

 

[Grandpa]

I like my job. I've been at it for nearly 40 years now. Someday, maybe I'll get good at it.

 

[Lina]

It seems everyone here likes their jobs... As for me, I am an interpreter, but it's hard to find a permanent job being an interpreter, usually they are temporary jobs, well-paid but temporary. So, to have a "normal" job I got hired as a manager in a publishing house, we are making a magazine. Now I am a chief of this magazine and I've been working here for 3 years... and sometimes it seems things are okay. But there are a lot of problems, first of all the project goes difficult now, we are surviving through a kind of crisis... But what's even worse is my boss, he is a rather strange person and it's hard to understand him, and he does not treat his people as humans, he thinks that we should only work all all the time, day and night and he does not care how hard things are being achieved, I am constatly coping with stressful situations here and that is not good at all. So, I am thinking of quiting this job, some day I will put myself together and go find another job...

 

[Kurben]

I'm currently working as an editor and articlewriter. Doing most of the work from home. I do enjoy it because i enjoy writing but if i could find a permanent work inside my area of education i probably switch. I'm an archaeologist at heart and a job at a museum or writing about it would be ideal. But this is great in the meantime.

 

[Jojo87]

I work in a gas station. I've working there in 4 years now. To tell the truth I like my job, but not my boss. If we could have a better
boss, there wouldn't be anything wrong with the workplace.

 

[EMARX]

I quit school when I was 16. The next day my Father said. " It's time to go to work". I installed siding for the better part of 20 years and now I'm the service manager, shipper/receiver and all around dude for the company I worked for all those years. Like any job it has its good and bad, but the commuting is what is the toughest grind.

 

[GNTLGNT]

...Registered Nurse in a Medium Security men's prison...not a lot of job satisfaction, but I can't find the pay and benefits elsewhere...been there over 8 years and a nurse for around 10....also a Radio Announcer for going on 36 years...doesn't pay well, but I have always loved it...
