Who else enjoys working?

[ChrisFilter]

It's ok.. it's cushy-ish.. I'm well paid, well respected, and I have quite a lot of control over the company. I often find myself doing random stuff though, and sometimes long for a job like data entry or something, where I'd come in, plug my tunes in, hack my way through the spreadsheets, then clock out at 5:30pm.

Wouldn't get paid enough for that though.

 

[Structaural]

superb

 

[bi0boy]

I wouldn't mind mine if I could do it 2 days a week and have the rest of the time to do hobbies and stuff.

As it is I am so knackered by a 37 hour week (yes I know ) i can't really be arsed to do much else.

 

[northernhord]

I,m enjoying workin at the mo, working with Gypsies and men and women living in hostels.
Ive worked for statutory bodies before and its piss boring.

 

[Termite Man]

Love working is a bit too far but I do enjoy what I do and it keeps me occupied . If I could have more time off for the same pay though I wouldn't say no

 

[andy2002]

My job's a pretty good one I suppose but I only do it to help pay for a roof over my family's head. I don't enjoy it and, if i could get away with it, would jack it in tomorrow.

 

[Roadkill]

I'd go up the wall if I didn't work. I like what I do, although I'm not always sure I like the profession very much, if that makes sense.

I'm not as motivated as I was a couple of years ago, though. Back then I'd happily put in fourteen-hour days. These days I resent doing so, although I'll do it when I have to.

I couldn't not work, though. I like the feeling I'm achieving something. I'd find having nothing to do very depressing.

 

[ICB]

I generally enjoy my job and get a lot of satisfaction out of it, am very happy in my current role and have no ambitions for promotion or moving. Can't quite bring myself to vote "love it" but it's better than alright.

Good cartoon Crispy.

 

[bikergrrl]

It's not so much that I enjoy work as that I really enjoy the company of the people I work with. The actual "labour" part is tolerable.

Also, I prefer it to being unemployed, skint and looking for a job.

I'm with you here. Worked for years-left job to move up to be with fiancee. After first few weeks of excitement at not working, depression sets in along with filling in constant four page application forms, lots of very hard interviews where I am asked at least ten hypothetical questions by a panel to then get rejected and get hassle from job centre along with fuck all money and meeting fuck all new people combined with boredom means a fulltime job seems utter nirvana

 

[Iam]

I like my job.

 

[LDR]

I like working but like Kanda I don't last long as jobs I don't enjoy. Life is too short for that.

One of the best things about work for me is getting to meet people I wouldn't normally meet in my everyday life outside work.

I find the long term unemployed seem to have a narrow range of different types of people within their social group and tend to be more isolated. I'd hate that myself.

 

[oneflewover]

After getting my award 3 years ago for being 25years in the job i stated how much i loved it. Nothing has changed. One of the best parts is the 12 hour shifts which means I work a 3 day week followed by a 4 night followed by a 4day and a 3night. The leave allowance is very good aswell. It's a bit like a part time job with full time monies.

 

[Cheesypoof]

yes, i love it, especially the travel side of things.

 

[Roadkill]

I must be more motivated than I give myself credit for, sometimes: I got up this morning and promptly did two hours' work finishing off something I started whilst away.

 

[guinnessdrinker]

But I am a bit of a workaholic and aren't very good at extended leisure time.

apart from the fact that they seem to be several of you , surely there must be evidence to the contrary from the Albert?

 

[Numbers]

I love working, even at weekends I don't tend to sit down very long. I like being busy and I especially like being good at what I do.

 

[scifisam]

No, I don't like it, but I don't like having nothing to do either. Fortunately, with my daughter and my other responsibilities, my days are full even without work - which is one reason that I dislike it; it takes me away from the really important things in my life.

 

[mentalchik]

Don't mind working, it's a fact of life for me at least but hate my job, sometimes i wanna go somewhere and scream when i'm there.

Have to do it though coz i have a household to support, bills to pay etc etc and there isn't much choice around at the moment it seems !

 

[marty21]

i'm liking it a bit more this morning - just got a letter informing me i've had a pay rise, and my bonus comes through next week too

 

[dash_two]

I like my job mostly and some aspects of it I might even volunteer to do unpaid.

But Structaural's 4-day week, wouldn't say no to that.

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

I fucking love my job

 

[zenie]

I enjoy my job but I'd rather be at Uni

 

[J77]

I could maybe do with people telling me what to do sometimes. However, as for the vast majority of the time, they don't. I quite like working.

 

[myname]

i hate my job, my boss is determind to crush me, or so it seems, under a mountain of work that no one else has wanted to do for the past years. She keeps giving me more and more to do, not one off stuff, more to do as an ongoing thing, i'm totally demotivated, wish i could just walk out.

 

[loud 1]

i feckin love it!

i have a fone interview in a bit.

i aint scared.

i love interviews.

 

[ViolentPanda]

I'm disappointed.

Nobody's answered "your mum" to the thread title.

 

[SubZeroCat]

I prefer working to being unemployed.

Ok, unemployment is feckin lush in the first week or so but if you're having trouble getting a job or even interviews it's frustrating and boring. I think I need routine otherwise I go a bit loopy after a while.

I miss working in a pharmacy - I really enjoyed that job and I was really good at it, my training was going well etc. My emloyers were very encouraging too. *sigh*

 

[bluestreak]

I love it cos I love what I do... ticks all the boxes for me -

Was actually thinking about this the other day about not HAVING to work and I'd get utterly bored sitting at home all day. I reckon I'd have a job even if I won the lottery or something..

this attitude upsets me so much i've actually shed a tear. i loathe working, i love loafing about. i don't actually mind my current job, because i've beehn very careful to get myself into a fairly rewarding role but goddam it if i were to strike it rich i'd quite my job and live the life of the idle rich tomorrow, slowly pissing my millions on good food, booze, drugs and holidays and making poor people do embarrassing things for money. if you win the lottery you can give most of it to me!

 

[hiccup]

I dislike my "main" (office based) job. It makes me sad and depressed and angry having to go there. But then I can't really complain cos I only do it three days a week.

I do one day a week looking after a friends large garden, which is far more enjoyable, as long as it's not pissing down with rain. Can get a bit dull, but I get a lot more satisfaction from a neatly mown lawn than from a neatly filled-out spreadsheet.

I do a bit of freelance web design too, which I do enjoy. Would like to do more of this, but really need to develop my skills in this regard.

Do I like working? Depends really. I don't like having nothing to do, but I don't like doing boring pointless work for a bunch of cunts either.
