Who else really loves their job?
 

Most days I can't wait to get there. For now I guess I am one of the fortunate ones.I guess it stems from liking the people I work with, a few who are good friends and basically loving what I do. A lot of people have told me you can't get respect of employees laughing and cracking jokes,but guess what? I can't think of one that wouldn't do anything for me. At least I can be myself at work and here:p wish the same could be said for time spent at home.

You're lucky Gary. I use to enjoy my job but it's changed so much over the last 5 years it's not fun any more. Plus we're all home based so you don't even have a chance to socialize with co-workers.

Good morning Hank. Waving

Good morning Gary. It's a beautiful day here. I actually have a little work to do today, just answer some technical questions in an RFP. Then get out there and cut the grass before it rains again.

Beautiful here too! Might sneak out of here for a while and get moms grass cut.

I have to say I really do like my job....don't get me wrong it has it's days but overall I'm very happy with my career choice.

For over 30 years mine was pretty good. Guess I can't complain if I have to put up with a few years of crap.

I like what I do (automotive product designer). I used to love going to work until the computer age hit. The days of drafting on the board where the best I ever had. You could lay down down some lines and take pride in what you had when it was finished. The computer took that away. It still has it's challenges, but the art side is gone.

Mine is like poison ivy under your eyelids. :p

Hang in there Jake, things will improve. In the mean time I guess I you just have to do what you have to do to take car of your family.

I enjoy being outside all the time and have travel to all kinds of places becuase of my job. It was the office part I hated for ten years and now I'm doing what I love to do.

No stress, no politics to put with, just go out and do my job. It's great.

When I think of it the only job I liked was painting.Was my first job and worked for my dad doing residential and comertial painting.Wasnt easy and he rode my ass but no bs.After he and my step mom split up he went to cali and I started my automotive career.Did it for about 8 years and was working at a chrysler dealer when an opertunity to drive tractor trailers came up.10 year of that fun stuff and had enough.Took a job at a gm dealer and after about four years of that the econamy took a dump and there wasnt enough work comming in to make the money I needed.Went to driving again and the company had lay offs 7 mounths later.Now unemployed for 4 months now and not sure what to do because both industries suck.

Can you get back in to painting again? Start small, advertise in local papers. We always look there first, try to find local people. That's where we found an electrician to replace the main panel and the company that just did our roof.

I agree, I wish I could find someone to paint my house that was reasonable, a couple years ago I had a company paint my living room and kitchen (18 foot ceiling in the living room and I'm not to wild about heights) and the best quote was $1500 and I pay for paint. Then when the work was done, it was one kid (about 20) that did the painting and it took him 3 full days and I fiqured if they were paying him $20 a hour it cost them $480 to pay him...the rest went for profit for the guy that hired him. While I understand everyone needs to make a profit but that is out of line if you ask me. I rather pay someone who knows how to paint and has the equipment and pay them $50 a hour and they make the extra.

Im thinking of doint that.The start up cost is small considering you dont have to rent or lease a bulding.Im suposed to be helping my dad this mounth with a job in mass.Want to run the idea of helping him more even if I have to travel to Michigan so he can teach me how to give good price quotes and get back into it.Mabye even see if he would want to expand his existing business to the east.Only good thing about being unimployed is it gives me a little time to figure something out.

I love my job like I love having chronic pain.

Both suck ass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:mad:

Hi Carl! My dream is getting closer to reality every day!

I love going to the office. Turning my own key is great. I've owned my company for 17 years now. 9 employees count on me to eat and pay their bills. It's gratifying to watch my creation work and grow. Lot of pressure but I deal with it through my family. Especially my Grandkids. Awesome. I thank God everyday for my life.
