PostSat Jan 07, 2006 11:57 am    Do you like your job?

I LOVE mine! I may still be in the "honeymoon phase", having only been there three months, but I loooooooooove it.
I guess the main reason is because of the customer service. The main priority is to provide good customer service, even at a cost to the company, and that's totally cool.
The fitness room and free DirecTv is nice, too,

I love my job with a passion. I've worked there a year, and it's more like home to me than anywhere I've lived. It's dirty work... a lot of cleaning, a lot of dead or squirming animals, chemicals, getting wet and cold and coming home smelling like fish... I guess I'm nuts. My boss rocks and the environment is my ideal. I get to work mostly by myself, sometimes with kids, sometimes with researchers, and my boss is one of the most brilliant and amusing people I know. I haven't been paid for the work I've done, but I start seeing a check next week! It can only help.

I like my job even though i'm watching the clock by the time 4ish comes. I repair jukeboxes, pinball machines, arcade games machines, and 8 ball tables. I also design new jukeboxes that go into pubs and they run computer based technology running music videos instead of conventional cd jukeboxes.

Hmm, I had a job over the summer that I liked. It was kind of boring, but at least I didn't have to think.

Yeah, I like my job. It's in a nursery home on two departments; one with elderly people who have severe Alzheimers (it's a locked department, people with such severe Alzheimers want to go 'home', to their parents and stuff, so they have to close the doors), and another department where there are people with physical problems (MS, diabetes, that sorta thing). Sometimes they also have brain damage because of the physical problems.

I looooooooove my job. It's just helping people with eating & drinking, and do stuff with them, games, listening to music, watching tv, that sorta thing.
I really like my job, it gives me a feeling of gratitude. Like I'm giving something back to the people who helped building the country after WW II.

Though this is only a temporary job next to my education, I really like it.

I love my job of course, I am on leave now. I think everybody knows my job. Deb talks about me all the time, so my ears do burn.

I love my job. Being in High School I don't have a full time job, but on Sundays I work at a little zen gift store that also offers massages. I work as the clerk and it can get really boring sometimes, but it's nice and relaxing.

Then on Wendsday nights I work in a live auction which is amazingly fun. It really is a blast I've been working there for more than a year and I'm increadibly comforable there.

I hate my job and have done for a long time. I can't really change jobs or careers, because I'm too old to do that, and set in my ways, but I dislike my job so much. Getting up and travelling to work is depressing as hell. As far as I'm concerned (and I've said this to management), the whole organisation is abysmal and pathetic, and I really don't care what happens at work, as long as I can go in, be miserable, and just get out of the place at 4 o'clock.
