Does anyone actually enjoy their job

It’s alright, I’m bored of it at the moment. Might need a new role, company is canny, everyone’s a hypocrite like... but that’s normal isn’t it?

Chair’s got wheels, 2 monitors, 37 hours a week. 6minute commute... not horrendous

I used to be like the others but some drone on about low level trivia e.g. what colour their kitchen tiles are, or what their kids have done. I have my own problems but I ask on here or even refer to experts, rather than bang on about it to colleagues. I think that many are looking for affirmation of their inane life decisions.

I think most are mate. I think they become some form of Crucible where peoples' hang ups/traits get magnified. Having said that, I had a psychiatrist as a customer once, once he divulged that, there was fuck all conversation in the car apart from directions and fixes. Ah was shit scared of getting sectioned. "Did you have a good day yesterday?" "Fuck off, turn right at the end of the road, and no I did not mention sex."

I loved my job, fantastic money, hours were great and flexible, retired at 50 and I love not working even more than working, long time dead, fuck working to the grave, I enjoy life.
 
Like mine however firm is full of politics at the moment, a lot of people moving around in the industry

The civil service is notorious for loads of nosey old ***** who cant help but ask questions about people , alternatively, feed them a load of shite
 
Depends what day it is. f***ing hate Monday’s and Wednesdays due to the classes I get and the meetings I have to attend.

The rest of the week i don’t actually mind getting out of bed to go to work.

I love and hate mine like.
Great money, great prospects and i love being in charge.
I hate that I’m on call 24/7 and I know people say that but I really am.
I’ve been fishing/at parties and had to drop everything to go in.

So are you teetotal then? Must be shite that.
 
Only been in my current job 2 weeks but I enjoy it so far. More money and less responsibility than the last one, office is much more relaxed and the subject matter is much more interesting (or rather the non-financial stuff is, there’s only so much excitement you can get out of monitoring budgets).
 
Love it, but rather not be there.
Shift work which I love, but working weekends often is a shitter, as is nights and early early mornings.
However I then love finishing early and having days off midweek
 
I don't like hard graft, but a job where I did the square root of fuck all would feel like I was wasting my life even more.

I'd love a job I was passionate about, but they all end up being repetitive.
