Do you like your job?

[Omnius]

I'm going back to work soon after almost three months of sick leave. Must admit I am looking forward to getting back to work. I'll let you know if I still enjoy it!

Love is a strong word but when you work for a professional hockey team, it can be an amazing emotional roller coaster. I don't think anything will top the high I felt standing out on the ice with the rest of the staff in front of a sold out arena and being presented with a championship ring with my name on it. On the other hand, this year's playoff push was anything but successful. Our team is currently down three nothing in a best of seven series. Game four is tonight, at home, and we know that 12 hours from now, we will not have a home game until October. Like I said, it's an emotional roller coaster. You don't work in sports if you want to get rich but I can't imagine working in any other industry.

Very interesting! What do you do?

I hate my job, but not the work.

I hate the atmosphere. There's a woman there that thinks I'm the anti-christ, and I can't really figure out why. I've tried everything I can to get her to talk to me so we can work out whatever it is. But, she's non-responsive.

On top of that, if anyone in the office speaks with me, they have offically moved to satan's team, and she won't talk to them or work with them.

There are only three of us in the office.

So, if the poor schmuck that isn't her or me talks to me outside of something clearly business related, she treats him like trash. Needless-to-say, I don't speak to him and he doesn't speak to me just to keep harmony, but it's agony for me because I have no one to speak with.

I hate it. I hate it a great deal.

I like it well enough. The company I work for is pretty good (30 days of paid vacation a year!) and I am on good terms with my managers. I was moved to a more public position two months ago which is a lot slower paced than where I was before. So far, I've ~4 minutes of actual work this past hour and since I do the work as it comes in (no long term projects), there is not much else to do. The worst thing is the hours in that I wish I could come in an hour and a half later. But I have good benefits and good coworkers.

I adore my job/business.

 

[RevDMV]

I've enjoyed my business and the work I've brought in. It's given me a chance to meeting some and work with some good people.

With the closing of NUMMI I've had to adjust my course and now I'm focusing on full time employment in the alternative energy field.

I am a collection agent so my job is not always fun or full-filling. But I am employed, make decent money and have benefits. I am very thankful for this job!

 

[Hugo Rune]

Well, it's rarely dull... but it IS desperately frustrating.

So I live on a bizarre crinkled edge of loving and loathing it.

Gah, what a nightmare. I'm sorry you have to put up with this garbage. Shame that bitch-slapping is against the law, eh?

This is why I prefer working with children. Adults often don't behave any better than toddlers, but at least with children there's hope that they'll outgrow their immature behaviour and become better people. I hope your coworker either leaves her job or has a personality transplant.

I'm looking for a personality transplant. I need her at her job so I can keep my job. In a recruiting atmosphere, an admin asst is only as needed as the recruiters are busy.

But, yeah, it sucks.

However, I have to give you props for working with children. I would never have the patience for it.

Thank you.
