I like my job. I do stuff I’m good at, in reasonable comfort, with fairly likable coworkers/bosses, and get pretty good compensation. That said, if I didn’t need the money/insurance/etc., there’s definitely other stuff I’d be spending more of my time and effort on instead. If I won the lottery (which, since I understand math well enough not to play lotteries, is pretty unlikely), I’d ask them if I could switch to a part-time position doing the same work, so that I could spend more time on other projects.
I said “like” for essentially the same reasons.
I love my job . . . now that I work at home, for myself.
This almost to a T.
Short Answer:
I like to buy shit more than I don’t like coming here, so there you go.
Long Answer:
It’s a great job that I can’t really stand, and it pays very well. I don’t love what I’m doing, but I like it about as much as I’d like anything, and it’s not exactly backbreaking labor. Actually, I think that’s my biggest problem with it. I’m a hard man and this is soft work. (I don’t know how to say that without sounding like a jackass.) I like that I know I can do it forever without destroying my body, but sitting in a windowless room at a desk all day is killing my soul. I also can’t relate to many of my coworkers because they are built for this. The second biggest problem is that I’m great at it, which means I get all of my work done months ahead of schedule and then I literally, LITERALLY, just come in and sit in this chair browsing the internet for eight hours a day for weeks at a time, and that kind of has a way of sapping my will to live. But then, money.
I’m past retirement eligibility but I’m still working here. It’s rewarding and challenging plus there is lots of travel to fun places. Also, I have one kid left to put through college. After that though …
I’ve got two jobs one pay beyond all reasonable expectations but I don’t like the work or the people but it lets me do the second job. I love my second job its challenging in multiple ways, fun enough that other people like to come visit me at the office and I’m totally in charge, unfortunately despite taking 50+ hours a week it pays 0.
I’m not really sure what to put down. The job that pays 0 is a start up and will eventually allow me to quit my day job but in the mean time I’m just surviving.
I like my career but I merely tolerate my job. It’s worth the money. And I still get to do things I love, for free.
It’s like one of my kids, except I’m well compensated. It’s rewarding work, I can point and say I did that. But you know how every now and again you want shove that fucker back in a start over…
