I'm not enjoying my job at the moment, lets face it you have to spend a lot of time doing it so it has to be somewhat enjoyable. Or am I like everyone else and should I just put up with it???? Who has job satisfaction????? Or is it a myth????

dont look here i dont even know where im working week to week at the moment

I like my job and actually found myself missing work whilst on holidays. Only a little bit. I've done jobs I hated, but life's too short to spend 8hrs a day doing something you don't like

Same here

More than happy to do my job

people a cool - we are friends without over socialising.
You can have pressure - call every one a f%ckwit and then be friends again the next day

fair bit of pressure - but i am paid well. Job satisfaction is a large part.
NO ONE wants the responsibilty of continually winning work with margin in it.

thats cool - just means job security for me :jesus

I think that barls will agree with me here, try having a job where you can not take a sickie, or rock up late and get away with it, or talk back to the dickhead in charge of you without the threat of losing part of your pay, having to do meaningless tasks or even the possibility of being put in Jail.

so i say if you don't like it, then look around elsewhere. You never know, that dream job may only be around the corner. :thumb

yes i may get out and start my own used car lot Barls bugs and buses

I got a very kool job...well it would want to be as I started there in 85:party

Well my job now is looking after my babies. I miss the adult interaction (probably explains why I am on here so much) and I hate doing housework but I can't quit.

My jobs alright, and I work with PPL that are about the same intelligence level as me! I work at a primary school.
Rob...

heather, i am sure you looked shweeter than your avitar or was it my beer eyes @ valla

Andy

i had some seriously heavy makeup, hope no one noticed the 'tide line' don't know why thor and i didn't pick up..lol :vader

Well at the moment i make alcohol for a living so how bad can it be :duh :duh

I have been painting for 20 years and I'm still liking it,what the hell is wrong with me? Great locations,every day is different,jjj on the radio all day....what more could a man want (besides more money)? I've mostly worked for myself and that probably explains why I'm still broke, but happy. I once tried out as a freelance gynachologist but I couldn't listen to the radio and concentrate at the same time!:puke

dubcab i envy you. JJJ on the radio all day.
I am forced to listen to comercial crap by my co-workers

To date I am yet to find that dream job that I love. I enjoy my work and it is a means to and end (funds my vw addiction). Maybe one day owning my own business will make it more enjoyable (that way I can work four days a week, go surfing in the mornings etc etc etc)....ahh to dream...

i have to listen to repetitive relaxation style instrumental crap

i enjoy my job, but would enjoy it more if certain people would do theirs.
id also enjoy it alot more if they didnt fire one of the trained guys to employ 2 untrained guys who just happened to be sons of the doctors that work there.

I guess this means im not really enjoying my job at the moment.
Bastards.

When I was a boy I had the obligatory train set.
Now I got real ones. I love it, 15 years on freight, near 3 years on passenger trains.

The big coal trains are about as close to absolute power that we mere mortals will ever get.
They are bigger now, but the last ones I drove were 1.7 kms long, 7500 tonne gross, with 12,000 horse power at your fingertips.
There really is no feeling like one these monsters inching it's way out of a mine.
At 80kph it will take it's own length to stop in an emergency, so anything that gets in your way is history.

Passenger trains don't have the same sort of feeling, but I enjoy them just the same.
On any given shift I've got 2000 to 5000 lives in my hands. They probably don't think about it any more that I do.
The sights you see can make your day.
A man got on at Carringbah on Tuesday, in a mini skirt, stockings & knee high, high heel boots. & yes, I did say a man.

The down side of my job is, jumping in front of a train is still the best way to commit suicide. Very messy business.

The best part is, I'M ON LEAVE, NO WORK TIL 5TH OF THE 10TH.

I like my job
Work for the government. I do an 8 day fortnight which is great every second weekend is a 3 day-er.
No bosses here today or tomorrow and when they are here they have no idea what I do so they leave me alone to get on with it. Can be a bit stressful making sure the ships we are loading makes the right tide but thats just a small part of the big picture. Money is really good,conditions are excellent can't do better 'specially without uni degree !

Bloody hell Spook you will nedd to be re-trained when you eventually go back to work.

even though i have to work by some stupid rules i do like my job,
I just can't understand why people that i work with and provide a service for treat me like shit?

hell, i only pack thier PARACHUTES for a living.

Was that meant to be a pun??

No, 6 months off the road before that's necessary.
I'm tossing up doing a fortnights work for one of the little private freight companies. Just to keep my diesel qualifications intact.

Sorry it was an attempt at a pun

Being a greenkeeper I get to play with $1.5 Million in machinery , buy $350,000 worth of new gear every year, when it brakes we have a full time mechanic and fully equiped workshop.
The rest of the time im on the coarse doing what ever job I want on the day, finish at 2.00 the go for a surf or if there are no wave play golf at one of the most exclusive golf clubs in Australia on a a redoveloped course that we put $8.5 mill into over tha last 2 yesars!! Or I can play with my mate a t Royal Syd0ney, The Australian , the lakes , where ever FREE!!
And as grass doesnt grow in winter I have 30 odd days sking every gear.
yeah I love ny job

Ok you win
Now I am depressed just to be here.
I am being flown to Brissie next week for a Oil Spill Conference......thats kinda cool 3 days of just sittin around listening to people rabbit on about stuff !

being a electronic tech in the navy just one piece of equipment is worth $2.5 million and we have 2 and all my tools are issued to me and i get free travel to all the exotic locations

Mitchell
Which course do you work on?


I love my jobs.
I wouldn't give up my primary job for quids. Great job satisfaction and very challenging & exciting.

I find my 2nd job very rewarding and get heaps of stimulation from it, plus the hours are very flexible.
