Who here enjoys going to work?

[invidia]

Just out of curiosity, who goes to work just for more than the money? Anyone here that actually likes what they're doing and getting paid for it?

I have really been enjoying my recent project. It is my exact area of interest and an excellent chance to make a reputation at work doing what I want to do. I got very lucky to be in the right place at the right time and to have made my coworkers aware of my interests so I could capitalize on this opportunity. Needless to say, I am definitely looking forward to the next 6 months of continuing this project.

Used to, not so much anymore, I'm sad to say.

Yes, anyone who doesn't needs to find another line of work.

I didn't, so I did, and now I do.

 

[sniperruff]

ugh no way.

 

[HardcoreRobot]

some days i do, some days its just work

 

[ponyo]

Not I. I don't hate it either though. Money is great though and that makes everything better.

I definitely like it. Tech support leads to some hilarious stories, I'm sure many of you know. And during the slow hours I get to focus on my studies, so I'm basically getting paid for something that I'd be doing anyway at home. So yes, it's a pretty sweet deal.

I might have to look into that.

It's called work for a reason.

 

[Dedpuhl]

sure. It's way better than my college job AND my first job right out of school (Dept. of Transportation)...

 

[tranceport]

Love it.

Me.

Where's the poll?

This thread sucks because hardly anyone mentions what they do for a living.

I love going to work because I'm unemployed. That is, I'd love to have a work to go to.

 

[MartyMcFly3]

I love my job. Nothing ever stays the same day in and day out. You never know whats going to happen in the 12 hour (or more sometimes) shift you work.

 

[pmoa]

new project is great but im just waiting for transition

 

[LikeLinus]

I love my job. There are days I don't want to go to work (cause I want to be lazy!), but there's really never any time that I just dread going to work.

After 26 years, I still enjoy going to work. I'm a paramedic/firefighter in a small-medium FD in a NW Indiana city. Something different every day, and they scenery is always changing....Getting kind of beat up physically, as i'm pushing 50y/o, and this is a young mans game. I can still outwork most of the snot-nosed-25 year olds but man do I pay for it the next day....

Since 2002 my company has allowed me to work from home full time, so commuting and office politics is a thing of the past. I'm paid very well and enjoy my job.

 

[SSSnail]

My work consists of me traveling to other countries about half of the time (hopefully won't have to do that much anymore), so I do look forward to it. The pay is not bad either, so it's a win win.

 

[Rubycon]

Definitely!

 

[MetalMat]

Its so so, not as fun as when I first started. I think the main problem is that I just dont want to work, I dont want to have to go anywhere unless I want to lol. If I won the lottery I would just do whatever I wanted, probably start a touring band for the hell of it.

 

[Hyperblaze]

I love what I do.

I couldn't think of anything more fun to do, honestly.

Of course there are always things about the job which have a negative effect on you, but such is life. I could think of MUCH worse fates.

As for those who say "it's called work for a reason", I find that's a cope-out and you just haven't found the right job for yourself. You CAN enjoy work if you find something that really interests you.

Note: I've been to jobs which I've ended up hating with a passion. Couldn't wait to leave.

Some people work to live and enjoy life.

Some people love what they do at work and enjoy life all around.
