I mostly enjoy my job, though it can go from very interesting to downright revulsion very quickly (I work for a forensics company).

 

It pays the bills and apart from the 50 mile commute each way I'm very happy

I love my job, but that's a product of being self employed so I choose who I work with and who I work for.

Since being self employed 7 years or so ago, I have never not looked forward to going to work.

I have previously been employed and hated it.

 

:stupid:

 

Same here, went self-employed about seven years ago too. I was doing some work with a customer the other day and had one of those "I love my job" moments, it was a really nice feeling and I did feel quite lucky.

I would least like to work for a massive blue-chip company I think.

I enjoyed the army - full career and then started for a delivery company in Newcastle. Hated it to the extent I felt physically sick commuting in every day. I bit the bullet, resigned and now work as a commercial diver in Scotland working a half week for fantastic money, in a fantastic beautiful location. No stress, traffic, crowds of people or spineless bosses. Life is now perfect.

You won't get paid if you disappear without notice mind.

 

EDIT: For the notice period I mean.

 

They made an error in my contract I never told them about that says I have to give them no notice, it's just blank.

 

Edit - I know it's burning bridges and all that but even if I gave a months notice they wouldn't take me back because they would be annoyed I left in the first place.

Used to love mine until the general manager changed,

 

Personality clash, he hated me, I hated him,

 

I was an HGV driver, so only had to put up with him very rarely,

 

He changed everything in the job, not for the better, he had a very strong dislike for trunker drivers, but loved delivery drivers as he worked his way up from one.

 

He suspended me until was told he couldnt, tried to sack me but was told he couldnt....I was a thorn in his side :innocent:

 

An injury finally put paid to me working there.....

 

I got on really well with all the other managers bar him, so I know it wasnt me...

 

I left in 2008, in all honesty I wouldnt have still been there anyway...all because of him

 

:shaun:

I have worked in cardiac care for 27 years looking after the British public . By and large have had the staff and resources to do a good job and ensure a good job is done by junior staff . I am increasingly shackled by paperwork and audit plus loss of experienced staff due to poor shifts and pay freezes. How can you not love a job when you can promise a ww2 veteran you will ease his pain and breathlessness within 15 minutes and deliver on the promise ? Thankfully , patients can spot the deadbeats a mile off .

Love is a bit strong, but I do enjoy my job. See the boss about once a fortnight, Just get phone call, e-mail, or text telling me what needs fixing and where.

Very satisfying to get a piece of equipment running again after some "thud nut" :mad: neglected and bodged it for 5 years and then wondered why it broke down.

Oh....., and working 3 or 4 days a week helps :yahoo:
