Who loves their job? y?

It's increasingly more difficult, especially on this board, to find a young person that finds their work gratifying in the least. To contrast, that other post asking people that hate their job I'm asking if Ya like your job, You like working there? What's good about it? The work may even suck, or you may suck at it, but the job may pay well, or allow you to do things that make you happy in the end.

i love my job!


i love how it's hands on and physical, and sometimes challenging.
i love how there's so many different ways to do one thing, it makes work interesting instead of doing the same thing everytime.
i love how it's not a really social environment, and it does not involve customer service.
i love how there's always something to do.
i love how i don't have to dress up.
i love how i rarely work with women. how most the guys i work with are chill.
i love how everyone tends to mind their own business.
i love working somewhat outdoors. different places.
i love that it's acceptable to swear, talk back, and scream whenever you want.
i love that things are so straightforward without all that other bullshit.

ehh i love my job, so much better then retail or an office job!

So I don't hate it anymore.

I hate the office itself, but I don't mind the job that I do here.
It's more relaxed compared to everyone else in the department, and it can actually be somewhat challenging at times.
Not to mention that the benefits and vacation time I get here are AWESOME. But I'm applying tonight for a fed. gov. position with even better benefits. Wish me luck! haha

My job is great... I sit in front of a computer all day working on tech support, and get to sit and post on FnK and generally be slack all day long.

And while some of my customers are idiots, some of them are really interesting....
The day tends to zip by for the most part, and it's really chill... and I am working on turning the cool people I work with into ravers.

I seriously love and enjoy my job tons! I've been here for over 5 years and I'm constantly learning and doing new things. From customer service, sales, finance admin, accounting, payroll / benefits, legal assistant and HR. It's great! I know everyone that I work with so well since most of us have been here for quite some time and being a "telecom" company we've definately had our ups and downs together. We're like a family. And I can't complain about the money and benefits either, although it could always be better. Not to mention there's absolute flexibility here - come in when I want - leave when I want - breaks when I want - we are all completely trusted that we put in our time and do our work.

i hate it when that happens.

I love my job in the aspect it puts food on my table. clothes. house. etc. and i get to work almost as much overtime i can handle. I also like the sense of accomplishment i have at the end of the day when im tired and sore and know i did a good job. But there is always negative sides to jobs. Such as bullshit politics and so on.

my job is pretty cool.
i work mostly weekends, so it's busier and i'm not the only one on the floor.
i'm the youngest one there, but so far i'm liking the people i work with.
normally i'm not a fan of customer service jobs and constantly working with others, but this one isn't so bad. i've yet to run into some total prick who bitches about everything, it's great.

on top of everything, pay is good [and will be getting better] and tips are fun.

They just fired the idiot bossman today, so I love my job again. :D

I just got a raise in the last couple of weeks and have been "promoted" (not "technically") to Head CSR. They people I work with are hilarious, and the only problem I have is the ever-present nepotism (the owner's prissy princess daughter is also a CSR, and when something doesn't go her way she goes whining to daddy).

I work in a shitty restaurant, but I still love(ish) it. I work with 50 18-30 year olds who are all so chill, and so fun. I like that I have short shifts, and that I actually have fun while working (because of said co-workers). I like that my job isn't thinking-intensive, because I'm taking 6 upper level university classes, and I need time to not think. I like that all the running around has made me lose weight! I think I like it because I don't do it full-time, and I know I won't be doing it for the rest of my life. :)

Last job I had was working for a video game store playing all the shit (pc/ps2/n64/psx/gc/x-box/gb/gbc) there was a time that I had played every game ever since psx up to the latest ps2 and x-box game and I would burn burn burn anything I could touch we were even doing movies in the back it was off the hook. Then shit hit the fan police came after us I left in the nick of time
Now I work at a porn store surrounded by naked ladies and watching movies all night long and get paid for sitting on my ass having a hard on at work
