How bad is your job?

Mine is really bad and getting worse!

Anyone fancy a swap?

My only (major) problem with work is that it prevents my enjoyment of life.

Other than that - no problem.

At least you don't have to buy any drinks all day

I drove 120 miles today through Abergavenny, Builth Wells and Brecon, lovely country roads, pity the three meeting I had in between spoilt it

Mines quite good, i get to crash cars all day long, very good for anger management!

have fun

sorry just got out of the pool at work !
not very busy doing cars today!
so have been playing with mine today and the pool !

Hi Tim

if you could bring your job to dewsbury, i'd swap.

i really hate my job, and all my friends of old have left.

well since nobody has said that they like or enjoy their work ill be different I LIKE MY JOB there now! Mind you there is a difference between like and love. Some days you think there couldn't possibly be any job like it and then others where the clock just seems to go backwards! I'm just a regular sparky but at the minute we are installing a waste recycle conveyer line were we build and program the control panels. A lot of work but i got others there to do the ignorant work while i build the control panels. very nice work no stress involved!

Bit like my job. Driving roung like an ar$e in my works van and works fuel card (WOOHOO). When I get to where ever I'm going I get to sit down and play with some screw drivers for 30 mins. Then get up, finish the tea the nice customer made me and go do it all over again.MUCH better than a proper job!

I drive a desk...

Seven 12 hour shifts rebuilding a blast furnace at the minute, hot work as the hat, boots, overalls and safety glasses are mandatory at all times. There's a working furnace 100ft away as well and the hot blast has been warming up the one I'm on too. And I do 140 miles a day getting there and back, but at least I'm totally caked in grime when I get home.
I enjoy my job sometimes.

Sounds like time to do something different..
I have the good fortune to be on an (unpaid) leave until November from my occupation. Great opportunity to pursue my pre-occupation (getting some work done on the locost).

I run the techy bits in an IT training centre and have been doing this for the last 10 years. I really really like my job but the new management are making it defunct as of the 10th of August Grrr!

They'll probably offer me another role but to be honest I could do with a change.

See linky below................well,someone has to do it don't they.

Yep. Jobs great. Love it, but can be very tiring. Quite hot on a hot day when we're pouring (bronze mostly) - that'll be a furnace (1350 deg C) at 2 feet distance

Had a crew out filming the casting yesterday (second time in about 20 years). May be on telly later in year

I can honestly say that I loved my job, thought it was the real deal. Telling around three hundred staff what to do. Dealing with a budget of around nineteen million, (pounds that is). And then I retired at the age of fifty four, (had enough in the kitty to do it), been that way for thirteen years now, and you know what, I wouldn't go back to my job for ten times the pay. Retire as soon as you can, you'll find you just dont have time for work, spend too much time enjoying yourself. Regards Ray.

My jobs not too bad. mechanic for the Post office. Very slack at the min though and bloody hot in overalls.

i want out of it though.... Dont know what else to do.

Dan,

Our work postman delivered a couple of months back, and had to keep popping the bonnet to reattach the gear selector. The PO wouldn't pay to fix it. Then they noticed the door was dropping, so lifted it up, and WELDED the hinges in place. Then they couldn't close the door, so they got out the Birmingham screwdriver and adjusted the bodywork

Never, ever buy anything ex PO.

I wouldn't admit to being a mech for them after that

Love my job, Great opportunitys to travel around the world (I don't mind the desert too much) good shift pattern and a modern aircraft that hardly breaks.

ATB Dan.

I was a computer service tech at a Ford assembly plant since 89 or 90. Good job with mostly good people-Only go into my actual employers office ever 5 or 6 years to say hello( I was contracted to ford). Have to say I kind of hated shift work though. One of our vendors asked me if I wanted to work for them fixing metal and plastic embossers and work directly out of my house. Was not realy that hard of a decsion considering the ford plant is likely to close in a year or 2, and that I no longer have to write certification exams every time Bill Gates decides to change the colour of a screen.
There is always a better job out there, the hard part is finding it.

My job'd be great if we didn't have such an apathetic lot of managers who are incapable of making a decision and are always scopring points off each other
Other than that, pays excellent and you aren't exactly chased to perform, but that pales a little when you are bored s*****ss and sick of your bosses.
ANyone know where I can get a job flying kites for £50K+ a year?

I love what i do, I hate what i'm asked to do. I want some direction from my boss, I hate to be told what to do, I love traveling, I hate traveling to much. I want to earn more money, I want to work less hours..
I do make the best out of what i do.
If you hate your job, use it to get money to have fun, if you love your job, enjoy it and use it to get money to have more fun

been in my new job for 18 months (plasterer) and love it,at this time of the year with the heat makes the job a bit harder.i think it helps that im teamed up with a m8 who likes to work hard but likes to have a laugh as well

thats it! If your work mates are good craic and like their job you like your job. If you don't get on with your colleagues the job sucks. I found that out recently. Was working with a pain in the ass for a good while hated getting up in the morn. Now he has left and im working with some pretty dead on lads i don't mind heading out the door.
