Best bits of your job.

[Rhythm Thief]

For me it has to be driving lorries. It appeals to the part of me which is still a small boy.
Either that, or the refreshing lack of bullshit in the industry. I've been driving trucks for ten years now and I can honestly say that I've never had a personal appraisal or had to try and climb the greasy pole in all that time. Oh, and the fact that I can't take work home with me is a bonus, too.
What do you like about your job?

If you ever hear a lorry driver moaning about what a hard life it is, don't listen to them. It's easy, once you get the hang of it.

Going home from it.

Well, I'd hate to disappoint you

That's a good bit of any job, no matter how much you enjoy it.

Working from home in the garden on the wireless......so I can go out for a quick spin at lunchtime on my new Orbea Onix and catch up on jobs around the house ahead of the weekend (already mowed the grass)....

The freedom
The responsibility
The happy customers
The occasional largeish chunks of cash.

Going home early on a Friday

 

[tyred]

Receiving my pay cheque

If it wasn't for that, I wouldn't be here.

 

[TheDoctor]

I work with some great people, and stuff I work on goes into space
My commute is just over a mile on the bike
We have the sort of office where flying model helicopters at lunchtime and landing them on the filing cabinet is seen as normal behavior.

 

[JiMBR]

I'm lucky enough to share an office with one of my best mates...that and if Carlsberg did bosses.

 

[Rhythm Thief]

Just couldn't see myself still doing it in 30 years and the only way to make a career imo is either owner driving (where you taxed upto the hilt) or becoming a transport manager

I never wanted a career, as such. As long as it pays the bills I'm happy to merely have a job. Having a career is a sure fire way of getting onto the greasy pole, and it's no time at all before you find yourself sitting on the train on your way home on a Friday night with the table in front of you covered in paper and saying into your mobile "well, I'll get this done over the weekend and we'll talk about it Monday morning". Not for me.

Sod that for a game of soldiers.
