Do you enjoy your job/day ?

[gavgav]

With a full complement of staff in our team it would be a yes, but working in the NHS with a 50% cut in my team and doing my old job, new job and half of 2 previous people's jobs then at the moment I detest it. Seeing the way people drop into director level jobs and get away with doing sod all as well doesn't help

Love and hate mine.
Maintenance engineer. That covers everything from clearing blocked toilets to working on 3 phase electrics, fault finding on machinery, breakdowns, servicing, admin, periodic tests such as emergency lighting etc etc etc. The myriad of things that can go wrong in a big factory always interfer with the day to day stuff you have to do, no day is ever the same, very few days are boring.
I rate my day as one of either...easy (rare)...no stress busy ( the best kind)..or stressy busy...where youre very very busy, cant resolve stuff, day to day stuff has to be put to one side but it's still in your head, thankfully those days only rear up maybe a few days a month but you do go home somewhat stressed.
Time management....impossible. your ass belongs to whoever the next job happens to come from?

I love what I do but sometimes the demands to have design work done and back in totally unachievable timescales along with all the other tasks can take its toll.

The issue is its just me in the marketing team and design team and with 6 sales guys trying to get orders and the never ending marketing needs I do find there aren't enough hours in the day.

Good days, bad days.
Currently doing agency work driving HGV's to supplement a pension from a previous job.
Some days driving can be hell on earth when you're doing multi-drop in somewhere not designed for artics (i.e. any city or big town), and having to open and shut 40 ft curtains in wind and rain, begging some fork lift driver to actually do his job so that I can get on with mine.

Other days it can be great; driving around some of the more scenic parts of Scotland with the radio on and all is good in the world.

I am glad I only do it part time though; the hours some of those full time guys have to work to make a decent wage is obscene. I do 2 or 3 shifts per week and that usually equates to somewhere between 25 and 40 hours. Some guys do 6 shifts per week (actually 11 shifts every 2 weeks to stay legal).

Mostly enjoy and get job satisfaction, which is most important to me.

 

[Postmanhat]

Mostly yes, and (sods law) just at the point I really started to enjoy it Organisational Change has kicked in and looks like I'll be in a new post come April, if not sooner.

Was saying today they must have implanted some sort of 'happy' chips in us. As soon as you start enjoying yourself, and the light goes off in the control room, they move you

Yeah. Nobbers.

Mine would be perfect if it wasn't for the management, the customers and my colleagues.

 

[colly]

I enjoy what I do (most of the time). It's varied, I like the people I work with ( that would be me). I enjoy meeting my customers, I enjoy the fact that they appreciate the job I do. It has it's downside and aspects I'm not keen on but I can live with that.
.
Ok the money is crap on an hourly rate, I start early and finish late quite often. I'm never done, there is always something to attend to. When I'm busy, which is almost always, it's manic, when I'm not busy there is no money coming in. I never know from month to month quite what I'll be making.

Very occasionally I'll get an itch to do something else, like maybe get a job where I can get in in the morning, go home at night and forget about it all other times, but common sense prevails and that soon passes and I realise I would hate to work for someone else.

Even when I retire I'll still be doing odd bits here and there.

 

[growingvegetables]

I thoroughly enjoy what I do, on MOST days (any work with troubled adolescents has its truly hair-raising days and its griefs --- but the huge positives keep you going).

The biggest bonus - that my wee contribution is appreciated by management, colleagues, and most importantly, the students. But that's the freedom of being on supply. Disconnected from the tidal wave of paper and initiatives that do so much to kill the morale and creativity of the permanent staff. FREEDOM!

 

[biggs682]

as many have said it pays the bills and provides an excuse to ride a bike to and from work

its better than all previous jobs and when i walk out at end of day i can leave work behind rather than take it home like before

 

[Accy cyclist]

Nope, but I've less than 3 months to go so I'll grin and bear it.

What then Drago? Something like this maybe? http://newsexaminer.net/politics/u-...pay-500kyr-no-background-or-history-required/

Enjoy my work but hate the job if that makes sense . Enjoy what I do but the politics and management culture of more for less and get the job done don't worry about customers satisfaction drives me mad .As I want to do a quailty job which takes time so I get hammered for being a poor performer
