do you like your job?

[FL318is]

Love my job. I fly freight in puddle -jumpers. The commute sux. Funny thing is once I get airborne I can see the congestion building. In Florida if there is slight turn or 2 degree grade elevation people have to start hitting the brakes. MORONS!

I have a good gig, but the money is a sticking issue. I took a lateral move when I was laid off about a year ago with an understanding that the money would come in about a year. It's been a year, 3 managers later no one seems too concerned with getting my salary up.

Makes for an unmotivated browntown. I have to start thinking about numero uno.

damn I love that avaitar browntown !

Technically I'm rocking three jobs right now. Two of which bring in money at this time.

I hate my day job as a sys admin. It pays the least of the two paying jobs. My evening job is a web design company I run, which pays me 5 fold what I get during the day, and then my other job is a bit of a startup i'm playing around with that could make me alot of money some day.

Out of the three, the one that doesn't pay me anything yet is the one that I enjoy the most.

53 miles each way, on both I-5 North and 405 North (PNW WA people know my pain)

That same freeway commute in socal is killer as well.

my commute is about 12 steps from my office to my espresso machine

[scabzzzz]

My commute is 5 blocks and I love my job. The perks are insane, the bitches are hot, and the budget is huge. Network admin's dont do anything until shit breaks. Play your cards right, and shit wont break. ;)

Yeah, I really like my job. I transcribe CPS interviews @ $2 a page, anywhere from 10 to 25 pages an hour depending on audio quality. I work from home, get paid well, and my boss is my best friend's dad.

It's put me through college without getting loans, and paying a mortgage.

Ouch man. Where do you work? Redmond?

I lived in Seattle a couple years ago, and made frequent trips to Tacoma. Seemed that they were mostly in the later afternoon too :?

I would have to say that I love both of my jobs.
I'm a chief instructor for my division (about 100-150 Marines), and fly a desk most of the time. I coordinate between the three sections in my division and make sure the chain of command is happy. I get paid well, and the work isn't really that hard. Being a Gunny is the shit, basically.
At night, I deliver pizza. I do this solely so that I can pay cash for my BMW habit. It's great because there is very little responsibility, I get paid to drive like a maniac, and tip money is pretty good. If the tips weren't so good, I probably wouldn't do it, because gas is a killer, obviously. (overall, I would guess that it equates to about $12-15 /hour:tips and min. wage)

I work for myself.

My boss is a slavedriving dick.

Now, this sounds like a good job! Nice and easy. The worst you probably get is sore fingers, blurry eyes, or a headache.

Actually transcription isn't easy at all. Like he said, the quality of the audio is a big issue. You get a bad tape and it could take you forever.

This thread is doing pretty well. I didn't think a ton of people would post.

I dig my Job. Millwright/fabricator/engineer at a hot melt adhesives factory. Pay is not fantastic for what I do but I have a ton of job security and I am afforded a a lot of independance. As long as I get what I need to do done, no one bothers me at all. I have a full machine shop at my disposal at any time as well.

I could go to weyerhauser and do the same thing for $35 an hour but the lack of freedom would kill me.

Whenever you open a fedex envelope or a box of tide laundry detergent with that pull strip you can thank/curse me. I design, build, and repair the machinery that creates that little strip of adhesive coated yarn.
