Why am I miserable turning on my morning shower every Monday? Are there people out there who get a good paycheck and enjoy their work? Lawyers, accountants, and Wall St types need not respond cause I already know you hate your jobs.
Let's hear from you if you do something worthwhile that you enjoy.

There are ups and downs to every job, and the rebellious streak in me from grade school on has always driven me to want to do anything other than what some authority (boss, client, cop, government, whatever) tells me to, lol. But by and large I really do enjoy my work. Flabbybody, you know I'm a webmaster/designer and part-time photographer, and the work is interesting, challenging and varied enough to be quite engaging much of the time. My biggest problem is building my biz so that I have enough work, but not too much!

I like my job, some mornings I wake up and I'm like "Oh God, is friday here yet?" For the most part though, I enjoy what I do. I'm able to pay my bills and still have a decent amount of money left over. I have to get my master's degree to make more money though, but I'm working on that too.

I like my job....I enjoy the freedom it gives me and the people that I work with, who not only are just friendly people, but smart and knowledgeable in their field, and willing to share that knowledge. I know I could go elsewhere for more money, but what I make keeps me comfortable and in general, no need to move if I am happy.

I like my job, but I do not like some of the people I work with. The hardest person to work with is my boss (spelled backwards Double S.O.B.). He changes his mind all the time and he wants everything yesterday (no clue on REASONABLE expectations). He is harder to hit a moving target.

I love my job. I may not always care for the people I work for (hopefully soon to be just myself) or the people I work with. But I love what I do.

I used to be a computer network security consultant for an oil company.
Nowadays, I'm making adult Internet sites full-time, and I love it :-) (mostly related to the big tits, mature & shemale niches)
Pay is currently not as great as it used to, but hopefully that will change very soon.

I love my job.
Work for myself on my own schedule and agenda (although that often means 7 days a week).
Get to look at porn all day long and make a pretty good living.

I love the field I work in(ceramics). I can see a way to make a lot of money if I keep working my ass off for just a few more years........ Plus I get to listen to loud music all day!

I have work for companies that range from small (20 employees) to enterprises (137k employees) and they have there downsides. I now work for a firm with 18 employees and love it. I can do something different (outside of my normal area) if I just ask, so there ia something new to try. I would not change what I do for anything. Like any job, there are bad days or problems. In a whole I'm extremely happy!

I like the $$$ I make but I hate what I do.
To some it is hard but to me it is effortless and mind numbing work. In an industry full of self-righteous millionaires who were pretty much handed their wealth (trust-fund baby's). Makes me work harder and dilligent so one day I can own myself and breakaway from this corporate beast. I'd eventually like to give Seanchi and the Grooby guys a run for their money; getting paid, fucking the finest tranny's, traveling, and toasting tea on the high seas...

I love my job. It is a chosen career I got into at 35 while I was working a secure Government job that I HATED HATED HATED HATED !!!! My new job is creative I have input into what I do. I feel like I'm playing while I'm at work. I feel like a kid at 39.

You would be hard pressed to find anyone who likes their work more than I do. At present, I run an investment company with my wife and best friend. Given that I have always seen things in numeric terms and relish any strategic challenge, there is nothing in this world to which I am better suited. Within the next four years, I’ll even be able to retire to Europe. Not bad considering I was once a homeless street kid and even did time.

I love my job. I'm a dj on my local rock station. I work overnight so I'm by myself, basically hanging out and playing music. Plus, tons of free shirts and pizza.

I like my job.......maybe because I've been self-employed for 25 years,
and I'm now semi-retired at 51. :lol:

Seriously though..we all spend far too much of our life working to continue doing something you hate.

My Dad always talked about what he would do when he retired, but by then (at 65) he wasn't in good health.

Take a chance, and do something that you will love, and do it NOW.

I said I loved my job! Not today! Try explaining to a client why you can't get a twenty-five year only technology to work! I had to sit there and ????? Why can't some businesses change with the times? I even show them a six month roi & 50% cost reduction and they said 'NO do the old way!'

You asked about jobs, Sorry just bitching!
