TonyJ63Jul 23, 2011My job is varied, and quite interesting. I work on the UK's accounts peoducing & delivering information to organisations like the IMF & Bank of England. The only thing I dislike about it is being expected to perform new tasks without adequate training. It's happened a few times now, and every time it gets more and more annoying. Roll on the lottery win!

karhuukJul 23, 2011I've been in the awkward of loving and hating it at the same time: I loved my work but hate the atmosphere I had to work in. I used to spend my days cataloguing Finnish books and researching Finnish art, history and culture. That, I loved.

SoupieJul 23, 2011I love being a professional actor. There is never enough work, of course. When you have it, it's 12/16 hour days and nights and all over the place and then you can be unemployed for chunks of time. But you rely on royalties and residuals for the fallow times. Acting allows me to play out every profession and character that I can imagine. However, by this point, I hate doing commercials. You feel like a whore of absurdity. But they pay well.

Cheri Donna DawsonJul 23, 2011I used to enjoy working at the School of Medicine - 16 years including office & business manager of the research office and running an undergrad research program each summer. The work I'm doing now isn't great nor is the pay, but the people are nice for the most part, and it's a means to an end (food on the table.) LOL

FlokieJul 23, 2011I have thoroughly enjoyed (almost) every job I have ever done from stuffing flyers into newspapers as a student to bartending to expediting to clerical work. If you hate your job every other aspect of your life suffers and I just can't imagine being that unhappy. Even if I didn't like the tasks I was doing I found a way to have fun with my co-workers and on the rare occasion when I just couldn't make it work - I found another job. I'm currently a clerical worker in a small police detachment and I love what I do. There is enough routine to satisfy my need for order in the universe but there is always some crisis or other popping up to keep things interesting and because it's a small office I do a bit of absolutely everything instead of having to specialize and stick with one task all of the time. I also have a lot of flexibility with my vacation time because I don't need to work around anyone else's schedule. If I'm vacation we simply close the office. Life is good!

JoeyJul 23, 2011I had given up because the general status was that everyone was either out of work or overworked because companies had let so many people go.
Now my opinion is that I'm overworked because the remaining workers are just lazy.
I was out of work for a year and a half ten years ago. So I can't understand why workers aren't busting their asses to make sure they're not fired. Instead, my co-workers come in late, when they do come in, leave early and spend time surfing the web and complaining about how much work they have (that they're not doing).
And what am I doing? My job is essentially to find and if possible correct the mistakes caused by my lazy coworkers.ReactReply - JO

Curt, or CowboyJul 23, 2011I have loved my carreer for more than 30 odd years now. Maybe 40.
Oh, there have been days, but over all I wouldn't change a thing !
These days, there isn't enough work, so being a celebrity does help a bit, but there still isn't enough.
Of course, when you love it, there's never enough.
They say recession, I say depression.
Still, it's nice to have been able to basically play with a hobby and get paid for it for so long.ReactReply - RO
