Now you're just taking words out of context. I wake up every morning looking forward to the day because of how much I enjoy my job. Is it so bad to be on the other side of the spectrum where working is actually rewarding? If I said I hate my job, would you all feel better?

Ask anybody close to me and they'll tell you how often I praise my employer and express my enjoyment of it.

I do love my job. Obviously it has some stress associated but my current situation is perfect. I literally walk like 15min to get to work from where I live. I'm losing weight and I'm saving a lot. So yeah, I'd say I do love my job, the people, and the work.

And TH, just because you worked 30 years at the same job doesn't mean you couldn't have spent those 30 years doing a job you loved.

Do you love your job for any other reason than to avoid hating it?

Does your smile reach your eyes when you do?

Well...it is, for me. I don't go to work with the preconceived notion that I'm going to have a bad day. That's not good for anybody.

I love my job too. I don't wake up excited to go to work in the morning because work is still work and I'd always rather not be working, but it's just the right mix of challenging and fulfilling, and I feel perpetually respected and appreciated by my employer.

I like what I do, it's dynamic and interesting enough. I hate my job to cope with how immoral it is.

Everyone employed person on here would quit their job if they won the lottery.

If you deny it you’re lying.

Case closed.

Nah, they wanted someone good. Story of my life.

And by the way, you're what's wrong with America.

Church, cathedral, Vatican Palace. Except me, cos I couldn't, but I'd sure hire professional help in. Then **** off to the Bahamas.

You know, if you ever get annoyed, and wanna be self employed, it's easy as fishin' to be a musician if you can play sounds kinda mellow. Just buy a secondhand guitar and chances are you'll go far, if you fall in with the right kinda fellows.
