Not to rep the negative,but does anyone really like there job.I hardly know anyone that works a 40 hour week and enjoys what there doing.Any thoughts out there?
I manage the operating room software for a large hospital system. I like my job quite a bit. I get to wear scrubs all day and chicks think I'm a Dr.
I'm an engineer for the state DOT, don't particularity enjoy my job, but do absolutely love my 37.5 hour work week and ample amounts of leave.

worddd thats my kind of job. if anyone watches scrubs for a while i wanted to be a docotor to be like that on tv
I am a Heavy Truck Mechanic for Pepsi. I love my job 40 hours a week , Great Pay , Great benifits and time off.
I work in the radiology department at the Veteran's hospital in east orange. I like helping out the vets who have given so much but I hate working so far from waves. We do get plenty of vacation time though.
I manage a restaurant in La Jolla, CA. My dining room has a panoramic ocean view of the cove etc... I must say, I love coming to work. I work mostly mid-day/nights from 1 or 2pm until about 10pm, so I surf everyday and have a sick setup at work. I started managing restaurants for this company in SD about 5 years ago, and I have LOVED every day at work. I mean, maybe not love, but I never care about coming to work. I am ALWAYS happy when I leave and I do well at what I do. For the amount of money they pay me, I couldn't imagine doing anything else. Enjoying good food, wine and people while still revolving my life around waves.... There are like 5 world class reef passes and Blacks all within 2 miles of me, so before and after work, I am in heaven.... Like I said, tho, I moved from OC MD area 8 years ago and I was a 9-5er back then. I hated it. I did investment banking, I did computer programming, web design. I mean, I have a Computer Sci degree from Towson, yet I have never found a job relating to computers that I like.... I began serving table in SD about 8 years ago, making 2-300$ in one night. So my life for about 3 years was, work a day or two, pay my rent, then take as much time off for the rest of the month and go to mexico. Surf baja for a week sometimes. I did that for years, loving life, surfing all day and travelling over the border pretty much every week. Getting video, photos and all that. Then at about age 24-25, I starting thinking about marriage etc... So, I started managing for the company I worked for. Never been happier. For a surfer, anywhere. Stay in the hospitality industry. You can travel and relocate ANYWHERE if you are in the business. anywhere.
I like mine, but I'm self employed. Work on the beach everyday May to October. Long hours, maybe 12 per day 7 days a week. There are a lot of breaks in between and I usually get to surf every swell at some point during the day.
Lemme guess - auto lunch? Such bull Dr. Pumpmaster haha Me? I just work in a hotel. Nothing special. I like to keep it simple.
as mentioned in a previous post, i teach high school english & creative writing. while i can't say that i love every minute of it, i enjoy enough to say that i love my job. yes, there are times that it sucks in some way or other. (right now being one of them...the semester is ending & i'm up to my ass in grading & writing exams). that said, the kids are fun & funny (whether they know it or not), i like (most) of my co-workers & bosses, the school isn't far from the surf, so i can get a surf in after work most days, & it pays well enough for me to travel regularly. not to say it's easy...i work my ass off & i keep a part-time job on weekends & in the summer, but its at a local surf shop, so its pretty laid-back. i worked all sorts of jobs since college, before figuring out teaching was the right path for me-assistant coached cross country & track at a college, worked construction, managed a gym/health club, lifeguarded, was a dog trainer, substitute taught...you get the idea. but i've never been one who stuck w/ a job that i hated. once i came to the realization that i disliked the job, i was out of there. life's too short & we spend too much time at our jobs to hate it. i'd rather be happy than rich any day.
Currently BACK at my job working for a mechanical construction company managing the blueprints and documents. Hate it? A lot of days. Like it? Some days. It's paying pretty well especially for a job out of college (back in 08') but realized quickly I cannot sit at a computer/desk for the rest of my life. Currently just started school again for teaching. Will probably take about 2 years but that's fine... I'll be 25 by then and don't think that's old at all.
Ive worked in several fields, and never could really find one that clicked for me. started as a glass mechanic's assistant at 17, did that for several yrs, then went into surveying, that job was great for exploring the area, but sucked in the fact I hardly ever was able to get wet due to the hours. (if I was lucky, there would be barely 2 hrs of light when I got off work....) but I did see a lot of awesome natural beauty. finally couldnt take it anymore and went into the hospitality industry as a kitchen monkey (at first) then as a line cook, then as a kitchen manager. I did that for over 12 yrs and I would have to say it gave me more water time than any other job. I worked mainly from 2-4pm until 12-2am which gave me most of the day to surf. I could even travel a short ways up the coast (it was usually 2-3' bigger N of me) what killed that was someone leaving 22 qt's of boiling soup stock too close to the edge of a counter that fell over onto my foot, causing permanent damage to the tendons/ligaments, so now I am unable to stand for more than an hour or so. after that I got back into the windows/sliding glass doors field, working with my brother. I did that for a couple of yrs and then branched out onto my own, doing maintenance and repairs on windows, sliders and screens. best job ever.... period I am my own boss, I set my own hours, make up my schedule and make far more $$ per job than I ever could make working for someone else. the downside of it is Im also the one looking for jobs for myself, which sucks at the moment due to the economy. unless something is fully broken, a lot of people are letting minor things slide.
I'm a teacher and so is my wife. I wore many hats, but teaching gives me a sense of fulfillment that no other job offered. It means something. Anyone who thinks that we have the summer off is wrong, but the shortened schedule is nice. Lots of family time, and since we live on the beach its all butter. The kids run around on the beach everyday, and are getting the childhood I never had.
My MAN!!!! Okay, so, my roomate was really drunk one night and threw a skateboard at our sliding back door. it shattered one of the windows on the inside, but the second layer on the outside is fine. As someone in the industry how much would it cost to fit a new sheet of glass into it or would it be cheaper to just buy whole new door. Any help, or prices would be super..... hes planning a trip to bali in may but i dont think he realizes this is gonna cost about $1,000 Thanks
