Do you enjoy your job?

[BenBhoy]

I absolutely live for my job. It's more than my job. The pay is shite, but the perks are good.

Unless ill health has a say, then I plan to never retire, drop dead at work & have my ashes scattered there.

Am I wrong in saying you are a full time shepherd?

That's right mate. Employed by a family & then trusted to just get on with it, on my own all day. Love it.

Been a self employed decorator for 25 years but will be working 3 days from now on, can't say iv enjoyed it but it pays the bills

, on my own all day.

Just as well as nobody could tolerate your lefty ideology all day ......even the sheep are depressed

 

[sikamalc]

Yes. But running your own outfitting and guiding business is not as easy as some think. Easing off a bit these days though, want to spend more time at home and with my grandson, who I have got into fishing and deer stalking.

Well, I get paid to do my hobby and I get everything supplied to enable me to do it. I do it with a passion. So I regard it as I haven't got a job, just a hobby. Higher up has mentioned retirement but I enjoy it too much.

 

[Sat Rat]

Absolutely love my day job...!. I've snatched this from the web, as most of my career has been bumbling about in zero visibility and terror!..
Happy New Year all.

I enjoy the job but really enjoy the amount of time I get off

Oil and Gas offshore Norway.

I did warehouse work for a few years and while it was hard graft, I enjoyed the camaraderie. But I realised I am basically unemployable so did the obvious thing and went into academia. Ended up doing ten years on faculty at a leading uni - I loved lecturing and research but in recent years the level of bureaucracy and woke nonsense became intolerable so I left and set up my own business, which doesn't pay much but is great fun.

When I'm ready to retire, I'll cut back to a 5 day week!

 

[Bavarianbrit]

take my hat off to you for tree work is dangerous, youve come out the other end

We lost two locals here near me in Bavaria in December doing felling.

 

[NP435]

I don't hate my job, the commute I do hate 120 miles per day, the rotating shifts I tire of 12 hours switching days to nights.

I have had many hats on from when I left school at 15yrs! the last 8 has been within Adult care mostly within Palliative care to and to be fair this has been on the hole an enjoyable role! but it's come to that time we all think of I have decided to pull the pin and have given my 12 weeks notice. This after a very active working life ! Its become or should I say The care for others has now shown me there is more to living than the words we all say in our heads when we get older! I wonder ,if only, should have ,if only ! as iam not getting younger or fitter it's my time not to get called out meet and deal with the stressful meetings of family etc.
So with the new boat its time to do and not just wonder!.

I’ve taught for the last decade, and am getting increasingly fed up with it. Increased demands and expectations alongside decreased behaviour standards & budgets (for both resources and wages) has made it a joke. I’ll be getting out in a year or two.

 

[NiickO]

Yes, I'm a self employed carpenter and enjoy creating nice stuff and the freedom it gives me (having a work van that doubles as a camper helps). In the next few years I'm hoping to get myself into a financial position where I can have more time off to pursue my passions.

Is he hell, he works in a strip club.
