Do you like your job?
I just got a part time job in dunnes there about 2 weeks ago and it's a total doss:) I hide in the tea and coffee part of the store room talking to people, so i like it:) 2 hours today talking about pointless things like beans on toast....

mad m

Beans on toast hey!!! Not bad. Try talking about milk or the price of miller,you will get atleast 3hours talk time with them.:)

Rabies

What job?
Currently unemployed for about 5 weeks at this stage. Feels weird having the day to myself. Getting a bit bored of it right now.
Going to look for work in the new year.

nesf

Yes, I'm suitably renumerated for my time.

Endurance Man

Iv been looking into these "jobs" lately, sounds like an interesting concept .

the Shades

I love my job, get to act as therapist to some pissed off foreign people and call it teaching. Then again I do actually do some work about once a week

Lump

Do some work you fúcking waster.

MrJoeSoap

Only working 3 days a week these days, its a kind of a stop-gap thing at the moment. Brainless work, but its decent craic. So yeah.

Dave!

It's not bad! I've had worse jobs.

"Like that time..." - cue Family Guy style flashback about being Christina Aguilera's vocal coach or something...

Sad Professor

Only part-time as well but I hate it. Alot. But still, I don't have to care about it, its only a crappy job to help me pay the rent. The thoughts of having a real job/career that I'd have to put effort and energy into really scares me :eek:

I loved my job but quit all the same (it helps being able to walk back into it tomorrow if I needed to).

admiralofthefleet

i love my profession, being a chef and looking at people enjoying somethng that i have created brings out huge pride in me. a wa*ker of a boss can never stop you enjoying a job, if you just get on with it

Black Swan

Yes and no.

You sound like a lazy person Ireland was not built up with people like you thank god

Chinafoot

Love my job (Library Assistant with Fingal County Council) but only been in it a month so who knows what could happen.

The people I work with are all really different, the people who come in are all really nice, the pay isn't fantastic but there are steady increments and fantastic job security, and I get lots of holidays.

\o/

my current job is boring but it requires no intelligence or mental effort so my mind just wanders the whole time.

Mossy Monk

despise it

Huggles

I do like my job, as in the role I play.

Shame about my colleagues

Haha, brilliant.

My job keeps me on the Internet all day, so I'm happy.

Catari Jaguar

I'm a student teacher, and it can be sooo stressful, but it can be amazing, so much fun and great feel good factor. I can't wait to graduate and get my own class. Til then I'm workin one day a week in an aquarium as a tour guide and I love it so much. Best job ever, so laid back and easy, chatting to kids about sharks! I can't believe it's actually my job most of the time.:)

TerrorFirmer

I work part time in Atlantic Homecare while I'm in college, its not too bad. Especially when I'm on the tills, which I was all day today, yesterday and friday evening - just have to sit there, all day long....and talk to customers and whoevers on the till next to you. Great stuff.

Not so great on the floor sometimes though, practically breaking my back trying to lift around 50kg boxes and the like.

daiixi

My job's not too bad and it's actually passable when busy but when it's quiet it's boring as anything.

When the work force is being reduced?

Would be smart to get your foot in the door now man, free Xmas party too. Depends thou on the sort of job ur going for you.

Ye sometimes I love it, other times I loathe it. My boss is usally always a wanker or just a Hard man to deal with. There's perks to it and down sides to it. Bit of a half full and empty situation really.

Kold

Hate my job. Work 6 hours Sat, 9 hours Sunday serving ill-mannered knacks and getting minimum wage. What's more, my boss is always around on weekends with loads of work for me to do.

love my job! receptionist/shop assistant jus get to chat to deady tourists all day and answer phones!

Get off your butt and fix those memory leaks!

the_syco

Last job was dead handy, but sh|te pay, this job is a bit of a challange, but the people I work with are sound, and some of the calls are a good laugh. Also helps that the pay is an extra €300 to €400 a month than the last one:D

cournioni

I didn't know you could have smilies in the poll!

Lust4Life

There ought to be more to the poll.
I love my job. But I want a larger income so I'm going to have to move forward in the next year.


Does your job pay enough?

slipss

Yeah I actually really love my job. I choose my own hours, I have no boss or deadlines. I make more than enough money than I need, It's a sellers market so I can pick and choose my customers, it's in an industry I've been interested in since I was about 12 and there is the opertunity for advancement but only when I feel like it. On the negative side it's one of the most high risk jobs in the world and occasionally I have to work very irregular hours but all in all I think I really have it pretty easy.

No point looking for a job just yet. In a little over two weeks I'm flying from Auckland to Perth for christmas and New Year.
Can't really see the point looking for work now, when I will need a little over two weeks off at christmas to get drunk with Dont Ban Me and a couple of more people

tensecyclist

find my job great!!!;) can't ask for more.

Sounds like gambling to me. That's my dream, but I am too lazy to dedicate myself to it, so in the meantime I have to live with hating the 9-5 grind, albeit for decent enough money.

Red Hand

No, but it's better than doing nothing.

callmealan

I love my job in marine biology, its not only my job but hobby and see lots of really nice places all around dublin and wexford. And when I'm walking along the rivers. Ha, get a load of this one! I get paid for it! LOL

Although I only get an 8 month contract each year, Im fecking broke all the time! I have to choose a lifestyle or a career. ie, it costs to be in a job you love!

pbsuxok1znja4r

It's a nice job, great co-workers, bit of a laugh, but the pay is pathetic...

hunnymonster

I used to love my job. It's lots of hours for not great pay but it was fun... The longer I do it though, I'd be better off working 9-5 for good money somewhere else and keeping the fun stuff for after hours.

Nightwish

I have 2 jobs - one I've been doing for nigh on 7 years now, and although the work and the money is fine, I hate my boss. The second job is boring, not at all stimulating and the money is crap.

phantom_lord

I'm a student who gets all his money from playing poker.

I like my job

exiot

I work in Tesco at the weekends, its grand, nothing amazing. Better pay than all my mates. Keeps me drinking in college
