Its not really hard to motivate yourself when you love your job

dey tuk our jeebs!!

Simple. It's got to be my boss burping and farting all day. He's trying to pass kidney stones this week so it should be interesting.

On a serious note though if this persists I'll wrap my laptop round his ****ing face...

What motivates me is when i look/read news and there is constantly a story on unemployment.

I am 100% gratefull to have a job and get a wage into my account every friday morning, without fail. I always took things like this for granted, now im counting my blessings!

I used to be like that, but now when I'm the only person in the town getting out of bed at 6 AM to drive 80 miles to work while all around me people are tucked up nicely in bed and not too upset that they are getting a generous dole financed by myself and other taxpayers it wears a bit thin. You seem them roll out of bed at nine to do the odd cash in hand job when it comes around.

When you open your wage packet and see a reduced salary with the same stoppages - tax, PRSI, income levy, pension levy, pension payments all coming out, you're not left with much.

I'm nowhere near 100% grateful as it's almost nearing the point that I'll be better off on the dole, more time with my kids, no savage commute and less stress

I hate my housemates...

I kid they're my mates (One posts here).

What motivates me every morning is the chance that I see the sexy Brunette driving the Mini on my route to work.
When I see her car in front I speed up and pull in infront of her on the dual carriage way so I can glance at her from beside and then look at her in the mirror.
Sometimes, I have to pull in behind he, but thats ok because I can see her lovely big dark brown eyes in her rear view mirror.
I really want to meat her, and sometimes I wonder if when driving in front of her I would break hard so she would tip me from behind slightly that we could start a conversation and well you would never know from there.

The banter with the workmates...

Well my 1.5 hour commute I love....but what really gets my dick hard is the irate customers

I don't mind going to work...it's when I get there that the problems starts.

Here is a sensible reply.

I go to work because I spent time unemployed. It is a scary place to be. You dont know when you might earn enough money to pay a bill. You are afraid to get sick because you might not be able to afford to pay to get better.

You spend each day praying for a job. I actually prayed a number of times and begged fate to help me out.

Now my missus is out of work on long term illness after major surgery. Her employer does not have a sick pay scheme so we are back to square one.

I go to work because I MUST!

TBH, it's something to put on my CV and I can't think of anything better to do with my time right now(not least anything constructive I mean).

I'll take your job if you'd like to go on the dole.

I too am grateful to have a job. I still hate it though.

kfallon

The only reason I get up early in the morn is cos I'm usually touching cloth by about 8.30am.......either that or I got a serious pisshorn I need to get rid of :eek:

LenaClaire

I get up because I actually like my job right now. My co-workers are fun and my boss is really laid back so as long as I get my work done there is no stress.

So much better than my last job

People on social welfare depend on people on social welfare too, they pay tax aswell.
Dont see why you are picking on people unemployed, do you wish they got nothing? Why dont you mention the waste that goes on? Billions in waste over the years.

Wompa1

For the last 2 weeks I've been coming in late. I wake up and could not be arsed coming into work. I don't have kids, I'm not supporting a wife. I support myself and my parents would not be able to support me. They also did away with my room in their house shortly after I moved out 8 years ago.

I work because I have to but think I will plan an escape somewhere down the line and work in, that I go on the dole for a couple of months before I leave to try and recoup a little bit of the huge amount in taxes I have paid.

I'm paying more in taxes now then I survived on while in college.

squeakyduck

1 - Moneys
2- The amount of fun I do have with the people I work with.
3 - Never wanting to be unemployed, or standing in a dole queue.

cbyrd

I tried to be retired.... for 7 months.. but the calls from people wanting to employ me got too much so i went back to work for 2 days a week.. and sure, it's great fun having power over men...... when you have a sharp scissors in your hand.... they agree with me on nearly everything :pac:

I have never been unemployed.. that's the joy of having a skill that can be performed almost anywhere

Don't you get a medical card? I work and I'm afraid to get sick. I simply can't afford a doctor's bill on top of all the other bills, let alone if something serious happens.

Anyway, I work 'cause it's what I've always done. Sometimes I wonder if I'd be better off on the dole for a while (especially when I'm trying to study and just don't have the time with work) but it's the fear of the unknown that stops me packing it all in.

Unwilling

Fear

I guess I could pack in my horrible horrible job (it's not the work it's the place and ambiance)
But I think it would be unfair on my husband to financially support us and carry the bills.
Also in the age of recession and so many people out of work - it feels selfish and ungrateful to pack in a job!

The extra money is nice too affords us a decent lifestyle and little money worries - that would change on just one salary.

Asphyxia

I have to disagree I love going to work! Only started about 2 months ago but the best job I have had in awhile I work with kids 0-6 years giving little Art classes and other bits and bobs it's so fun

candy-gal1

imho, everyone will hate their job eventually! I mean there are a few jobs which i would LOVE and i would take them in a flash but i know that after some long time id probably hate it. Money is the goal of working tbh, if you enjoy it then thats a bonus!

A single person with no kids is pretty unlikely to get a medical card, I was told I wasn't entitled to rent allowance or a medical in my area unless I was on the dole for more than six months. I really hope its not going to come to that though as its just starting to keep me awake at night after 9 weeks.

I get 196 on the dole per week and that works out as about 850 on average per month. Out of that I must pay 500 on rent, 500 in loan repayments, a mobile phone bill and feed and clothe myself. Luckily I have redundancy to back me up at the moment but it won't last forever so I doubt many people can drink that much on the dole. I don't think it fair to begrudge them a few cheap cans a week.

Ladies gym above where I work inspires me to go to work. Perfect view of them walking in and out. Perks me up anyway.

Well now i'm home,

I didn't mean to offend anyone on welfare it was just a joke i seen on facebook.

I spend about 2 weeks unemployed (though not on welfare) and it really messed with my head so i can feel for people on long term welfare. And thats waht motivates me - the fear of having nothing and having to put life on hold

No.

My OH does have a medical card and has a LTI.

Love.

kelle

I love my work, but morale has really decreased in recent months as we've been losing services and seem set for eventual closure, we're so unsure of what the future holds.

OK, I am a much hated PS worker - though very much frontline and I work my bloody ar*e off.

My job is hard work sometimes but always fun. I would not like to do anything else for a living and almost everyone I know in my jobs would agree with that.

It seems that not only have the un-employed lost their jobs but they've lost their sense of humour too.

Money is a factor of course, in process of signing for my first house so need to get it furnished now! Main factor to be honest is the responsibility the job brings - i have a pretty big load sitting on my shoulders, and if i don't do my job right lots of stuff could go t*ts up. It's a scary thought so i push through it.
