Do you actually like your job

th3 s1aught3r

They say that if you love your job you will never work a day in your life. That may be a load of twaddle, but it has some truth to it
So, do you love your job or are you only there for the money?

I'm only here to put something good on the CV, get into the course I want, get professional qualifications and then get rich.

I like living in my little bubble of naive happiness

no, its absolutely soul destroying in so many ways.
More and more its a struggle to even get up in the morning knowing I've to face 8 hours of it.

Is there a poll to come?
If so, put me down as a "yes".

Edit:good man OP, nice poll there

I work as an IT Technician Monday to Friday, 9 to 5 voluntary...........no pay.

In fact, the only other IT tech has gone on holidays so I'm the only administrator covering the schools and centres linked to us :pac:

Bit scary being put in charge of the entire system and network at first but I love this kind of work, I'm in my element.

So, yes, I like my job..............would love it if I was being paid.



















Still wish I was presenting Top Gear, though.....

I get paid to watch sport, and paint naked women on the side (metaphorcially) so.... yes.

You must have to walk a lot in your job.

I'm not telling you what my job is. I'm on to you ya job poacher!

El Horseboxo

Yeah i love it. It's flexible, i work from home or anywhere once i've a lap top and internet, get to travel, i'm well paid and my wages come from Belgium so it's safe from the shíte that Ireland is in. My work also leads towards the removal of child porn from the net. So rewarding in that respect too.

I like the work, love the people, but HATE the company.

You got a job from boards.ie??

Cat Melodeon

I don't have a job :mad:

I guess that makes me a full time parent for now. That is actually the best job ever, just wish I got a salary of above 50k, a modicum of intellectual stimulation beyond Peppa Pig and a fat pension at the end of it.

The job is nothing to write home about, i like most of the people though, so it's not a chore or anything.

I hate my job. I work with what are essentially, a load of spoiled, snobby guys and dolls from the south side of Dublin who are all the living embodiment of Ross O'Carroll Kelly.

My first day on the job they were all friendly, but as soon as the found out I live on the northside and go to college on the northside, their attitude totally changed. Now anyone I got along with on my first day just ignores me and no matter how I try to have a conversation with anyone, they just act as if they are better than me. Basically, roysh, if you don't already own a cor or sound loike you focking bath in Jean Paul Gaultier, you are just ignored.

The only people I get along with are the guys who do security in the place, and the bar staff. Totally sound and funny blokes.


The pay is good, but that can only get you so far..... FML

I do indeed thanks for asking

Money is good but has never been the driving factor, I like my co-workers and enjoy my job a lot.

What a bunch of cunts. I'd try and take the piss out of them as much as possible. At least there are the security/bar staff though.

Once it gets you back to the northside where you belong!

I feel dirty, i'm off to bathe in jean paul gaultier:D

Couldn't be happier with my job, tbh

Meh for me, only ever wanted to be a 2nd hand car salesman to be honest. Parents were hard working folk who wanted me and the sister to go to college bla bla bla. Did Physics in college and have been working in various engineering jobs since. It's a good living and not too bad. I have no doubt if I went selling cars I would always have wondered should I have gone to college. A nice gravelly yard full of ole yokes for sale and a portocabin still appeals to me though, maybe some day

mojesius

No, I don't like my job. The main problem is simply that I've been working in the industry (hospitality) for far too long and need a change. Only so many obnoxious piss-heads, useless management, lazy co-workers and rude tourists one can take before they lose the plot. I have a new job in the pipeline though .

What a bunch of W**nkers. That would wreck my head.

I like my job.

Irish Company around a long time.
Decent boss.
Nice people, we clash sometimes but its forgotten about the next day.
Money is okay, not really bothered about it anyway, being happy in a job is more important.

There are elements I dont like but compared to my last job its heaven.

garv123

i work one or two nights a week behind a bar in a country pub and i hate it.
even when its quite its so boring and time goes so slow. its actually better when your rushed off your feet on a busy night because time flies (3 times a year)
I'd hate to do it full time. Listening to drink people talking alot of of sh!t:pac:

bladespin

I love my job, really, I cover a bit of every part of the business in my role and it suits me to the ground, unfortunately it's looking more and more like I'll have to change to something that pays more, money is so tight these days and the company's just getting going, time's an enemy.

FatherLen

i am a wallet inspector so yeah i love my job...........

Antomus Prime

I despise my job!! Only for the fact that the money is good and the people are cool. But the work itself is soul destroying!!............ Telesales!!!!

I'm a qualified plumber and this is what i'm doing. I loved plumbing and cant wait for the industry to pick up again.

But I am lucky I have a full time job so at least it's something

cloneslad

I like my job. I teach English in Korea.

This is actually my 2nd time working with the same school. I originally came out here in feb 2007 then extended my contract to july 2008 and came back home to do my masters. Came back out again last february. If I didn't like it I never would have come back.

The pay is pretty good, they pay for my apartment and they paid my flight from ireland to here and will pay it to go back home again. My co workers are all pretty nice, my boss is great and I only have to work about 20 hours a week.


By the time I have finished my one year contract and travlled around south east asia for a while I will still have a good chunk of money saved in the bank allowing me to go home and try and find work in Ireland or England and not be worried about my finances.

LenaClaire

I like my job a lot. I like my co-workers, my boss leaves me alone to get stuff done, and my job is challenging but not overwhelming. I am soooo much happier in this job than my old one
