Your job, and what you like about it

Aerin

Because I am feeling snotty about my job at the moment, I am trying to remember why I like it...

I am an office coordinator for a mobile dentist serving Nursing homes....

1. I am helping the elderly, who really do need our services...

2. I have a boss who is usually not as wiggy as she is today...

I'm a waitress. I know it sounds like a crap job, and I'm pulling in 55 hours a week, but I just love people so I can't hate it. Some days (shhhhhhhhh) I even like it!

I'm a veterinary tech/ vet school intern at the moment... long hours, but it is rewarding when it comes to helping animals.

I have to say that most days I love it, but there are some days I hate it (like when people bring in an animal to be put down because the animal is "undesirable" i.e. not right colors, kids don't want it...). People can just be so cruel! Evil or Very Mad

I LOVE my job - which is simply being a mum Very Happy

I have never found anything so fufilling. However, when the little ones grow up, I will get back into college level teaching - which, while not nearly as fun, gives me something to do with my time.

Oh, and you can piss at college students all the time and not get in trouble. Have to be careful with minors Rolling Eyes

I am a student, but job-wise I do as few hours as possible at a DIY store. I hate it with a passion; I have to wear a green and orange uniform, I don't get on with the other people who work there, I know nothing about the produce and all I do is sit at a till for hours at a time as they've taken away the 'joy' of going to get price codes in case of errors.

Bright side: well, pay isn't up there, since I only get mimimum wage...

... Oh, I know! I have a bright side! I can work what hours we want because we're FIFTY PEOPLE UNDERSTAFFED (we have 98 in a store designed for 150) so it's pick a choice of hours!

I just got back from work. Conclusion: yes, I still hate it.

I tolerate my job. Barely. Ok, I can´t wait til I find something else! Evil or Very Mad

I´m the assistant manager in a fairly large grocery store. Bloody awful. I´m always stressed out b/c the owners thinks you can run a store with magic! Seriously! Either that or they think we´re some kind of super-humans. Rolling Eyes

It doesn´t matter how much you work -- it´s never enough, since we are so understaffed it´s not even funny! Angry

On top of that, the police pays us a visit every other day b/c snotty little piss-ant teenagers tries to steal cigarettes and shampoo! Naughty!!!

Thankfully, I quite like my co-workers and most of the customers. Some of our regulars are really sweet! Laughing

I don’t really know what to put down, since I just got rid of my awful, atrocious job, now that I’m going back to uni full time. I worked for a high street greetings card store and loathed it. I seemed to spend most of my time tidying up cards in the rack or refilling the cards, which involves going into drawers and pulling out loads of them – ended up with more paper cuts than I care to remember. Stock room was five flights of stairs up and no lift. I liked tills, but guaranteed the minute I started enjoying it, I would be chased off because I made the mistake of showing the manager that I was good at stocking the racks. I hated the others that I worked with as well. Nothing at all in common with them, and they were the laziest bunch of idiots I’ve ever seen.

I loved my old job in London. I miss it. But it’s a bit difficult to do tours of London when you live in Glasgow.

Stocking the racks, eh love?

Oh... I want to say something so damn bad Laughing

Just realized I did not put down Hate with a blood curdling passion... as an option, I have never really hated a job. But, there are some jobs out there worthy of being hated...so, sorry about that!

I like my job. Most days. Most hours. I am sure, most something. I am a cashier in a restaurant. I get to insult customers and talk a lot, and I do not have to worry about not getting tipped. Just by the med reps. I also manage to find time to write some poetry, or flesh out the last chapter that did not agree with my beta. And the few tables I do have to help out with gives me a little tip money with which to play. Days are better than nights, as you have to watch what you say to high school kids. The best part, summers and all school holidays and snow days off, and all the pizza messups you can eat. How many jobs allow you that? (So, there, to my sister who thinks Wal-Mart is all that.)
It is a great job and will hold me over until Sony comes courting with that big recording contract.

Just to be timely, I no longer work at the job I started this post about...Could no longer take the pressure of being alone in a room with no windows. And my boss, she is always as wiggy as she was that day. In fact, she can be wiggier.

I am now temping, and possibly will hire on at a dentist office across the street from an orthodontist I used to work for.

I am also looking at a "Ground communications coordinatior" possition at my husband's company. Read:Mail room lacky. No job stress and benefits. Niiiice. Of course the money is not as good as the dental job....
