Even if you don't work a paid job - everyone works in some way or another.
The best bit of my job is getting loads of feedback during the courses I teach about how the learners will be using the IT system I'm teaching them.
The worst part of my job is the constantly moving timescales and lack of system support when we are trying to get IT systems installed to actually deliver the courses on.
What do you like about yours? (I'm assuming we all like the wages - however paltry biggrin:D:D)
I'm the boss.. lol
I have been doing the same job now since Easter 1981, not for the same company, the company changed hands several times, but at the same location until 13 months ago when I and my business partner started our own company. I service and repair touring caravans. It is an interesting and very varied job, I love it, and one day I hope it may make me well off. :lol:
The good parts of my job:
I couldn't quite put into words the good aspects of my job.
(at that point I carried on typing in a stupid attempt to do just that... it didn't work)
The thing is, it constantly suprises me that I can do what I do, and get so much from it. I just don't consider myself to be the right person (character wise) for the job. And yet somehow, it seems to work. I don't gt a warm-glow or sence of achievement. Just seeing the result in someone else is... well... errrm...

I used to be self employed.. and loved that.. I had a herb nursery, kept hens, also worked part time as a chef and also was 5 days out of 7 home for my kids....
then we moved south - was meant to be better for us all... except I had to go out to work, at first i loved it but am now in a job I really dont like sad
the only thing i like about this job is the meeting people bit. I am seriously thinking about finding out about retraining.
I like the people I work with that some days make me giggle when I shouldn't :giggle:
Best part of my job is driving home when i have finished work ;)
Mainly I like the fact that I only do it for just over 20 hours a week lol I work for a very large organization, they look after us well still got Final salary pension scheme and as yet no forced redundancies all natural wastage.
For my roll I am in charge of my little domain and I get to work with a variety of interesting people. To be honest I get a lot of spare time in my job, when its quiet its VERY quiet when its busy it can be horrendously busy but that is not very often at all these days. The jobs nowhere near as demanding as when I started the job over 5 years ago but now they pay me much more for doing it :lol: I get lots of time where I can just sit in the office and look at ebay or youtube. Sometimes a few of the staff come in if its quiet I'll get a few funnys on and we all have a laugh. Must say the current bunch of staff I have are great the building has not been this harmonious well ever to be honest. Long may it last! never does though, will pick up another bad egg sooner or later sad My area is over more than one building also so I get to walk about near the town centre looking at the ladies :twisted: Thats getting better now the more the sun comes out wink
I like my job because as a partner I can choose what to do and when. I love the freedoms that brings.
I enjoy getting up every morning to go to work, how some can spend it at home in bed, or just dossing around all day,sounds like being bored silly to me.
As a boss I get the rewards that brings.
Going out to work brings self esteem and a sense of doing something.
I may have a slightly different attitude if I worked for someone else, instead of being a business man myself.
I used to be a Youth Project Manager and Accreditation Development Worker - unpaid Community Work Trainer and local activist..phew! I lived for my work and it took its toll in the end.
I now work unpaid for a radical project with great additional benefits of meeting and working along side street drinkers, the homeless, drug users and unknown/well known artists ...I have just being given the title of Artist Liaison and most importantly Chief Tea Maker :lol2: :lol2: The guy who started the project (also unpaid) is quite an entrepreneur and great to work with - he will be even better when I've trained him in the art of tea making confused :? :lol2: :lol2:
Nice thing is - he's cool about me logging in here now an then - even has a read of the forums I believe (not a member), he's interested in sexuality and pornography - which suits me fine as I can be me lol He put on an exhibition about pornography a few years back and I have fun playing with some of the saucy equipment he made for it - all of which is going in some sort of museum next next :sad:
I love it and get to meet some really cool peeps I may never have got to meet/work with!
I own a joinery business, which because of the way thing's have gone over the last coulpe of years as now changed direction, for the past two or three years we made bondage furniture as a side line, now the company is moving total towards doing this full time, lately this is bringing me into contact with some very intresting people, and some face's I have not seen for a very long time, in the near future it's going to mean spending a fair amount of time traveling around the country and visiting swinging/fetish club's and event's, but if it keep's lads in work I will have to suffer these hardship's.
It also mean's the area above the workshop's as been turned in to a fully equipped dungeon with all manner of strange thing's in there, as well as my desk and computer, oh!, and a large fourposter bed, now the usual office surrounding but it's not a bad work environment, and can be fun when I have close friend's visit.
Im trying to find the bad point's about work, is being horny all the time a bad point.
the pay
well someone had to say it
best bits are when a client comes in feeling low and with a friendly ear nice cuppa n whole new look walk out with a much lighter step, or when a client comes in and says "do wat u like i#m feeling funky" and i just get the opportunity to create, also having become my own boss means that when my column is empty my time is mine to do with what i like and if i want time off for anything i don't have to ask anyone
worst bits have been since the recession my clientelle has taken a noticible decline and my purse strings are much much tighter and i have way too much time to do with what i want i'm really looking forward to things picking up and finally getting busy again, mr b is constantly calling me a part timer but trust me i would love to be fully booked all week and so would my bank balance
I run my own business so first and foremost and as some others have already said, the flexibility, pay and other rewards it offers me.
After that:
- working with lots of different people
- making a difference
- being able to see the positive impact that difference has on their professional lives
- sometimes seeing the spillover it has into a positive impact on their personal lives
I really, really enjoy my job and hopefully that shows to the the people I work with and for. The day I stop enjoying it, I'll find something else I do enjoy.
I also do a lot of work with the Military & Police so the eye candy in uniforms is good too :rascal:
I absolutely love my job. I'm self employed and I teach guitar for a living. I've been playing guitar continuously for 48 years and it's a wonderful feeling passing on the skills that I've developed in that time to others. A terrific thing about the guitar is that you never stop learning, no matter how long you've played and no matter what level you achieve. There is always something new to learn. Be it a new piece, a new style or a new technique. It's an ongoing process.
I get a lot of pleasure from hearing pupils play. Got some doing exams this summer so that should be interesting. My only regret is that I didn't start teaching years earlier. I love it!
The freedom of my job, spent an hour or so this morning after I had visited a customer, in Christchurch wandering around looking at the sea / the fishing, the sun was out and it was lovely!!
i never liked being an emloyee, especially in large corporations. now i am self employed as a bespoke carpenter. i am happy but poor. however you are never quite free. once you begin to earn above a certain amount the govt. applies inerim tax demands, thus effectively making you an employee again.
best part of my job is im home by 3pm and work 2 mins down the road,
the worst part is gettin up at 6am to clean other peoples crap lol
I get to meet lots of really interesting people, all with a different story to tell. I love to listen to them.
I get a real buzz out of seeing people achieve things that they never thought they would and have struggled with for years. I love seeing their faces when they realise that they can do it!!!
I enjoy the challenges that my job brings and working out how to overcome each one.
I enjoy the flexibility and how I can work from home sometimes (allowing perv time) lol
I like how I dont have a boss who micro manages ... I am trusted to get it done, and so I do.
I hate being stuck on the M6 and the pay is crap for what I do .... I am worth sooo much more!!! :lol:
Honestly? At the moment, nothing.
I work in sales, and it's bloody hard work for no return and has been the same since about October 2008! I keep thinking it'll turn around, but so far, nada.
2 years ago I loved it. There was money to be made then and lots of it, but minimum wage is just not doing it for me right now!
*Her*
I love my job... even the sh*tty bits.
I'm lucky and, finally after 11 years in the post-university working world, I know I'm in the right job.
Doesn't stop me having a rant and a moan to let off steam every now and again! :thumbup:
I am a plumber and the best bit is the differnet customer and the odd few ladies who like me ;) I have had some fun.
i like the children and some of the staff and some of the parents
i enjoy providing care and education for children
i hate the politics and the bitchiness and the pay is crap, i get slightly above minimum wage for looking after peoples most precious possesions !!
I love my job because:
I work from home.
I Can do the job the way It benefits the customer and not the company providing the service.
I love the company I run my franchise for. We are a big family and all help each other when we need to (especially now with the vulcano stuff going on).
I can study and further my education whilst doing it as I can take time off if I need to.
I have seen lots of the world doing it and have the chance to see lots more in the future if I keep doing it.
Plus I would never have found this site and been able to stay here if I worked anywhere other than home!

I work in the automotive interior trim business where we manufacture for a very prestigious company all the cars interior bar the seats. We are under constant pressure to achieve outputs and are fined if we do not. Now i am line manager so the stress and pressure are doubled, i also have the benefits of being able to work alternate 3 shifts which includes Sunday night and Friday night when WTA is called (Working Time Account). So to answer the question what do i like about my job? Nothing at all really, on the upside i am retraining to do something for myself and have given my self a 12 month schedule to get this done and become a person once again.
Mr Shad.
I love every bit about my job. (self-employed entertainer for elderly/disabled)
The money is a third of what I was on in my old job, but on a daily basis I'm making people (and myself) happy, and you can't put a price on that.
I'm a bus driver;
good bits; regular money and paid holidays.
bad bits; the public!!!
Well where i work is the stores department of a railway maintance depot..
And the best psrt of my job is having the power to put some managers in there places,
they say i have to do something and i turn round and tell them i don't (the look on there faces is worth a thousand words)..
I really enjoy my day job... Im a driver and deliver all over east & west midlands. Being out n about means Ive not got a boss who is constently leaning over my shoulder looking what Im up too.. Freedom!! Its job & finish so some days Im home by dinner time smile My boss is great anyway and doesn't mind me stopping to shop or visit friends as long as my deliveries are done.. I even stopped to get my nails done last week biggrin cool eh?
Also I occassionaly run my own Karaoke. That I love cos I adore entertaining, Im in my eliment also I sing as much as I want but... the setting up and packing away is hard all by myself :sad: (Roadie req.. payment in kind :twisted: )
