Siem Reeves 0 Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 i just had a half shitty, half good day at school today (a common occurance) and was wondering what other people think of their jobs. i finish in july, thank god, so i'm out of here to never teach again (yep, it's even put me off teaching in nz, even though i'm a trained teacher!). at the moment, when i grow up, i want to be a bc ski guide, ski bum or get good enough at bodyboarding or mountain biking or some other outdoor sports so that i can do that most of the time and finance it by working here and there... but that's the frustrated, and pissed off shimba talking...

TheOrange 0 Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 No. I have bad days though. Gambatte! (It's weekend time!) Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 Yes. I hate my job. I don't like sitting around on my bum all day translating manuals for environmentally damaging products of questionable value. I'm thinking about how I can best become a forester. (A big sardonic thank you to my parents who guided me away from the subjects that interested me to more valuable 'academic' pursuits. I now have a job that is the fruit of all that study, rather than a job that I want to do.) Link to post Share on other sites
TheOrange 0 Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 I thought you were going to drop some of those bad guys out of principle, Ocean11? Link to post Share on other sites
miteyak 0 Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 I don't like my job, but only have it for a few more weeks... then i'll be unemployed The next stage is going to be tough, maybe, but I'm going to keep reminding myself that life can and should be fun... should be a good bit of tilling the land, MY land, in their somewhere too.

Thunderpants 0 Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 I've had more jobs than i remember! i've done everything from Mc.Jobs to a respectable career in computer networking, sales, service. I ran my own little catering company on St.Croix. Done woodworking, watched over the danish national museum, been a photographer for a small newspaper. anyway, i hated them all. After a while all jobs become the same. Work is just something you need to do to get money for the things you like. (no real news there ) Link to post Share on other sites
Siem Reeves 0 Posted June 4, 2005 Author Share Posted June 4, 2005 yep! its the weekend and i've just finished at the gym... so i'm off to get myself some food... and i've already forgotten about the crummy day (i try not to let things bother me for too long, life goes on, right! ) so ocean, how easy would it be to change jobs? i suppose more is at stake when you've got kids... can't bum around anymore, changing jobs when you get sick of them (give me credit, i managed reasonably well for 2 years, but maybe the 3rd was a mistake, but i need the money for the next adventurous stage of my life ) Link to post Share on other sites

wendy-cake 0 Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 I don't hate it, but I don't love it really. If I hated a job I don't think I could just continue with that. It's just too much a big part of life. Link to post Share on other sites
axion 0 Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 i can definately say i hate my job. only around 3 more weeks left, then im gone. there is nothing quite like the experience of working in a hot, sweaty kitchen all night with people you cannot stand. all jobs suck after a while though, that's the nature of working.

proudtobegay 0 Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 It's not particularly the job, more the people I'm wish. I'm not keen on quite a few of them, esp the stubborn old fashioned management dudes. They really need to lighten up a bit and try to get a grasp on reality. Link to post Share on other sites

connackers 0 Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 Don`t like mine. Has put me off teaching and made me appreciate the importance of having a good relationship with your co-workers. Leaving in a few weeks and then off to do a season. That should be significantly more fun! Link to post Share on other sites

advantyper 0 Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 most of my friends hate their job. I am like the only one that actually like and enjoys my job. I work at a large apparel company, I am a graphic designer, so I am usually working on something new all the time. maybe thats why I don't hate my job. Link to post Share on other sites

sunrise 0 Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 likewise montoya. Still, what I'm doing now for income isn't what I hope to be doing forever. Same industry, but less of the stuff that I wouldn't do if I wasn't being paid. Link to post Share on other sites
