Heh, that sounds about like me - although I run a security biz.

I like my job, boss or not, I walk the rounds at Site Three myself, mostly, and I generally don't hafta deal with humans - there's a beauty and glory to the cold dark world out there that so many never see, like when the fresh snow comes down in hard crystals, glittering in the security lights like you're walking on a river of stars, or the rainbows as the flakes blow through the lighted arcs, the interplay of the local animals, like the hilarity of the very aggressive bunnies driving the laid back slacker raccoons out of the park, oh my that was funny...

But yeah, I like what I do, doesn't pay so well, but it's enough to get by on, and that's all I ever really wanted.

I hate my job. It's a crap job. I'm more hopeful when it comes to my actual future career, though sometimes I get a sinking feeling in my stomach when I think about trying to make it.
I graduate soon, and can quit the job I hate. So long as that sinking feeling is wrong, I will start having some better employment experiences.

I like my job, but don't love it. If I hit the Lottery I'd quit tomorrow. That said, I'm very fortunate to have a good job, working with people I like, and in one of the nicest office buildings in Fort Lauderdale.

I love my job ;-) I have had lots of crappy jobs getting here but I teach at a University and it is the best job I have ever had. Somethings suck like all jobs but I feel like it matters and the kids are getting something out of it and I get to spend time with a lot of smart people with interesting ideas. So yeah, it's a good one.

PS. I am also in the "over 50" Browncoat club. I wonder how many of us there are ;-)

Tolerate at best. I don't want to say I hate it, but I don't think I could find a job I love. I just don't like being locked into anything. I want to spend my time the way I want to and nothing I want to do really constitutes a job.

I'm just looking forward to retirement.
