How do you feel about your job?

[Toad]

Just thought I'd post a poll to see how everybody else feels about their job these days...

[L Stegall]

Can you choose more than one option? Depending on the day...........it's any and all of the above.

[sporkthedork]

No major complaints.

Glad to have a job when so many people don't.

Full time photographer working for myself. Some days it sucks, but still wouldn't trade it for any desk job as long as I can help it.

[johnastovall]

I'm retired and just freelance jobs I want to.

I would love my job if it was still in California. It's a real hard commute to mainland China

You left off the option, "What job?"

Yeah what's up with that? I can't vote since I don't got one

I'm probably among the rare.. this year I hit year 9 with my company. I started with them when I'd just moved to Houston.... I can remember jumping up and down and screaming after they called me to make an offer. 24K a year... Mon-Fri.... 8 to 5... office job... with benefits.... plus an additional 3K in possible bonuses....I had a regional manager 'boss' and a mediator 'in office' that was also in charge...

I was a brand new single parent of an almost 3 year old and had just moved here from Guam. I was scared of this unknown life I was starting...I was definitely blessed.... a month after I started, Bryan (mediator) made the regional manager give me an advance of $400 to put down to get transportation...I would have waited... but he told them to do it...so they did.

My daughter got sick... as little kids do... nothing horrid...just the kind of crap that you can't send them to daycare with...and my boss told me to bring her with me... we fixed up one of the conference tables with some blankets....and turned on cartoons... and I worked while she watched cartoons and slept.

Shane (my regional manager) attended her pre-K graduation...and her Kindergarten graduation...and came to her birthdays. When I met my husband... they came to my wedding....when my own parents did not.

They promoted me after 6 months.... and after a year, created a unique position for me to really excel at what I was good with.... I can sell ice to an eskimo... *grin*

Almost 3 years ago - they offered me a 'work at home' position... and initially, I didn't want to work from home.... but I have been blessed beyond belief. My husband and I were 'done' with kids.... he didn't want any...my daughter was enough... so imagine our 'surprise' when I found out I was pregnant....that little surprise is now 20 months old... and I get to be a SAHM...and a WAHM....

There are days that it's rough to stay focused....and days when I'd truly like to rip some attorney's heads off... but I love what I do... and I need to post this so that I can remind myself to be thankful for it a bit more often! ;-)

After several years in purgatory in my job, I got the transfer to Dallas. Love my job. Really like the people I work with and for. Not everyday is wonderful but I never mind going to work. I get all the time off I can afford to take anyway and next year I get another week! And it allows me enough time to enjoy things with Janice and enough money to support her while she works out her dream. For the first time in a long time, Life is SWEET!!!

Now, when Janice gets rich and famous ...

I gots the bestest job ever.

[Bill M]

10 year anniversary of being self employed in a business that is tough to be in right now but still love it.

[darktiger]

I am looking for something in Houston. My house and wife is there and I am in Austin :(

Plus houston has a lot of cool photography things going on....

[toverman]

I quit a job I loved about a year ago (editor of a weekly newspaper) because it was about to become a nightmare. Had never left a job without having another one until then. Interviewed for a promising job in January that was frozen before it was filled. Part of me is glad I'm only semi-employed.

It's let me spend more time being a daddy. I have a part-time contract job that I enjoy (writing/editing/graphic design/photography), I've freelanced, I'm working to grow my photography business. We've had some financial struggles, but all that is falling into place, too. My wife's job does not offer her flexibility. Mine does. I don't think I'll look back on this time and wish I was working more. Well, maybe a little bit more.
