What you like about your job

I would do my job for free if I won the state lottery. I honestly wood.

I love when I can truly help someone, it gives me that warm fuzzy feeling. Like when a mom down on her luck cant afford an antibiotic thats $90 , so you call the doctor and suggest something in that same line, and he says sure and you come back and say is $15 better. And she cries and cant speak because now her child can have medicine because some guy up and left her to carry the world on her shoulders, or the elderly who have no insurance and you search on your own time at home on the computer and find ways for them to get their meds for free.

Or when you deliver them to patients homes who have no family and are total shut ins practially. When its christmas and someone walks 2 miles in the snow and gives you a handmade quilt out of gratitude when you drove to another store on your own time to get their cancer medication.

-When you hug a dying aids patient because every one else is afraid to, and see in their eyes what it ment.

-No I definately would do my job for free.

i like the feeling of helping those who need it. i like busting dirtbags and bullies. i like the camaraderie and backup, it's a special membership that only we understand. i like feeling useful. and i love the mental challenges of investigation.

Being shown that people can suffer the most awful life experiences and still survive. And still maintain a sense of humour. Very humbling but very inspiring.

And when someone who has used our service is well enough to say "I'd like to become a volunteer"

I like my independence. Im liked, treated with respect and trusted so they let me be. Also its a very warm and relaxed atmosphere so the stress is manageable. I could do worse for sure. (and I have)

I really loved my job growing up. It was the absolute BEST job any little grown up boy could ever want. i got paid to play in the dirt with the world's biggest Tonka toys.

bouncing around in the tractors for hours on end. just you and your thoughts.

knowing that what you were planting was going to feed the world.

GodDamn, i miss that.

Thats a pretty nice life.

I like my job as a teacher, because I like working with young people. It is nice to see their minds working and getting into it, and there is always enough funny moments during the day to make you laugh. (I teach 7th grade) And the best thing about my job is:

Summer Vacation!:-6

I like that I can make my own hours, show up to work in a bikini top and some boxer shorts and not be considered "unprofessional," and I love that I'm constantly learning. Every day I learn about another industry, or medical treatments, or about engineering or physics. And I get free lunch at the sushi place three times a week!

I don't like that my job isn't steady. I don't like that my office is 85 degrees and doesn't have carpeting. And I don't like that the other people in the office are boys who never feel that it's necessary to buy toilet paper, clean the bathroom, or put their garbage in an appropriate container.

::blinks:: I'm only 16, but I teach a sunday school class...does that qualify as a job because I love working with the kids to make sure they learn something. I may only be a snotty ass teenage. Lol, but religion is an important part in my life, I just want to make sure they learn the religion they have been expected to know and well quite frankly practice....>.>;; I'm planning on becoming a teacher someday...So I guess this is kinda pretraining...I guess, and i just got a job on the graveyard shift...Kutos to me

^_^

i dont like my job..... my work is unappreciatd undervalued and underpaid....

could be why im job hunting!!

i put everything into my job that i possibly can and get told im the best in the team at what i do yet my company seems completely unwilling to recognise my efforts..... i guess not helped by more time off sick but then theres absolutely jack i can do about it and if they hold that against me then its another damn good reason to get out!

however having said all that, i do actually i guess like what it is i do and most the people i work with but the pay and the people i dont like are jsut ruining it too much for me at the moment
