What do you do for a living?

[MrsSassyPants]

I work as on office manager at a hotel near my home. I also help my husband manage a lawn care/odd job business after work, and days off.  Daily grind can be difficult. Do any of y'all deal w incredibly difficult bosses/owners?  I can't even enjoy my time off for my day job being so miserable.

[Plu]

I work in software development, we build applications for companies. It's mostly kinda boring but the pay is good.

I no longer work for an incredibly difficult boss, I had one at my previous job though. I eventually quit because he was an idiot.

:-D I'm retired, but I sure do know what you mean. I still have nightmares from jobs I've had in the past and working at a resort on my last job.  :roll:  Solitary

[AtheTurk]

i have had problems with alcohol and marijuana in the past. but not normal usage. as very very exaggerated.

Being a judge is a perfect job for an atheist that listens to evidence instead of faulty logic that lawyers use to win a case instead of getting to the truth of the matter at hand.  =D>  Good choice! Solitary

Well done. We do necessarily get rather good at spotting logical fallacy. Unfortunately, fallacies are much harder to spot when combined. :(

Atheturk, I had drug problems in my 20's.  And I wish I could have those years bk now:(.  But anyway, I am 31, and I must admit, your typing comes across the screen at me as rather odd.  I mean no disrespect, just curious if you are typing that way on purpose.  That's great your parents take good care of you!  
 I hope I find a good healthy way to deal with the daily grind and constant critisicsm.  It's going to make me old very soon.

I'm finally retired (kept working until I was almost 70, because I enjoyed the job).  I've been writing software for the last 40 years, but I had a couple of other careers before that.

I've worked for geniuses and morons, wonderful people and some who probably could have replaced Satan in hell.  I've lost both my parents, a daughter, 2 brothers-in-law, 2 mothers-in-law, father-in-law and more friends than I care to count, so perhaps I'm more stoic than most, but I've always believed "this too shall pass", so I've gotten through it all.

I don't allow a bad boss to ruin my time off from work, either.  Life's too short to allow anyone I don't love to spoil my happiness.

Retired. I have had many jobs.

Dishwasher here. I love my job, certainly not for the title, but because of my co workers and out of all the places I have worked so far, I have more freedom to organize and do things on my own. I have been where I work since 05 and I have seen no one last at that position because most people hate it.

But I also have more freedom because of my position to do more than just that, like cleaning and busing and general upkeep. They have tried to get me to become a cook, but I see all the piled on multi tasking that wears them out. By limiting my scope I actually pick up crap jobs they don't want to do.

When you have more freedom on the job to do things your own way, rather than following a script, you get more done. That kind of satisfaction to me, is not something you can put a price on.

My co workers are the biggest reason I am there. We work well together, get on each other's nerves, but in an A-Team way. I'd rather work with someone who cares , than someone who simply goes through the motions. The best part is that I feel we are more like a family than co workers.

Sometimes I groan when people ask me to do things I know they could do themselves, but I have to remind myself, they are doing it because they depend on me.

Yeah. It is ironic. The best job I ever had was as a janitor, because the boss was a nice guy and trusted me to do my job, and left me alone. Got paid peanuts, but it was actually a very enjoyable job. go figure.

Thank you. I couldn't ever get paid any amount of money to be miserable.

The main problem with my situation is transportation is limited.  I work close to home, and I make a DECENT wage. Not going to say anything more than just decent.  But I live in a small town, and public transport doesn't exist.  And I like the job itself, but like someone said earlier, I am not given enough freedom to work like I want to.  They want to constantly criticize etc.  Which doesn't actually help anything, it just makes me fk up more.  
I work for foreigners, but he was raised in the USA. Relating to either one of them seems just impossible.  I wish I could just quit, but I am in debt up to my eyeballs. My husband and I have borrowed a bunch of money for a side job that we hope turns into full time one day.

I'm slumming it professionally.  I am a qualified teacher and qualified foot health practitioner and I've also worked in banking, retail, as a fitness instructor, but for the last 12 years I have worked a blue-collar job in an engineering plant, making air filters for commercial aircraft.  This has been the best job as it has the least stress and one of the best wages thanks to shift pay and overtime...... and probably mostly because I don't have to deal with the public.

 Also, I have no ambition and I'm not an ass-licker, so I've turned down offers to go onto the management ladder, much to the bafflement of the suit-and-tie brigade.  I own most of what I want and I'm not really into owning much so I'm quite happy to just get by on my stress-free job and a bit of gig money from playing bass in rock bands.    :)

I'm also about to start a proofreading and copy-editing course.... I'm thinking I might move into that area soon and see what's happening there....
