No. It is farily mindless and boring. BUT..I don't hate it, not at all, and I am thankful to have a job at all, and it is not physically demanding.

do I love my job? Abso-freakin-lutely! My employer has been on Fortune's '100 Best Companies to Work For' list 13 years. We even held the number 1 slot for some of those years, and ranked in the top 10 for nine of those years. We are also consistently ranked 1st or 2nd in our industry by JD Power. I just got home today from a company meeting where we were treated like royalty.

and I work for probably the world's best boss. I've worked with him over 10 years. I don't think a week has gone by in all those years without him telling me how much he appreciates me. He often tells me to call a friend for lunch and he'll pay the tab. Once when DH and I were going on vacation the boss kept asking me all these questions about where we stayed. I thought it was kind of odd. The 2nd day of our vacation, we had a msg from the front desk that we had some mail. DH went to the desk, and came back with an envelope with my company's logo on it. I told him to open it. My boss had sent us some cash to "do something you guys wouldn't normally do - a nice dinner, a day cruise, whatever you want." I was shocked! He has us work what he calls 'summer hours' for July, Aug, Sep. Every other Friday, he let's me leave at noon...WITH PAY.

I am a high school social studies teacher and I love 90 percent of my job.I love my students, my colleagues, and the subjects I teach. I dislike grading papers (I do it anyway, obviously, but with 160 or more students daily, there are LOTS of papers.) I dislike the education has become a political football and that we get a lot of disrespect from people who have no idea what we do but expect us to fix all of society's issues!

This is probably my last year in the classroom.. and that makes me sad. But retirement looms and a husband who wants to travel and play while we're still young and healthy enough (we're in our early 60's) and a new granddaughter make retirement at least acceptable!

I LOVE MY JOB(S). Every one. I know, like most people, I have bad days too, but I'll still keep coming back.
I work weekends as a property manager a block from my apartment; and then weekdays I either go to school or work at my studio where I make personalized clothing and hair accessories or I could go to work at any of six nearby properties - whatever I feel like! Sometimes money is tight because I only work a minimum of 16 hours a week; but having my own business and being able to make my own hours gives me so much personal freedom! I can drop everything and go have lunch with my family or take a nap at noon if I want.
Actually, I end up feeling pretty childish most of the time, and it's been pretty hard to commit to an exercise program because of my ever-changing schedule. But; I love my jobs, they're not always the most healthy thing for me, but they make me happy.

No, but I hope I will when I train in my new lab at my company. I'm a medical technologist and I got my bachelor's degree to work in this field. It has been tough not being happy with what I do since I enjoyed it in college. I guess things are different in real life.
