When you get up to go to your job, are you happy to go in, or forcing yourself to do it? I read somewhere recently that " I don't mind going to work, it's the 8 hour wait I have once I get there to go home that I hate!"


For me, I personally hate it.................

I like going into work, until I am made ill by someone's disgusting and nauseating use of perfume. Usually, as soon as I hit the elevator. When will women and men realize that fragrance is to be used for an intimate moment, such as someone nuzzling your neck? It is not meant to be an announcement that you came into or were in the room. I COULD PUKE!!!!, BUT instead,
I end up coughing, getting scratchy eyes, and suffering for the whole day.

When there is no fragrance around, I love my job and office.

I don't really mind my job, but this morning I am really not wanting to work.
I got used to working 3-9:30pm and now I have to work 8:45am-2pm today. I don't really know how to do the day shift since I have only done it once before. I just have to figure it out for myself.

Bringing family in that get away with things that others wouldn't.

If i ever need to leave early which isn't often i get it no problem, but others get called for it and it's wrong because we should all be treat the same.

Theres a lot of animosity here at the moment because of it, so that's another reason why i'm thinking of taking early retirement because i hate an atmosphere even if it's got nothing to do with me

Susan, I think it's the same everywhere and for a lot of different reasons. Our work motto used to be "do the right thing", now it's do the right thing if it doesn't cost anything. The last three years have really changed a lot, Competition is fierce and management is cracking under the strain.
I still like going to work, I like what I do and the people I work with, but upper management is a joke right now.

I like both my jobs! During the week I have an office job (that I don't do much at
) but I like the people I work with and my manager is really nice. On the weekends I work at a restaurant, I've been there 10 years now, so there must be something I like
I was a cook, but now I'm moving over into the buffet area, it's a little less hectic and stressful- I'm getting to old for that stuff

I Mostly like my job although sometimes it can be really time-consuming.
I have to be in contact everyday at some point but do set my own schedule as to when I am in the office, I can go in later in the morning which I like, I am not much of a morning person and do work at home some.
I get along very well with both my bosses and they pretty much leave me to my own devices.
I suppose the only thing that I find annoying is some of the people I work with, they can be bit of complainers at times.

I like my job and I enjoy what I do, but I can't stand having to be cooped up for 9 hours a day with 2 superficial women that I would NEVER choose to socialize with.

So the job itself gets a
but the fact that I have to deal with two-faced, false females all day every day really makes me
