Tink1717 2 #2 December 2, 2004 Even worse, it leaves me with knowledge that the public safety is in the hands of the low bid gear, incompetent staff and camplacent politicians. It is compounded by the fact that I have no other marketable skills and am trapped there for three more years.Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway...

Well, my last job did, does that count? But I didn't have to get up at 0630 to do it again, I had to stay up until 0230 instead. ps - when I said last job, I didn't mean prior to this one.

I'm going to name my first ulcer after this place. THis sucks... No. Although I feel like crap when I get home, I also want to eat, watch a movie or classic TV, and be with my honey. I live within comfortable cycling distance of my office, so I only have to getup at 7:30 before doing it again. I used to like work even when it meant 12-16 hour days.

DrewEckhardt 0 #8 December 2, 2004 QuoteWhen i don't like my job, I quit and get another one. I used to have no problem doing that. As I gained experience it took more complex work to satisfy me thus reducing the number of available jobs. The number of jobs in my industry dropped. The labor market became flooded with people who'd lost those jobs. Before all that I could find a new job within a month of becoming unhappy. Last time I couldn't before things became intollerable, quit, and spent $30,000 paying my mortgage, car payment, living expenses, etc. until I had my next paycheck. After another six month lay-off I'll start spending my retirement savings. IOW, it's not practical. Things would have been _MUCH_ worse if I wanted a house like my friends (2-4X my current mortgage payment) or had children. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

After a couple quiet months, I started work again and that pretty much desribes the weekday climb. Would say feels like shit though. More a general numbing, not helped by unnaturally cold temperatures around here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dumpster 0 #10 December 3, 2004 Nah, My job is pretty cool- Sure, I'm up at 5 AM, in the shop by 6 and often spend 10 or more hours there, but I get to work on all sorts of machines, help engineers solve problems, etc. Kinda like a scaled down version of Monster Garage sometimes. It can be quite stressful, but I learned that once I leave that place, the stress stays there, I try not to bring it home. At the same time, I endeavour not to bring home stress to work, either.

I love my job, I have to be at work @ 5am but i am off at 2pm unless I want to work overtime. Funny I did stop by my old job. After 7 years the people are still unhappy with the same stuff they were unhappy with when I left, go figure Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nanook 1 #16 December 5, 2004 naaah. . .love my job. I got bored one day and calculated how much I make an hour based on my annual income and how much actual time I spend in the office. Came out to about $250 an hour._____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
