My girlfriend is complaining about her job. It's pointless/total waste of time/not at all using her skills/idiotic boss's... the standard list of reasons why she doesn't like her job.

Now My general take on it is welcome to life they almost all suck. Anyone disagree?

[0mar]

I like my job.

Hell I enjoyed working at the gas station.

[PenultimateManStanding]

Working at the Restaraunt is cool. Drive around, listen to good music, smoke cigarettes, collect tips. The substitute teacher gig is cool too when I don't have students from hell to deal with, which thankfully, is most of the time. Today, it was English As A Second Language for Mexican kids. Nice kids. I get up and do my thing, they listen, nice. If you're good at something, and you like doing it, working isn't so bad.

[Schweinshaxe]

No, I don't like my job.

I like the work I'm doing but I don't like my job.

Did that make sense?

[Schneider]

Hmm,not that i dislike my job (i'm the production supervisor in a small fences making shop)..but sometimes,it is really a pain in the ass !

Sometimes,you get a "friendly" finger right under your nose by some (not for long) fellow co-workers..Hell,that is the last straw when you try to help peoples to find their weaknesses to be able to keep them !

Other times,it is just the rush's falling on you without stopping ..

Maybe it would be more enjoyable if the pay wasn't so low !!!!

I like the couple of pretty girls i work with The old ugly ones aren't bad either... The work itself is pointless and brainless...but it suites me just fine. I really have no passion to exceed in life...call me lazy...i just want to tend my garden/bike/hike/and explore.

[dissimulo]

I enjoy my job, but I wouldn't choose to spend my time working if I didn't need the money.

I used to work for a man who had retired as the CEO of his company, got bored, and went back to work as a CTO for a salary of $1/year. Now that was a man who liked to work.

currently i'm a student. my past jobs weren't particularly exciting, but i do see how they were important. (my jobs were a medical transcriptionist/record keeper and also a software tester for a medical device company)

deleted. this was a stupid message

I just walked off my job today. I was working for a very poorly run company and had 2 bosses in my department that I would fire in a heartbeat. After moving last year I took a lower position to reduce my stress. Instead I got morons running the show that made my stress level much higher.

I did get a possible offer to move back to were I came from and take a higher level job and much higher pay working for a group of people I respect. Although the job isn't yet guaranteed I feel it is a formality as the possibility was offered only to me. They even took care of the hotel room and food for my stay when I go there to negotiate.

[theragtopguy]

I like my job. (Lab Technician at a Chemical Mfg. Co.)

I really like my hours-2nd shift, 3.30 to 2 AM, 4 ten hour days. After 5 PM all the jackasses and bosses are gone.

I love my 3 day weekends.

Of course, since 90% of our products are mostly petroleum distillates what kind of future do I have?

[orz]

Well, I'm a student right now, so can't really complain.

And once I head to grad school in a couple years I plan to try and get into a lab that works on solar nanotech, so I imagine I will be very happy with my work, as my driving goal in life is now is to make all the doomers cry by developing a cheap solar film to supply the world with unlimited energy.

[fossil_fuel]

good luck orz, as a petroleum geology major, i'll be out there trying to buy you time.

[orz]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'D')o you have even the most basic and elementel understanding of ecology and the laws of thermodynamics?

[seldom_seen]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('orz', 'b')leh it's an engineering thing.

[Antimatter]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 't')echnology does not = energy. You need to understand that and understand it good.

[Omnitir]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '
')What exactly is your objection to clean power for everyone? That we will grow?

[Jake_old]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'S')ums up the position of most doomers and why many people find PO so hard to take seriously. Doomers often don’t want solutions to peak oil, because they have issues with the modern world. They have issues with growth. How can anyone take seriously a group of people that are against growth, and therfore against life itself?
