F... working
 

Office Space just hits home for me, work sucks. Maybe I just haven't found something I really like to do yet, does anyone actually like working??

Re: F... working
 

I only like working when its raining. Every other day sucks, so yes I say F...working as well.

Yeah, I like my job. But, if I were a billionaire, I probably wouldn't be doing it.

Re: F... working
 

I like my job, however I'm really lazy, so it works against me as I'd rather be sitting on a beach, drinking beers than here at work. I keep telling my wife it's time for us to befriend someone who can afford to drop a few million in the bank, so we can live off the interest.

Re: F... working
 

I like working. Probably because, if you couldn't tell, I have SCADS of free time to do whatever I want. Call it nerdy, but I actually do like fixing computers.

Back when I was a graphic designer, I HATED that job. I honestly was about to quit and go directly back to college. I saw the job here at W&L and knew that I knew about computers and I should give it a shot.

Re: F... working
 

I like my job only because I can do the work I have to do in less than an hour and can pretty much do whatever else I want the rest of the day and still get paid for it. Out of sight out of mind here.

Re: F... working
 

While I like my job and the company I work for........I'm a lazy SOB as well. So F.....work.

I could easily be at home right now either sleeping or playing madden on my PS2.

Re: F... working
 

I like my job but there r definitely days when I don't want to go to work either because of coworkers or the customers. the works can be easy and the pays decent so I can't complain but so much.

Hey Matty, read "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" by Robert Kiyosaki. He writes about changing the mindset and philosophy of punching timeclocks, working for someone else -- it's pretty inspiring and lets the reader in on the secrets of generating income without working. It's a relatively quick read, and it makes you think.

Re: F... working
 

My job is tolerable for the most part. When I have a full staff I don't do anything but touch myself all day and make graphics for this site. But as of late I've been short handed, but I do have a new hire starting Monday. So I estimate that buy next Wednesday I will have him trained and I will be able to go back to doing what I do best. :cheeky-sm

Thanks, I'll check that out.

I'm starting to come to the conclusion that my job is just something that keeps me busy from 9-5 and it pays the bills. I'm really trying to focus my efforts on finding things that I love to do outside of work, and that also generate some side income.

I've got a small business that I'm putting together with a buddy of mine, hopefully that will work out and give me the creative outlet I'm looking for. And who knows what may happen eventually. After all, I never dreamed this site would become what it has when I started up the measly Yahoo Club. So anything certainly is possible if I put some blood, sweat and tears into it.

Re: F... working
 

I like the job but F... Being underpaid!

You sound like you have a very similar job to me. What do you do?

Re: F... working
 

I work for a college facilities department.

Re: F... working
 

f- the long hours, i started at 10am and wont get off until midnight

Re: F... working
 

plain and simple......work sucks! beemnseven, i think i am going to check out that book too.

After looking at some of the reviews, maybe not...."Great book for people who want to work hard to make money".....that says it all, this book is not for me.....lol

Re: F... working
 

My goal is to find a job that requires minimal work at maximum pay. If anyone knows of such a thing please let me know.

Re: F... working
 

President?

Re: F... working
 

I like my job a whole lot. But if I want to get to 6 figures someday I'm going to have to start putting in like 55 or 60 hours a week. I'll need to decide somewhat soon if I'm happy with 45 hours a week for less $, or do I want to give up my personal life for the financial security.

Work/life balance is very important to me. That's going to be a huge decision in the next few years for me. Probably a lot of people here are in a similar boat: do I want to make more money but have no time, or do I want the time with just enough money. Supporting spouse and kids enters the equation at some point, and that makes the decision even harder.

Re: F... working
 

Yeah, as far as I'm concerned, the money is only a means for me to experience the things I have goals on experiencing in life. I'd much rather only put in the 35 hours I work a week and keep making 30-40k a year. I'm not sure if it's like this everywhere, but where I work we get a guaranteed raise every year of at least 5%. I'll be perfectly satisfied with that my whole life considering I enjoy my job.

OOOOOHHHHHH....great line...lol

Re: F... working
 

I love my job. I have been in the navy for six years now. I have been around the world twice, seen and done things that most people will never do, and now I work in a office where I don't have to wory about deployment for a couple of years at least. I make pretty decent money but only because I have been advanced a few times at lower levels it reall sucks. But all in all I get up every morning and look forward to going to work.

Re: F... working
 

tell me about it, my job sucks. I went to sleep late last night after watching a semi-good movie-inside man. After being awaken at 10am from a phone call from a telemarketer I was unable to fall back asleep. This is my spring break and I am home alone. After watching TV on the couch all morning with nothing good on I had to make lunch at 12:30. That was bull shit. I just wanted to watch my judge hachett in peace. So I make my lunch and it takes up 5 whole minutes. I have to go all the way back to the computer to type this. I got some popcorn which made me somewhat happier but I have to get the mail in an hour and am really not looking forward to it.

Re: F... working
 

BSB has a rough life.

Re: F... working
 

My job is okay. I work at Petco helping to groom dogs. If you know how to cut dogs hair, the pay is awesome. The guy I work with makes about $2000-$3000 in comission every 2 weeks. So Thats anywhere between.. 48k to 72k a year if he does some breakneck work.

But to do that he has to pull in about 40 dogs a week. Which is rough and you HAVE to be good at what you do cause some people get really bent out of shape if you cut their dogs hair wrong. lol

Stupid me, I don't get comission I get paid $7 on the clock. Personally I'm trying to switch over to Petsmart. Cause I really don't enjoy working at Petco. Haha.

But if you're looking to make some REALLY good money on a sidejob, learn how to groom dogs.

You guys have a tough job. I've got a miniature schnauzer who is docile and well behaved on the groomer's table. I'll try to give her a trim from time to time, and I've gotten as good as an amateur can get, I think. But it's still nowhere close to the results I get from Petsmart. And I got to give you a nod for bravery, I go in the grooming shop sometimes and every now and then see a shelty or a spitz that is just deathly afraid of a brush and is looking to absolutely rip the hand off of the groomer. I mean those dogs SNAP sometimes. Hope you don't get bit too much. And mad props to you for what you do. That takes skill.

LOL nice post BSB. You must be settling into the best few months of school ever. Senioritis must be setting in by now. It's friggin great, you work hard throughout high school to make it into a college you like, you get in, and all of a sudden nobody cares about your grades anymore! That's the life. I mean you still have to pass and all so you don't get thrown out of college, but before when only As would do, now Bs and Cs will do the job just fine.

C is for cookie, and it's good enough for me! Enjoy your senior year man!

Eh. What's a hundred bucks or so when you're talking about going through school worry-free?

Re: F... working
 

That hundred extra bucks is used to buy beer in your first few months!

Re: F... working
 

look what time it is. Why am I awake?? this is bull shit yet again.


Yeah, senioritis hit me hard. I barely pulled off a C last quarter in a class. I mean by point 1 %. I say i am clutch like that but i am a lucky bitch. I almost got a D. Last time I got a C i was a freshman so a D would have been bad. As long as I don't get kicked out of Maryland. I have to study now though, next month is AP tests and i have like 5 and I have finals in my college classes i am taking so i guess i will now HAVE to study. :(

Re: F... working
 

study hard bsb...besides, your first semester will be a cakewalk...i highly recommend 12-15 credits to ease into school. you can take more classes later. and if you do well in those AP classes, you'll be getting credit anyways, so just work hard now and relax come September.

Thanks, I think that is what I'll do. As long as I do well on the AP tests and along with other credit I have I'll got to UMD with like 46 credits or something like that. A year I think is 30 so i have a good bit done. I am definately going to ease into school, i think I'll do what you said and take like 12 credits. I don't want to be overwhelmed.

Re: F... working
 

I read mr. kiyosaki's first two books
and it really helps, but still need to do it gradually especially when you have family that depends on you
