Are you happy with your job?

I suppose that would also make some sense, it was more the assualted part that got me. I never really thought about hospital clothes as a uniform either, but I suppose it is.

This is part of my problem too. The software we use is so terrible, we should be given medals for using it. Everytime we put a business case together for a new CMS or something, it gets looked at, put on a list, then bumped further and further down the line, just because 'we can cope' with the current one. ********.
 
Not happy with it, but not massively unhappy with it either. Basically every week is just something I need to get through so I can enjoy the weekend. Some aspects of the job can be moderately enjoyable but it is also stressful at times and I find myself craving opportunities to be more creative.

Relationship with co-workers is kinda weird; most of the people I was closest to on a personal level have left so while I generally get on with nearly everyone, there's hardly anyone I would actual classify as a friend i.e. socialise with outside of work. It doesn't help that the people I work closest with are based in another office so some days I'll basically be sat there not talking to anyone except over the phone.

I would probably enjoy the job more if I had greater autonomy and could choose the things I work on; but being a realist I know that isn't feasible.
 
Not happy, work very long hours and the pay isn't great. There is scope to earn a fair bit, but there's so much politics and arse licking it's unreal.

For what I earn, for the hours I do it's awful however I'm in the trap of "oh, next month will be a good one!" and never make an effort to leave.

The people (bar the management) are great, and we have a great laugh. But I think I'll get September out the way and find something better. I just want a job that has some aspect of progression and would love to get 2 days off a week.

This.

I get to stream music on my work PC, so that gets me through the tedium. Most of my colleagues are ok to talk to, my work itself is pretty dull, but with the music of Queen blaring into my ears who cares.
 
Not really,

Get spoken too like crap the majority of the day as im the one who plans 80odd people's work and they obviously ALLLL think they can do it better, then have the tedious task of our customer services team working in the exact opposite direction as we are.

I plod on through, Monday / Tuesday / Wednesday are awful and i never get out on time...Thursday and Friday are easy and i generally have little work to do so end up helping others out, plus i make up all the time i'm owed on these 2 days...plus i can listen to my music once everyone goes at 5...i work until "half 8" so decent amount of time to just chill and get on with the job at hand
 
Don't mind it, as long as I meet my targets I get little hassle from my boss, but also feel very un-appreciated, work long weeks, constantly digging them out of the mud while making them massive profits and all I get in return is a 'you're lucky to have a job' attitude with minimal career advancement opportunities and pay increases. Its a strange situation in which I'm that good at my current job, they won't advance me higher in the company due to a fear of my dept going pear shaped without me, thus exposing my current boss as the useless twonk he is.

I'd give them a 4/10, completely backwards firm.

This is one area of my work where I think I'm pretty fortunate. Being able to listen to music, get on social networking sites/forums etc while at work is a bit of a breath of fresh air. I have friends who work in office blocks where none of that is allowed, I'd go insane without checking what's going on in the outside world a couple times every hour!
 
I hate my job, it is intensely dull and I have been stuck here for a lot longer then I would have liked. The people are ok but the money is poor.

The pluses are I am pretty much my own boss and get left alone 95% of the time. I can surf the Net as much as I want and my workload never gets busy. There is 0% stress.
 
I was in the city for 25+ years in various corporations but got out of all that a few years back. This is now the second time I've done PC support in my life, the first being in the 80s. I basically play golf and tennis with my 'clients' and fix whatever they've messed up this week - pc, network, sky kit etc. No more early rises or commuting and it supports my lifestyle nicely.

Yep, can't grumble.
 
Nope. Dread most days to be honest. Everyday is the same being stuck in the workshop (dungeon as I like to call it) dealing with the same **** and having to drop everything for cry baby customers. Hours are crap and so is pay. It probably wouldn't be so bad if we didn't have to deal with effluent which I'm getting really fed up with. Nothing worse that getting cow **** in your face. I've got to get out of it soon before I got nuts.
 
I work from home, paid full time hours but rarely even do 4 hours work a day due to waking early and getting through most of it by lunch time. It doesn't challenge me at all which creates a lack of interest but I'm still deciding which career to go for instead of just jumping the gun and making a bad decision.

Some days I'm happy, others just content.
