Do you look forward to going to work?

If so, could you please share what job you do!

Gilly · 2 Jan 2013 at 08:37

Sometimes. I'm an IT manager on a public sector contract.

Cosimo · 2 Jan 2013 at 08:37

What about you OP?

LiE · 2 Jan 2013 at 08:38

Yea. I handle all the support for a particular product within our company by myself (work from home 3 days, 2 days in the office)

Would prefer watching a sunrise in a wooden shack in the Alps than commuting into central London everyday .

Greg · 2 Jan 2013 at 08:43

I'm with waynesalmon, but until that time, I look forward to going to work most days. I'm usually disappointed by the time I get there though!

Yes, every day. I run a SME of my own in the Civil Engineering sector, employing 4 people.

Big is NOT beautiful.

I'm an IT Manager in the public sector. Pay is good, location is excellent, hours are ok. But the job itself is mundane and unchallenging, I work with elderly women who don't have the same interests as myself.

For a while now I've started to struggle to find motivation to get up in the morning, and thinking of changing jobs/career path.

My sleep pattern has been severely reversed so I'm running on no energy

Nope, i dont look forward to going into work, the only enjoyable part is that there might be a pretty girl on the bus.

InertProtocol · 2 Jan 2013 at 09:14

Always, work in IT for some beardy moneybags

Never, not because I hate my job, but because I just hate working. I don't think I could enjoy any conventional job. Today I mostly want to kill myself to end the suffering.

I'm sure the working from home help a lot?

I could quite easily do my job from home, and only go to work for the weekly Friday meetings etc.

Problem is the "elder generation", I'm one of 2 managers, the rest are all receptionists. They have set rotas, and I could easily see them kicking up a fuss if I were to work from home. They already make tedious remarks that I have my half day on a Friday (they aren't allowed to pick when they have theirs)...
