How happy are you at work? It's not what you do, it's how you do it. Are Mondays bad or good? Is your job so satisfying that you would work there for free after you win the lottery?

how about playing the lotto every week because you feel so underutilized?... you see people quitting now and then, people getting laid off... not to mention about a few other quarts of dark brown shit. -
There's a good reason I gave up on that work thing...the fresh princess of 1338
What did I do to make you think I give a shit?Comment

I have my own company. I still work like a dog, but I'm finally happy because I have only my incompetence to blame.Comment

I worked in a pizza place once, anytime there was a prank call we got the last laugh because we ate the pizza. That saved me so much in food costs! Let me know if/when you want me to call in a pizza to a fake address.Last edited by astcell; February 25, 2003, 20:55.Comment

I guess I can't bitch too much.. My job pays enough to cover the bills, which is not too bad since they are also paying for me to go back and finish my degree. I get free reign on the network (muahaa..) and flexable hours. All the shitty jobs beforehand make up for the good one.. Those would be better discussed over beers by the pool..Happiness is a belt-fed weapon.Comment

Street sanitation - they had to shovel up the road kill. Now imagine a skunk that has been dead on the street for a week.....Comment

I once built a system to automate routing of trash and dead animal pickup. We did system field testing in July and August in Texas, which meant that I got to tag along with the crews. As part of initiation, I had to pick up garbage for a week.Comment

I worked for a rice mill one summer years ago. My two jobs were shoveling rice in the basement and shoveling rotted rice out of the bi-product elevator pits. The basement was so dusty you could not see over 10 feet in front of you, so noisy no one could hear you scream (happened to a guy that lost 3 fingers in a motor, he was down there for hours before someone found him because they could not hear him yelling..) There was NO ventalation except for the ladder hole and stair hole, which was 3x3 and 6x6; so the average temp. was around 135F. We had one guy pass out from it. 12 hour shifts, 7 days a week. The bi-product area was the icing on the cake.. I had to shovel the warm-moist, rotted rice out of this 8x8x8 pit. There were maggotts as big as my thumb, and then I sholved up the remains of a skunk. I puked in my facemask, then walked off. I came back after that job was done, but I will save the story about quitting for a different time... ;)Happiness is a belt-fed weapon.Comment
