Nope, but it pays alright and I'm shallow like that.

The problems is there are just so many other things I would rather be doing than being at work. Like down the pub, or on the beach, or at Selhurst Park, or down the pub.

I dont think there is a job the world short of being a F1 driver or the Brazilian womens beach volleyball oil boy that I would actually "enjoy".

BMS Engineer.

if it weren't for the stupid appraisal system that you have to go through each year, the mindless administration and the stupid management then yes I love what I do. Graphic Design if anyone is interested.

Well i'm a hgv driver and i get good days and bad days really, the things that get me down are attitude from other drivers and the constant pressure from clueless management, the wages are ok but to be honest if i could find a way out i would.

I really enjoy my job....which has just under 10 months before ending! I always knew the credit crunch was going to get me at some point!  :sad: (the bank I work for apparantly started the doom if you listen to some!)

I have an interview elsewhere very soon and luckily it's the banco which scores really really bad with customer service, so I may fit well in?  :lipsrsealed:  :grin:

the banks that started the doom are mainly American, the likes of Merrill Lynch, Citigroup, Bank of America and Lehmans to mention just four. You could also include Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (yes they are real financial institutions).

I know this because I work for one of those banks that did start the doom.

Im a service manager for a vending company. one of my engineers has been wining for a good 12 months to me now about working hours, pay etc. In the end i couldnt help him any more and got sick of it, so  i told him to find another job if your that unhappy! :angry: If you have a job your a lucky f**k*r to be honest. i go to different sites all over the midlands and hear stories of customers about being made redundant etc. Ive been at my company 23 years now :cry: (beat that) but I can do the job standing on my head and the pay aint bad + company car so if you have a job smile   :grin:

My job is sh!t sometimes but i have good days tooo :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
