What you like (?) about work...
 
I'm doing a little technology consulting (or as we call it, consluting) right now, and working a 4 day work week - Mon-Thurs. I could get to quite like this, 10 hours a day but 3 days off....

Anyone have anything they LIKE about their job? Or something they miss about an old job? Or something that would make work better (aside from flings with a cute new hire, which I would expect about every pixie to say)....

This is a trick question right??

The only thing that could make it better...was if i didn't have to go!!!

I like that we can wear whatever we want, the bosses are easygoing and we laugh all the time. Like dadaist's 'geek humour' thread, the hold button is definitely a good thing. Actually, the mute button is a good one.

I like that when I go home, work stays at work but I miss the intellectual challenge of past jobs . . .

Well, I work in an auto parts store. So I guess my favorite part is playing "Mr.Man" when the women come in and want to know "why my car is making funny noises"..lol. The occasional, "can you help me put these wipers on?" isn't bad either.

Not a thing!

Damn. Knew there's something I meant to do. Powerball tickets. ;)

I miss being able to flirt shamelessly with the pharmacist who was only about 10 years older than me at the drugstore where I used to work...I still believe that if I had only been a couple of years older, we would've become very passionate lovers. Too bad I was underage and he had a live-in girlfriend at the time. *sigh*

dadaist 06-28-2003 12:35 AM

Ah yes, nothing like unrequited at work flirting. None of my ex co-workers have really stayed in touch like they promised they would either, natch.

I like that I am able to help those that can't help themselves

dadaist 06-28-2003 02:16 AM

Helping people, at times, can be quite rewarding. Depends on how impatient and nasty they are, or if they're willing to listen and learn. :P

I like that I only work one day a week, set my own hours, and can take my children with me.

LixyChick 06-28-2003 10:52 AM

I can set my own hours........or I used to be able to till they limited our days to 9-10 hours max. Mine usually have to be 9 hours because I have to be in on Friday to get last minute things done. But.......the one and only thing I like about my job is quitting time!

I love the challenge that each new day brings, of being in a position to help make my company better each and every day.

The $$$ is OK, too!!!! :D

The best thing about my job is the 2 weeks off at Christmas.

Being able to be here.
