[PPHSfan]

Do like me. Find a job you love and you will never have to work another day in your life.

Jason, if you hate your job every day I would say you need to try to find something you like better. But I think every one has bad days with their job, regardless of how much they like it. I may be wrong but Ive always said that life is too short to get stuck in a job you hate. But thats what happens to a lot of people because of the financial responsibilities they have. If you are single, your in a lot better position to make that change than someone with a family is.

[lepfan]

There are some days I don't like my job...but then dealing with 130 10-11 year old kids everyday has a way to get under your skin sometimes. Most days I love my job...or I would have hit the road a long time ago...

[Old No. 7]

I love my job. It's the work I hate. :D

[Tiger Turtle]

Actually, I like my job the great majority of the time. The exceptions are tied to the big guys' bad moods. Jason, shooting densities and testing concrete slumps ain't all that bad, but bustin' cylinders is a lot more fun. 'Course, that's from the engineer's point of view. Geotech pretty much rules the roost on civil construction jobs nowadays, so they take a lot of flack from contractors and owners who are in a hurry. Hang in there.

[Bandera YaYa]

I was stuck in a job for 17 years that I hated....banking. Then I finally got the courage to take a friend up on an offer to come work for him in his real estate office, as the office manager/his personal assistant. I was a single mom raising two teenage girls....my life was stressed to the max!! But, I changed jobs and now I work for a great boss that installed a TV,a satellite dish, VCR/DVD player and high speed internet service....just to make sure I was happy!! And he always asks if I am happy..he is a really great boss. So, my advice to you is to find a job that you love....they are out there!!...cuz life is too short to be so unhappy where you spend most of your waking time.

[Wildcat81]

My jobs ok! My company has a contract with BP Chem
to operate thier terminal.Were we load Ships and Barges.

[j_dog]
