Love of the Job

[Spencer Mulcahy]

Well I have just finished a late shift at work I have been covered in Shit puss and blood today but I still love my job. I work in an operating theatre.

I know how you feel!

I like my job and enjoy playing with and building computers, I enjoy the custom builds that you have to think about more, but the management leaves a lot to be desired and I work with some right nobs, I'm team leader and cant really go any where in the company, the moneys shite and 50 miles to work and back is starting to do my head in!

I really need to get my cv done and stop browsing the web, but when I lost my job I had no idea what to do and I am just in a rut at this place!

at least I have racing to look forward to on a weekend

Bathy after another shite day at work I laughed my ass off at that one!

My last job i loved i was an unit manager for a roadshow company looking after my trailer and all the staff/jo public, i travelled the uk and europe met lots of fantastic/famous people and lived the life, i also met some complete loons, the down side i was away for many weeks at a time + i got paid quite well too,

I now drive a taxi which i hate, i spend all day moving smelly horriable lazy scumbags who would benifit from some exercise,

Do your CCNA, it's far more interesting than the run of the mill MCSE stuff. Money's better with that on your CV too.

Sometimes I love my job, sometimes it makes me want to scream and hurt people...

I work in a Children's Library and until recently its mainly been a Saturday job. But since I'm grown up now and have been downgraded from a student bum to just a bum for the summer I've become a real person who works more than 6 hours a week...!!

Basically, I issue and return books, join people, all that usual library stuff. But most of the time I'm preparing crafts and activities, doing them with kids, yelling at kids, sorting out the computers and that kind of thing... the people I work with are awesome and most days its a really good laugh.

BUT the library's right next to a really rough, horrible estate so you get scum of the earth in a lot. I've had to phone the police lately... which isn't great. Its annoying when its the 10 year olds terrorising you, but quite scary when its the 16 and 17 year olds! But then you get the toddlers... who are absolutely gorgeous...!

Pity I'm leaving in 6 weeks... then I'll be working in a poor-ish school in Chile, trying to teach little hooligans English (Geordie!!). Can't wait!

I only get paid 15 pounds a week, but it gets me out of bed every morning and it also keeps me fit. The best part is i can get time off anytime that i want, all i have to do is ask the papershop to get somebody to cover for me, or to get my bro to do it for me.

Im the same i have a paperound but i dont have to go to school. Also i get up just before i have to go and do my papers (3.00pm) but i get pai 28 pounds a week.

Currently self employed in property maintenance which was supposed to be filling in between jobs but seems to be ongoing. Can be fun, depends on the customer you get. Get the odd freelance modelmaking job as well, last job was building scale models of vans for an exhibition.

Previous job I was mechanical engineer in charge of R&D and building animated and animatronic figures for shopping centre Christmas displays and built and installed the figures for the Meadowhall and Metro shopping centres. Very interesting work, great fun just playing with ideas every spring, building figures and displays in the summer, then October to January travelling UK and Ireland installing, maintaining and dismantling the displays.

Before that I was a modelmaker building engineering prototypes (even an r/c prototype for Tyco!), display models and interactive museum displays.

All great fun, interesting work but none of them pay much.

There are times when i really enjoy it, like when i was on the tools and i was getting stuff done but since being in the office and supervising the lads its not as much fun.

I think if i could have my job and the same money and be home every night i would be very happy
