My job is to stay home all day and avoid Final Destination. It sucks pretty bad. I already papercut the crap outta my eye bad enough that I needed corrective surgery just to be able to wake up in the morning w/o feeling like my eye was going up in flames.

You're all lucky you have a job to hate. I don't even know what that is like. I however did do volunteer work at a church on Saturday mornings before doing side jobs for my mother and step father's private contracting business doing paint/prime work. The pay was good ($10/hr.), but the conditions were in different climates. One was back in the past summer where I had to paint/prime an attic that's converted into a bedroom, and with no AC, that room got to nearly 120 degrees. With the economy hitting the construction industry so badly, it's time for a career change, and I chose a customer-oriented job (hopefully Best Buy). I have an interest in consumer electronics, and since I haven't done a retail job before, I've done my research on how to satisfy a customer and on a variety of produts, and it doesn't seem like such a bad thing to get into. Plus I found a site a few days ago called Glassdoor, and it has the exact interview questions of specific places, and a review from the person who was interviews with an indication if he got the job offer or not. It's a good way to better prepare yourself for an interview if one were to show up, because you have an understanding to will possibly show up.

So if job hunting every day is a considered a "job" then yes I freaking hate it. And I hate having to take a personality test just to get my application to the other when I rather fill out a paper application (which I was taught in high school) and hand it in person with a short presentation of myself. I mourn for the good old paper application days and the end of online personality tests.

I haven't been happy with my job for a while. The bosses are flat out nasty and no matter how hard I work, I never get a "Thank you." or a "Good job." All I get is barked at.

Just a few weeks ago I got suspended for loosing my temper and they want me to take counseling, which I'm doing, but at the moment I really don't feel like going back to that job. I'd rather go back to working in fast food.

I love my job! I work at one of the big banks processing applications for travel cards, which involves a TON of typing and zero customer contact. I can listen to music on my iPod all day and it's great! I also test one of our programs one Sunday a month, and that's really fun.

I did my time in the customer "slavery" industry and I was miserable, so I see this awesome job as my reward for putting up with abusive customers for 10 years of my life.
