I know I do. Even considering selling organs/appendages... my job is that bad. Anyone else feel similar?

Yes

^ What do you do God besides your gig as the omnipotent being of the universe?

5/20/2010 2:15:22 PM

I work in a call center.

5/20/2010 2:26:34 PM

lol

5/20/2010 2:29:38 PM

that's so funny

5/20/2010 2:32:59 PM

Not me, I just got a raise today.

5/20/2010 2:38:31 PM

i don't mind mine...i'd leave without much consideration if a better opportunity presented itself, but i'm not unhappy

much better than my last job, anyway...i figured that when i actively enjoy my job so much that i look forward to it in the morning, it's not really a job anymore

5/20/2010 2:39:58 PM

good for you quagmire02 - that's fantastic. I hope to get there one day myself! Damn, Yodajammies I want a raise! Congrats!

5/20/2010 2:52:55 PM

oh, i don't love my job, yet...i'm just saying that when i DO reach that point (hopefully), i won't really consider it work anymore

5/20/2010 2:54:12 PM

^Touche sir, touche.

Hahaha! I think I remember chatting with you briefly when I called customer support for my sweet Casio Calculator watch...

I want to quit, but only because I'd just prefer not to work at all.

barring winning the lottery, I'm pretty happy where I'm at.

i wonder how true this is for most people...i suppose "not working" doesn't necessarily mean "sitting around all day doing nothing"

personally, i HAVE to have something to do...i can't just sit there watching tv...but i would love to be able to choose to do whatever i want and not have to be concerned about money...right now, i make enough to be happy and i don't hate my job, so i have no trouble getting up in the morning (though there was a time that i dreaded getting up and going to work each day)

5/20/2010 3:17:16 PM

i used to enjoy it

5/20/2010 3:21:21 PM

^^

oh yeah, i couldn't just do nothing all day.

I'd read a lot, play guitar, volunteer, spend more time with my family and friends, take classes on subject matter that interests me, travel, work out, and i could probably hit the maximum character limit with all of the things i'd spend time doing.

but all of that would only be rewarding/possible if I knew I was financially set for life, like having x million in the bank, living off of the interest or something. If it was a situation where I was laid off and had a year worth of severance, i'd spend all of that time doing whatever I had to do to prepare for my next career move.

i wish people wanted to pay millions of dollars for my drawings of stick figures.

5/20/2010 3:33:48 PM

I too do not like my job.
It's fun sometimes, but most of the time I hate it.

5/20/2010 3:39:47 PM

I love my job, I just wish that other people who are too retarded to follow documented procedures would quit though.

5/20/2010 3:54:26 PM

I, too, wish I had the financial freedom to do whatever I want.

In lieu of not having to work, I often wonder if I would live a very different life if I had a giant inheritance coming. I know a lot of people from wealthy families who work for their own money now, but also don't have a problem financing very expensive boats, working just enough to pay the bills, being students well into their adult life (lets just say they're not going to med school either, lol), etc. I wonder if they would do these things if they had to worry about planning for their own retirement years.

I'm in the same boat as BobbyDigital. Considering the fact that a full-time job is a necessary evil for my life, I actually enjoy the company I work for, who I work with, and what I do quite a bit. No, it is not my dream job (probably full-time musician or writer if I had to choose off the top of my head) but in reality, I have a great gig.
