Why I like my job thread

“Time for a drug test, I see.”

“I normally like my job, but not this week. I'll be lucky if I manage to salvage Sunday and not have to come in.”

“I got a new job a couple weeks ago. I lOVE it!! Although I am not around here near as much as I was. Oh well..I guess you just can't have everything. But life is pretty dang good right now!!!”

“I love my job, every day I WANT to go to work, and thank the universe for having it! My office ROCKS!”

“Just passed the 13yr mark at my job and still love it, actually I enjoy my work now more than ever. Great boss, free college and no OT or wknds (at least this year).”

“Some mornings I consider putting my testacles in an 8" bench vice just to be able to call in sick...”

“Gah..I don't have em but STILL cringed...”

“OK, maybe that's a little strong...










but definately a 6" vice”

“Boss is letting me take half days while I do my renovation in order to use less vacation time. Oh and he just bought me a crapload of new tools.”

“LOL...nother long night (or short night if you count the couple of hours of sleep) but it was fun....had a confession with in 5 countem FIVE minutes of beginning my interview....Heck suspect rolled when I identified myself.

Apparently her "homies" told her if she confesses to me it won't be as bad......”

“SWEET Birch!

LOL! Gotta love it XL. She's taking legal advice from people she refers to as "homies". Sounds like a great decision to me!”

“...why I like my job....it pays my bills and there is something called medical reimbursement, which if you think about it, is like an untaxable raise :)”

“i take it back.....#&%!$ this job.”

“i get time to come on hear and waste taxpayer dollars on friday afternoons. that's pretty cool.”

“I thought the saying was, you get to work half-days and the boss lets you pick which twelve hours :)”

“I had the final meeting with HR and finance today and I was approved for an additional 45days paid time off next year (july 1st)!!! Gonna do some traveling for sure.”

“Awesome!”

“congrats birch!

oh, by the way...you're wife was hitting on me today ;)”

“oh, by the way...you're wife was hitting on me today ;)”
thriftyhiker

“ROFL!”

“Dang Dude...thats friggin AWESOME!”

“You must've built up some time over years for that, birch. Congrats!”

“i'm open”

“I love not going in to work.”

“Damn bro. 45 days??? Hell, that is 9 friggin weeks! Keep that up and they will be paying you to hike in another 3 years!”

“Only 13,140 days until I can retire.”

“Why I love my new job :)


Just got my new schedual and since I am almost at the end of my training days it's changed then the past 2 months of schedual.
I get 3 3 day weekends in a row :) love love love it!!!! hmmmmmmmmm what should I do with all these 3 day weekends? This is soooo much better then working all weekends, all holdays and 14 days in a row at a time :) sure there will be nights I get called in for surgeries at 2 in the am, but it's still worth it!!!

“I've worked those 2:00 a.m. surgeries and they weren't fun. Then again, it was after 12 hour days.”

“i work outside, i work with kids, i never work nights, i have weekends off, i have the whole summer off!

what else can you ask for?”

“Money? :)”

“can't have everything”

“Agreed. Go for the money:)”

“i had a job with money. job sucked.”

“Wish I could find a job that is easier than this retirement thing I'm doing, playing house wife helper sure shows me who makes the globe spin.”

“I reckon if Billy Shakespeare had been eatin' mushrooms The Globe would surely spin.”

“Marko, have you been hanging out with salebored too much? haha!”

“I love my job because my replacement is doing all the work and I am spending my last day killing time on TT. It doesnt get better then that.”

“as you all know, my company is moving to NJ.
it will cost me more money that I can afford and the ride will be almost 3 hours one way.
I have been stressing out about it for a while.

well today I had a chance to talk to the CO and he told me not matter what I will be going with them ( I felt that love)

he said if it was only a matter of a car, then not to worry about it he will take care of that.

I may be getting a company car :)

so now my migrains can go away :)
I am very lucky to have this job and would have done what ever it took to keep it, but I love this ending better!!”

“Cool!”

“How will you drive 6 hours every day? will you be paid for travel time??”

“if I get a car, it will only be an hour ride one way.
if I do not get a car, I would have to take public transportation which means more money and longer rides.”

“ohhh I gotcha...well that sounds GREAT!!!

If we were to get Chattanooga, I could keep my job and have about an hour drive, not perfect but doable...but I am not holding my breath for that. There isnt even an opening at this point...

GOOD LUCK!!!!”

“mmm I must have been a good girl today because yesterday I was annoyed.
I was not given any credit for a report it took me three months to put together.

well today I was given full credit.”

“and I'm taking it back. Now whatta ya gonna do?”

“For the first time since Dec 29h I went to work at my civilian job. It was great, a 15 minute meeting and then off to lunch. Gotta love it!”

“LOL was it a liquid lunch?”

“Actually it was DORK. I saw one of my coworkers and told him to join me. He wasnt sure. I then called him and mentioned how important it was and 45 minutes later he was there, and he bought no less!!”

“15 minute meeting??/Dang you are lucky....”

“yep, it was quick. Basically verifying that I am still on paid status through the end of the fiscal year and giving them my updated schedule and making sure that I get my allotment of vacaction,personal and sick time in two months. Exchanged a few pleasantries photocopied all my med records and then headed out.”
