That's a slogan we usually see in other company's bullet boards and lobby's and everytime i read it, it makes me sick thinking that my work seems boring sometimes and oh a lot of times i must admit! I get paid for duplicating all these Credit Applications and deliver them all to the Credit Committee for deliverance (what a boring job!). If there's a boring job that will beat mine.. let me know! Oh, excuse me, i'm about to finish 50 pages of documents, let me just get it off the sorting trays.. 10,000 pages more to go... im outta here.

I look at the inside of plastic bottle caps through a magnifying glass to ensure they are devoid of defects. A good 4-6 hours of a 12-hour production shift involves nothing but this. The other half is filled with other various quality tests all so your damn soda pop will be fizzy when you open the cap.

Only do your job well if you like it. Thats my philosophy.

i never want to drink soda again :eek:

I've had my share of crappy jobs (spent 3 years in the backroom of a bookstore breaking my back living boxes of books), but the say thing is that the good jobs are almost as depressing as the bad ones. I'm doing something decent now (writing course materials for a software company) but the sad thing is that I'm not much happier. Why? Because at this level all the employees are a bunch of self-centred, shallow idiots. Instead of working all these people do is whine about their husbands or how they want a bigger house or car or go on a trip. The office envrionment kills any enjoyment I might have. So while your job might suck, rest assured that the people with "good" jobs are no happier.

Keep yourself happy outside your work. Don't let your work become your life and you'll turn out okay.

I coordinate the testing of fax machines for HP. Its not that bad I guess now that I am kind of the boss, but the actual testing is boring as hell.

all jobs have their mundane aspects guys, though i must admit i feel for porr Jomapac being so far away from his loved ones. that must be hard, respect buddy, keep your chin up ;)

trust me its a means to an end, i got waht woudl be deemed a great job, i trade oil im well paid, am comfortable but do I wanna be somewhere else **** yeah.

Cities grind you down after time, it may not even be the job but the commuting in lame assed conditions, the freaking weather over here, theres always something guys.


i think if you can be happy more times than you are sad then you are doing alright in life. Sorry that sounds a a bit pious but its true.

Make your family and loved ones and friends smile by wahtever means in person, a fone call, a card,, take time for them and you will be richer than any job can make you, thats what i reckon anyway.

I agree about Jomapac, that sucks being away from family and friends. At least my job is business-trip free, more or less. From what I've heard around here from people who have to leave town you mostly spend your time in an office in the suburbs of whatever city you're in, so it's not like you get to see anything anyway, and when you can go sightseeing you're not with anyone you know.

I try to have interests away from work too. I really like history, especially European and especially middle ages-early modern. At least I have incentive to make money at work so I can save up and take courses in those subjects at the university here. Plus there's always boxing, which is just as compelling (hell, probably way more).

thanks guys for keeping my head afloat, and chin up, at least now I know its job, a means to an end, and i know deeply what the end is and it makes me smile.... thanks guys

I used to be a gynocologist and I still like to keep a hand in it.

Retail jobs are only bearable if you can rip into the occasional customer. You need to scout well though. I can only recall two instances where customers were actually offended by my humor.

I used to love it when customer mouthed off because that gave you full license to rip into them as bad as you wanted. That always made my day.

I never did said anything. I just glare at them like I am gonna jump over the counter and throttle them.

By ripping into customers I mean playfully.

For example, An elderly English lady ordered a "Hahm and Cheese sub" (Hahm = Ham with an English Accent). I said "I am sorry I don't know what Hahm is." She laughed. My manager yelled at me.

My bookstore shared a space with Starbucks, which always opened earlier than we did, so when our store opened we had to open up a security door between the two places (a big clear plastic thing, like what they use to close stores in shopping malls). Anyway, this regular at Starbucks always used to yell at us for the noise we were making because he was trying to have cell phone conversations. I kept my cool until one day he said he "Didn't give a rat's arse" that we had to open this door when the store opened. That's when I was given free reign to say whatever the hell I wanted to at him. It was worth him saying that just so I could do that.

I dunno, what people say on the otherside of the counter just never bothered me.

Maybe it's a different situation. You see them come and go quickly. Our customers would hang around for hours every day and annoy the hell out of everyone.

I did hear about some guy who would show up at Starbucks early each morning and throw food at the staff when he was mad. Apparently they couldn't ban him because a manager had to be present to witness this, and none of the managers wanted to get up that early. Nice.

man, this is sad but true... my best friend got his dream job a year or so ago. he's more depressed now than he ever was because he works with shallow, small, minded petty people just like in Bombardier's quote above who look down on him and treat him like ****...man, this is depressing...sry

that's sad man... one whole year b4 you go home?

i used 2 work in pub - out back washing dishes, that was just part time work tho lol, id never want to go back to doing that tho its just the worst, especially when your working in a kitchen and u havnt had dinner and you gotta do a shift till 11/12pm

from that i went on to network engineer, where i spent most of my time puttin in cat5 (network cables) into small businesses and schools and installing the server cabs and puttin in switches etc, was real boring job after a while and quite tiring as the days were long as we travelled all over england and it was manual labour, me being the younger of the 2 people in my partnership i got to carry everything :rolleyes:

right now im doing home study course with cisco, and applied to be an techie at a local school, till i pass my course

buy money coming in is better than non at all, and no matter what your doing you will more than likely get bored of it after a while even if you love it at the start, just think of the money yo!

that's sad man... one whole year b4 you go home?

give and take a few months its more of two years, but if i am lucky will be back home by June... :) :) :)

how's the weather there, jomapac? the weather there i think is like in arizona, my officemate will settle in arizona and she said that in arizona, it's like extremities and all that, as in if its hot, it's too hot, and when it's cold, it's like freezing cold. i should be lucky enough because i'm with my wife and son, and i see them everyday!

i feel better now because of all the responses here, it's what i thought really that to be able to lose all this tightness in me, i should express it myself and so that's what happened! so i should thank all of you here! THANKS.

maybe its similar to arizona but i am not sure, now its getting colder here, its winter time, but on summer days you can boil or fry eggs outside without using a stove....

good for you to loosen up a bit, i have to join you in thanking the other guys what they have said here...
