Default Re: Does anyone have a job that they truly love? (besides poker)

Like most people with a good job, I love my job 20% of the time, like it 70% of the time, and dislike it 10% of the time. Because really, no matter how good your job is there are times when you would rather be doing something else.

Generally speaking, though, my job is fantastic. It's challenging, the compensation is good-very good, the hours are flexible, my supervisors let me do my own thing but help when asked, and the company goes out of it's way to repeatedly ask me if I'm happy and show that they're doing something to change that I don't like.

I think that the only two parts of my job that I don't like are:

1. It's consulting, and occasionally I get clients asking me to do multiple things in the same day/week and I end up working late which I don't like.

2. My company is big, so there is a certain level of mega-company PR-type BS that I typically ignore, but am still subjected to.

So overall, I would say yes, I love my job. But sometimes I would rather be watching cartoons.
