im very satisfied, but I still have those days where Im like "I CANNOT wait to run out this door!" I dont think it has anything to do with overall satisfaction, just boredom scale that day. Busy days are great! slow days, not so much. I feel your pain though
I didn't vote because I like my job, it's just not my dream job. My job is pretty easy; I am paid well and have good benefits; I generally like my all my co-workers; my husband works with me so we get to see each other a lot. I almost never have a day where I hate my job. I'm usually happy with it.
I don't really find my work fulfilling, though, so in the next five years I would like to make a career change. Plus, I really don't want my boss's job, and she continually reminds me that she's "grooming" me for that position. I'd rather get out sooner than wait for 10 years when she leaves and everyone expects me to take her place.
I'm having a few "meh" weeks I think! My job last year was really stressful, and I'm thankful that it's slowed down this year. But it's hard to be slower, at the same time. Leaves a LOT of time for surfing...which isn't always good to do at work!
And I'm in a weird spot right now. My FI and I both worked for the same company for the past three years (at different locations for some of that time) and he got laid off in our last round of layoffs two weeks ago. I'm a little upset...but grateful at the same time to still have a job.
I have to say that I LOVE my job.... for two reasons. One - it's not a bad job. Fairly easy overall, with some challenging stuff here or there. Two - I was laid off from a job that I hated back in April, and this job was offered to me in May, so I was so thankful and happy that I was getting a job that I have had this mindset of "I love my job" since then. And the best part.. I can check Weddingbee any time I want 
.
Of course I do have days when I would rather stay in bed, but who doesn't? Especially after a three day weekend!
Well I am in a weird spot. I love my career, I am a nurse. However, I have 2 jobs in 2 different areas and I love one, hate the other. I work contingent in Pediatrics as a nurse, was FT but left bc I was offered a job where I am FT now at a nursing home. I have 35 pts all to myself, they are highly skilled and need a lot of rehabilitation. Its not an old folks home, its a rehab center. I love my schedule 12 hr shifts 3 days a week, nights, but....they have some of the laziest, rudest and uneducated nurses I have ever met. When I go there people that did not do their work during their shift gets left for moi and it then takes away critical time I need with my patients. Management is ignorant and there are so many polictal issues with insurance and them kicking people out because their insurance runs out ticks me off. I get sick going there. But the pay is too much and too beneficial to us. Now my pediatrics job I love and will pursue further with more education but I get excited to go to work there and come home happy, not exhausted and grumpy.
I love my job!! I feel very fortunate. I came from a difficult position and I could feel myself going through this whole transformation. I'm so much happier!
Most of the time, I love my job, but last week I was ready to quit. The stress was completely unbearable.
hate it! absolutely. hate it! Love the field- non-profit, but the job & organization makes me want to lose my mind! but I've had a few interviews in the last couple weeks for something new, so crossing my fingers.
I am somewhere in the range of "Meh" to hate. But most of the time it's hate. Can't WAIT to move away so I can do something else!
I think it's really interesting to see the range of love/hate/apathy and what you do. I keep clicking everyone's profiles =]
I think the lack of socialness is what gets me at my job! Everyone is old and a guy....if i had a friend to chat with occassionally I think it'd be a million times better! I don't really know what I'd do that I'd *loooove* to do, though! Just can't pinpoint what my perfect job would be.
I hated my job that I was in for two years and left one day by handing my name tag to my boss and walking out. He called and swore up and down "I would be back within a year" and I haven't looked back. That was two years ago.
I really love this job..I take pictures for preschools and I love the children and I love photography. There's stress bc you have to meet guidelines and directors can be a pain and unorganized. Some days children and rowdy and mean..others they are amazing! So it's a love/hate kind of job with good days and bad :D
Most of my co-workers I love working with--but most of the time, I'm by myself in my area which I cover. They allow me to travel to all over if I want which I also find amazing because I like to travel (even if it's just me..tho they will pay for my fi to go w/out his foods if he could)
There is a lot of room to be independent and creative. I don't have anyone looking down my back...so they do check in on us and we have conference calls..And our "conference" meeting is a great little vacation and so much fun :D
But, I'm going to school for my career...and god, I hope I love my job in physical therapy..because that first job..taught me that I don't have to be in a job that I hate..I can find another one and I will suceed in whatever I set out to be. I shouldn't have let that boss run my life and my self esteem.
I envy people that actually love their job becasue I HATE mine!! I appreciate actually having a job but I am at the end of my ropes.
If I really truly knew what job I'd *love*, i'd be on it like white on rice! I think that's my #1 dilemmna. As it is, I feel really bad complaining b/c i have a sweet job with benefits and flexibility and amazing pay. But hey, even my doctor last week was like, "oh i hate being a doctor" so I know it's not just me sometimes =]
love my job, though i'm looking for ways to add a bit more meatier responsibilities to my plate. it's pretty much in the industry i majored in so it fits. it took a long time to squeeze my way in but now i'm hoping to stay as long as humanely possible.
It's not my job, per se.... it's my boss, my coworkers, and the company altogether. It's not my dream job by any means, but I don't detest the job duties, just everything else, lol.
Well, I'm a grad student, so I put "don't work," but its actually a full time thing! I don't mind it really, I just keep having to think of it as the path I have to take to get the job I want :) some days are better than others, just like everybody I guess!
@mechiebaby, I see you are a mechanical engineering grad student. As a full-time engineer, reality is a helluva lot different than undergrad. I know it varies from job to job though. An internship would really help if you can snag one!
I love my job - and i can say this after having just the most awful, stress filled day. I own my own business and I just love what I do - but I fought long and hard to get here and had many jobs that I HATED along the way!
love my job - I'm a social worker. love my other job - spinning instructor. love school - school psychology graduate student (done in May, thank god!)
I'm a big ball of love today!
im very lucky, i have a good job with a great company. paid well for my endeavours, my continued education is paid for and they are open to new ideas so when i propose stuff like team yoga classes, massages or personal trainers they say yes so every quarter we have a new team thing (pilates starts Oct 5th!)
it can be stressful and yes, there are odd hours and weekends but i dont feel resentful or taken advantage of - i want to do the best job i can. even my associates are great - we had one or 2 nutcases but they are gone now thankfully so as a whole we all get on pretty well
I used to not mind my job. I knew it wasn't a place I was going to work at forever but it was fine for the time being until I figured out what I really wanted to do. Then my company got bought by another company and now I cannot stand going to work! It is so hard to get out of bed in the morning! Even if I wake up in a good mood, for some reason once I walk in the office that good mood is out the window. My light at the end of the tunnel though is that I am in school to be a counselor and I'm almost finished!!! I love all my classes and I am so excited to be done soon. So I only have to stay at my job about another year and then I'm outta there and on to doing something I would much rather be doing!
I LOVE my job... the thought of not doing what I do every day rips me apart.
Unfortunately it's going to become a reality when I move next year to be with my FH. I won't be able to do what I do here... so I'll end up teaching yoga or working at a bank or going back to school lol. My impending move is truly bittersweet.
Love it enough that the he's moving across the world so I can keep doing it... :)
I voted for LOVE IT though there are some days...hahah. Let's just say, I love what I do, but am not a fan of bureaucracy and drama.
@ejs... so is it better or worse? Hopefully better! I've had a few internships (during undergrad summers), but I should be done next august so I don't really have time for an internship anymore... I do like my field though, I'm just not a big fan of the whole your advisor is your god attitude! So I'm ready to be working and seen as a more independent person 
I go back and forth. Some days I really like it, other days I can't wait to hit the door.
@mechiebaby, well, internships were AWESOME for me. The real world is less glamorous and exciting. But hey, it pays the bills and it pays them nicely and it's not a stressful job. So sometimes the things i see as negative (it's boring) can be a plus. All my advisors/bosses have been really cool. hands-on training is tough tho--our company doesn't have a good ease-you-in policy so ti takes awhile to get out there on your own
I love what I do. I decorate cakes. However I hate where I work. They micromanage everyone and treat us like kindergardeners. boo.
I love my job. There's really only one person I prefer not to work with, and I don't have to now that I open. It's pretty awesome when part of your job is being social...and who can complain about free coffee? lol.
His Barista...I hope you would love your job bc you guys are the reasons I have a smile on my face after night shift, why my belly is warm on cool autumn day and why my change is always gone. I am addicted to where you work and could not function with out a few times weekly visit. You truly make people smile with glee and excited for new seaonsal flavors etc. I heart you guys! LOL! That reminds me, I need to make a run!
I love my job in the end. Working with a special needs population certainly has it's frustrations. Sometimes with the kids, sometimes with the adults involved with the kids. It can be an emotional field. In the end, though, it's meaningful to me and I'm glad I'm doing it. Plus, no office wear, no meetings, no presentations - I'm on the floor with toys all day!
I love my job as a High School Spanish teacher. It is very rewarding, and knowing that I might make a difference in someone's live is great!

I go through my days where I oscillate between a general attitude of "oh today was interesting!", "meh", and days like today where I can't WAIT to walk out the doors and go home. Almost everyone I know just sorta puts up with their job more or less because it pays the bills and, well, it's a job! Especially in this economy. So where do you fall in regards to the job love scale?
Granted, I think I'm having a "hate" day because I just spent 4 glorious days not in the office with DH and I'm always in a weird mood when I take him back to the airport for another super fun stint of us being apart care of the US Army. And I just read this article saying that more than half of Americans are not satisfied with their jobs. Hmmm.
