Am I Only One Who Enjoys Going To Work?

I enjoy my job. I recently changed jobs, so maybe there's a honeymoon effect, but I am happy with the nice people, the interesting work, the scope for development, and I took a 10% salary cut, so it can't be the money...

I like my work most of the time. I like it more when there are tough problems to solve and less when we don't have that much to do.

I work from home, get to help people fix problems with their computers, what's not to like?

I look forward to every day that I work, and sometimes even sign up for extra days.

I despise you all.

I own the company, so work doesn't feel like work any more. Work and life have become the same thing. Very strange.

I am very ambivalent.


Almost nothing gives me a deeper pleasure than knowing I am working really well...it's kind of a high...and I love the intellectual and emotional challenge, and the joy of seeing the effects of good work is intense.


But I find it extremely stressful at times, almost more than I can bear....and if I am doing a bad job, or get stuck, I feel really terrible.

I work from home too and get to design brochures and ads and newsmagazines for a hair care company so it's all beautiful women and thoughtful, appealing design (at least we try!) and I feel blessed and never for a moment do I forget about those in miserable jobs who think that's all there is. My heart aches for those people.

When I first learned the Mac about thirteen years ago, in a really great position with a major regional theatre, I could barely stand how excited I was to get to work every day. I'd turn that baby on at 9, look up and it was 10:30, look up again, 1:00pm, come back from lunch and next thing you know, it's 5:30. The days went by so fast, I couldn't believe it. It was crazy.

I wouldn't have your job for the world. Bless you for doing it.

I have always liked my job. Lately, the physical aspect of it is beginning to weigh me down . . .
