I didn't . So I don't have a job now.

#2 of 41 by murph on Tue Sep 30 13:07:11 2003:

I don't, but it only lasts until December, and then I leave it for grad
school.

Mostly, yes.  That is, if you can actually call what I do having a job.
It's more like lots of jobs.

#5 of 41 by keesan on Tue Sep 30 14:30:59 2003:

I don't in general have a job - I am self employed and have informed people
I won't be working for a while.

Ja

#7 of 41 by gull on Tue Sep 30 16:03:55 2003:

I don't hate my job.  In my experience, most of the time that's the best
you can ask for.

#8 of 41 by cmcgee on Tue Sep 30 16:14:00 2003:

The best you can ask for is a job doing something you'd do for free, but these
folks seem to think is worth spending lottsa money on you to get you to do
it for them.  

I have one of those.  Amazing.

  It's really too soon to tell.  I just started a new one last week.
  It seems to be going pretty well so far but I'm not predicting love..

  re #8:  Or as Robert Frost put it in my favorite of his poems:
          ( http://poetry.poetryx.com/poems/290/ )

        But yield who will to their separation,
        My object in living is to unite
        My avocation and my vocation
        As my two eyes make one in sight.
        Only where love and need are one,
        And the work is play for mortal stakes,
        Is the deed ever really done
        For Heaven and the future's sakes.

#11 of 41 by goose on Tue Sep 30 17:25:58 2003:

I enjoy my job.

#12 of 41 by rcurl on Tue Sep 30 18:03:04 2003:

I did, but I still retired several years after I was eligible to retire
and several years after I realized that my income would *increase* if I
retired. Now I do "pro bono" some of the things I did for pay.

#13 of 41 by anderyn on Tue Sep 30 18:15:04 2003:

Sometimes.

#14 of 41 by tpryan on Tue Sep 30 19:11:12 2003:

        Wish I had a job to love.  I would hold it and stroke it and 
call it George.

#16 of 41 by slynne on Tue Sep 30 19:48:34 2003:

I enjoy my job in some ways. But I have to say that if I won the lotto 
or something, I would probably quit. I would like my job a lot better 
if it were part time. Unfortunately, like a lot of companies, it is 40 
hours or nothing.

#17 of 41 by gull on Tue Sep 30 20:10:55 2003:

I'm not sure if I'd quit my job if I won the lotto.  I guess it'd depend
partly on how much I won.

#18 of 41 by katie on Tue Sep 30 20:44:45 2003:

I love all three of my jobs: the one I get paid for and the two I don't.

#19 of 41 by michaela on Tue Sep 30 21:20:43 2003:

I wouldn't say I LOVE it, but I do like it, which is fairly important. I've
had too many jobs that drove me insane.

#20 of 41 by scott on Tue Sep 30 22:33:44 2003:

I loved my job, but not the career it was part of - software development. 
Serious burnout.  I'll enjoy my new career (audio) more, but never have as
good a job.

#21 of 41 by dah on Tue Sep 30 22:43:40 2003:

I have a penis.

#22 of 41 by other on Tue Sep 30 23:00:40 2003:

Prove it.

#23 of 41 by jaklumen on Tue Sep 30 23:01:19 2003:

So, do you give it a handjob?

#24 of 41 by bru on Tue Sep 30 23:13:24 2003:

I love my job.

#25 of 41 by dah on Wed Oct 1 00:21:59 2003:

22: how?

23: I masturbate frequently.

#26 of 41 by jaklumen on Wed Oct 1 05:34:30 2003:

Good for you.  Keep strokin'.  Maybe I'll give you a nickel if you do 
it well enough.

#27 of 41 by sj2 on Wed Oct 1 08:52:34 2003:

I like my profession but not my job. Hate it infact.

#28 of 41 by jep on Wed Oct 1 17:22:51 2003:

I enjoy what I do and I enjoy working where I work.  I'm at the 4th 
company where I do basically the same type of work, and I'm pretty 
satisfied with it.  I do customer support for EDI software.

#29 of 41 by edina on Wed Oct 1 20:49:42 2003:

I love my job.  And I work at a lawfirm for attorneys.  How insane must I be?

#30 of 41 by beeswing on Wed Oct 1 22:10:36 2003:

I am finding out that teaching junior high kids is NOT what I want to do
for the next 20 years. The library calls my name!

I like my work well enough.  Although when it wasn't working for two years
straight, I really hated it.

#34 of 41 by happyboy on Thu Oct 2 04:59:16 2003:

i love my job!

#35 of 41 by tsty on Thu Oct 2 06:53:46 2003:

i enjoy my work; job, well, not really.

#36 of 41 by susieque on Thu Oct 2 13:07:31 2003:

while I love my job that pays in hugs,kisses, and drawings on the
refrigerator, I also need one that pays with a paycheck. I'll hate it, but
the money would be nice.

#37 of 41 by furs on Thu Oct 2 15:54:28 2003:

I mostly love my job.  My boss pisses me off on occassion, but in 
general it's good.

#38 of 41 by happyboy on Thu Oct 2 17:38:39 2003:

do you go home and slap bignasty around ever?

#39 of 41 by beeswing on Fri Oct 3 02:45:44 2003:

re 31... I have the authority figure. Just don't like the age group.

#40 of 41 by vidar on Mon Nov 10 22:58:51 2003:

I do not like my current job, because it's boring.  My remedy for the 
situation is to search for another job.

#41 of 41 by willcome on Thu Nov 27 07:50:45 2003:

lots of whores like their jobs.  you can tell, 'cause they always have their
own jives on the streets even when there's no music.
