maybe it's just me but i have been at the same job for over 15 years and man have i started hating it the last few years. just getting bored. i do electrical work and work on turbin engines but the only thing i look forward to now is the weekend. during the week i am on call and might get called back to the plant anytime of the day or night, or that dreaded 2am call! the pay is great, the benefits are great and for the most part my co-workers are great but after 15 years you just start thinking their's got to be something better out there? i don't plain on changing jobs this late mainly because i would be crazy to throw away a job that pays this good and one that i can f#@* off on the internet like i do sometimes, like today. but i just wonder sometimes how many other people feel this way about thier jobs?

 

They say that 75% of working Americans are like you and me.

I'm not rich enough to just walk away and try something else or to go out on my own, but mentally, I'm bored stiff working for "someone". I grew up w/ a dad that loved what he did and worked (7) day/week. Hell, he didn't retire until this year - he's 73. I would love to have a job I loved even if it meant being there 6-7 days/week rather than this.

Anybody need a project manager to run your construction project?

There's a support group for people who hate their job. It's called "Everyone" and they meet at the bar.

 

Shady, you always crack me up. When are we going to meet up for a weekend dune trip.?
I hate my job too. I have a great job, I am a salesman, have a good product, good territory, make my own hours for the most part, and I still hate my job. I wonder about guys like Selector's dad and mine, and I wonder if something is wrong with me?
Then I realized, thats why they pay me to show up!

 

It would be easier to ask who likes there job.

 

As funny as that is, it's also sorta sad - you know what I mean.

 

Yep , sad and true!

 

in my best Fred Sanford voice: Don't nobody go set'n up a dune trip 'round these here parts w/o talking to me too! Damn!
