I’m retired, but my last job was at a medical clinic in Richmond. The one thing I loved was
the hours, 6 am to 2 pm. Starting early meant there was little traffic driving to Richmond, and getting off early meant there was little traffic driving home. It also allowed me more time to do things after work. It was the only job I ever had where the eight-hour day included an hour for lunch, and with the two 15-minute breaks, I only worked for six and a half hours, and was paid for eight.
The one thing I hated…nothing. It was family owned, the family treated us good, and paid well.
Love my job…. the only thing that would be better would be to be not alone in this thought.
The one thing I love about my job is probably a three-way tie. It’s challenging, I’m well-suited for it and it pays very well. What I dislike is the stress. Most jobs can be stressful, and it’s something we have to adjust to. Some jobs are more stressful than others, and my job falls into the latter category. Healthy eating, plenty of exercise, a lot of good friends and being happily married helps.
I love the people I work with, and most of the customers I deal with. I hate answering the phone.
I no longer love my job, probably never did. I enjoyed it, but that enjoyment has left. I guess the one thing I can love is that I am in the last stretch of that race to retirement, and this gig will be the last, at least that is the plan. Many things I dislike, but the one I will state is, it is a highly regulated industry (aren’t they all these days, in this nanny state at the state and federal level?) and there are so many barriers and hurdles that really should not be there.
Love- helping others
hate- wealthy & their city with a greater than thou attitude
Love the big pay check. Hate everything else about the job
Loved the work and co-workers…. my boss was from another planet but got her way through the ranks by “batting eyelashes” and well… you know…. was a micromanager that had no clue & no common sense
I dig my gig.
The mission, the technology,
the people, the pay.
may not retire
on schedule.
Let’s see how bad
the economy gets.
I love the intellectual stimulation from my current “retirement job” that is nearly full time and my previous full time job. I hate the commute to Silicon Valley, especially the Sunol Grade.
