I'm actually looking forward to going to work

[Dis]

Most jobs I do tend to like for a while (except my last one). But usually after 4 years I'm sick of it.

so we'll see how I feel about this job after 4 years. I haven't even finished 1 year yet.

My job is alright if it wasn't for crappy management and the hassle and stress they cause...

[Japher]

crappy management... it's everywhere!

[Dis]

my management isn't so bad. But we sure seem to have a lot of it. It's funny. When their workload gets overloaded they just hire a new manager (we now have a general manager for southern nevada). But when the regular workers workload gets overloaded, they just expect us to work harder. I shouldn't say that though. They actually did hire another technician. but then they fired one- so that's why I'm working weekends again.

I like my job, though it remains to be seen where things will go over the next few years -- the BRAC folks are moving my job to Podunk, NY, and I won't be following it (even if they give me the option). There'll be a job waiting for me here, but it'll be in a different directorate, so who knows how the new job will compare to the old one -- my current branch chief kicks ass, and ideally I'll be able to transfer to the same branch as him (in which case it really doesn't matter what directorate I'm working in), but barring that things could go downhill.

The last few classes I've taken have been pretty boring, but I've only got to take two or three more and then I've "just" got to finish the research, so that part of my job is going okay.

I'm finishing my M.Sc. in math.
While doing that I have been a TA and such many times but this semester I was actually teaching a first-year math class to business students.
Since being a prof is actually one of my long term options, I was glad of the experience. It kinda sucked that they are not much interested in math as opposed to actual math students, so in a way I will be glad to TA math students again (group theory and such, love TAing those).

I understand where you're coming from -- I deal with the challenge of teaching history to non-history majors at a community college. It doesn't mean I regret choosing teaching as a profession -- I enjoy it -- but that is one of the challenges.

Anyways, I'm also feeling good because I'm working out. It's amazing what a difference this makes. It's just working out has always been difficult for a lazy person such as myself. But I'm going on 2 months now. But I've only recently increased my minutes. I was not pushing myself as hard as I should have. I tend not to push myself hard enough on my workouts.

combine that with a good cradle of filth song on my computer right now, and I'm the best I've felt in years.

My job right now is a full-time uni student, though I do a few things on the side. I have had a little bit of inventory work, which is nice because then I can use the money for more enjoyable things. I like the folks there but what sucks is having to turn down the work for school.

Yeah, usual conversation goes like this :
Lul : there is also this very interesting way to demonstrate that this works...
Student : will this be on the exam?
Lul : No
Student : ok
then all students stop listening until Im back to "exam material".

Less than 10% care about anything in the class but passing it and then forgetting all about it forever.

They usually find im pretty good but find the class hard.
My opinion is that it's a problem that's been following for some time. It's hard to do calculus when you have a lot of problem with basic algebra and such.

I don't have a job, I'm a lazy slacker...

well, it's more complicated than that, but thats what I tell people

I've hated every job I have ever had. Work sucks. I don't know why anyone would ever want to work. IMO, people who say they like their jobs are either lying or they are delusional. How can you like having to wake up early ever day to waste 40-60 hours a week doing stupid **** for pay that is never enough making money for someone else?

I am never going to get a job. I'd rather be dead then live like that. If that is what life is supposed to be then **** this ****.

Either I'm going to find some other means of providing for myself or I will end up dead. But I am not going to slave away my life. Sorry.

I am going to waste my life doing what I want to do. And if that means making sacrifices, then fine.

Because if this is what life is supposed to be, working 40-60 hours a week until I am too old too enjoy life... then **** it... I don't want to live.

This whole dilemma of mine is part of my depression. It may sound childish to some people. It may sound like I am a slacker to some people. I don't care what people think. This is what I believe. If you want to give off to work like zombies and waste your life, fine. I am not going to live that way. I made up my mind a long time ago this is how I was going to do things. It may not be realistic. It may not be practicle. I may not live past 27 or 28. But I am going to enjoy the time I have and not waste it working.

Personally, I'd rather work than spending my days sitting at home simply because I'd die from the boredom. Plus I work in the hope that one day I'll get to where I want to be. Unfortunately only a few are born at the top, the rest of us must scream, kick, and work our way to the top.

because by working I make more money than you.

Unless you deal drugs. But that is work.

Yep. It's good to be respected for my abilities. And I get that working for a small company (did not get this at larger companies though ).

When I was unemployed it was nice having time to play all my computer games. But eventually I grew bored of them all. I played Morrowind to death. But inside I was depressed. I knew it.

but it was still nice taking 2 months off .

I would like a little more free time. I'd rather work 30 hours a week instead of 40.
