Do you like going into work every day?

Published on September 13, 2005 By 47songs In WinCustomize Talk

Do you relish getting up every day to meet a new challenge at work? Come in contact with good people?

Or is work a drag? A pain in the...? A heartache? A twisted nightmare? Boring?

Today, my second day back teaching preschool after a wonderful summer vacation, I was kicked, spit at, dealt with a screaming ear piercing temper tantrum, a child who cried the entire time she was there, one who gagged as if to vomit because she was crying so hard, and two children who wet their pants. And yet, I wouldn't give up my job for any other on the face of the earth! I absolutely adore it! Because I know that after a couple more times back at school, these children will come to trust us (the teachers) and the environment we provide for them. And I'll spend the rest of the year as if I'm in the middle of a season long series of Art Linkletter's, "Children Say the Darndest Things."

How about you? Do you like going into work everyday?

My 'real' work has morphed over the past 30 years....used to be 'creative', now it's 'conciliatory'. An Architect no longer designs FOR a client...he designs AGAINST beaurocratic discrimination.

Do I like it?

Would you like to be continuously brown-nosing to the Planners and Councillors that are in your way?

Is it the satisfaction of having a client happy with a design or is it of getting the better of some arsehole hell-bent on vindictive obstruction?

Architecture is [now] a mug's game....and I'm your resident mug.

It's the finished product now. You have to be able to take something from that. Once all the inspections are over, the CO is about to be issued and the property ready for people. That's when I show up to just kinda "take it all in"

Reflecting about how lucky I am to have two healthy children, a wonderful marriage, and an incredible job that allows me to meet and work with such exceptional children.

Yes.

Yes. I really like my job. It's the upper management that usually brings it all down.

Well... yeah actually. I miss it when i don't go. I'll admit that I still don;t like what I do (unload boxes out of a truck) but the possibilities are endless... seriously they are. They have lots of programs for education and moving up in levels.

Plus I get allot of repeated muscle movement.

Depends on what mood I am in and whether it's busy or not.
