I'm a groundskeeper at a private golf course. It's physical work and I'm not as young as I used to be. The best thing about working there are the members. They treat me like a regular person and are real friendly towards me. It's just the opposite of Caddyshack. Some of the older members I consider as old friends. Thats what I like about working there.
I *love* my job, too. Here are a few reasons:
- My job is very diverse. No two days are ever the same. I am rarely bored, and if I am bored one day, I know the next day will not be.
- I love waiting on 99.9% of my customers. The majority are "regulars" so I get to know them on a somewhat personal basis.
- My office environment is wonderful. There are only 8 people, and we are like a family.
- I do a lot of design work, so it's a creative outlet
- I feel appreciated
- So many other aspects, too many to list.
I work in a lab, which may seem like a dry environment. Just the opposite! If you get enough MDs and PhDs together it gets really wacky! I think 75% of my coworkers have cats. I knew there was something I liked about this place. Also, what I work on today might save someone tomorrow (we make AIDS drugs, blood pressure meds and asthma meds, and a few other kinds of drugs.)
I am still getting used to my labmates, but I really like my advisors. I like the classes I'm taking this semester, and I think I'm going to get a really good PhD project.
I'm a carrier so...
Jumping speed bumps.
Driving in left lane.
Music on the radio at midnight.
Working with the 48 other psycho people in this town :)
Working with 48 other psycho people sugared up on coffee and cake, who are being trusted with vehicles and plastic bags.
The crazy stuff, and people out at 2:AM.
Throwing stuff at McDonalds. (subscribers)
:p I got lots of reasons, I hardly have a complaint. Its a fun job.
I love my customers (yes, I also do not like a lot of them). Working at Starbucks I get to see a lot of the same customers every day. I enjoy laughing and joking with them, we talk about our pets and their children. We have customers that really care about us, they ask about Payson and the kitties, how rugby is going. In return I know the names of their pets and children and about their jobs. It's nice working a job were you make lots of new friends.
- The number one thing I like about my job is the hours I work:) Although I work every weekend, I usually only work 3-5 hours at a time.
I can trade, swap, and give away any hours I don't want. Then pick up any hours I want to work. There arent' too many place around that you can do that!
- I also like the money. I love having money in my pocket everyday! Some days are bad, but then you'll turn around and have a GREAT day:)
I work for an ophthalmologist and have been there 10 years. I can jump in almost anywhere to assist in the office, but I cut back to part-time several years ago and so right now my main job description is doing all of his transcription. We have some dear patients and they even bring us treats and pictures of their new family members (grandkids, in-laws and outlaws LOL!) and even mail us postcards when they go on vacation. My boss is very good at what he does (I would trust him to do surgery on my eyes any time - sure hope I never need it!) and my co-workers are great. The office is small - 7 of us, counting the boss. Five of us have dogs and they are as crazy about theirs as I am about mine so a lot of our break time talk is about dogs! :cool:
