The fact that it's Monday morning, and I don't have to go in. No questions asked. (y)

They're paying for my Masters. I like that also. Plus I work with good people, and we solve some interesting problems.

Free car, free iphone, 4 days on 4 days off shift, 5 weeks annual leave a year.

Mostly my own boss with lots of freedoms.

I work three 12 hour nights a week.

I get days off during the week...which means I get to enjoy things around town while everyone is working (also a negative sometimes being solo).

I am lucky to work at one of the top hospitals in the nation. Amazing nurses on my floor...and doctors too!

My patients. They are what makes me truly love my job.

My required outfit is black jeans and a black T; rock my white addidas and essentially bust a move all day around the greasy ass floor.

I brought in the Check Your Head and Dr.Dre's The Chronic 2001 CD's to my work and was encouraged to play them as loudly as the shitty CD Player could play them.(y)

i couldn't stand my job if things were more rigid here. i get to basically set my own hours and wearing jeans and a t-shirt isn't a problem.

the oversight is also pretty lax. i almost freak out when the boss actually has something "important" to say, but then chill out once i realize he just wants me to hang a picture in his office.

I'm in charge, and have the most seniority in the company next to the owners, so I can pretty much do what I want like make my own schedule. My coworkers are nice. I live 4 miles away, and almost a direct parallel route. I get to make things all the time.

mikizee's job has always sounded rad to me. Reminds me of when I used to fix jukeboxes/pool tables/arcade games and clean bouncy castles for a living.

I like the training and job experience that I've gained. I also like the fact that thanks to my current job, I'm more knowledgable and concerned about other parts of the world, because I have friends and know people from all over the world now. When I'm done with this career, I will be better off for having done this job.

nothing. i work with complete simpletons who earn more than me for doing considerably less. regularly having sick leave, whilst maintaining a better contract.

Yeah cheers, some days I fucking hate my job and want to quit but then I have to remind myself that I've got things relatively easy... for instance I spent the last hour at a fast food restaurant reading the paper and now I'm at a friend's place surfing net on my laptop and getting paid for it. Then when its time to go home I can drive home in my fully paid for company car.

Oh, and I just got a new iphone as a work phone... now I have two!
