To love working?

[qualitygirl]

Anyone else? Looking for my tribe? I love my job, love being busy, the pressure but then the success. Solving problems, working on great projects etc etc. Do you love your job and enjoy going to work? I am genuinely excited by my job every day!! I'm on my lunch break right now and just thought I'd ask this off the back of the "AIBU- to hate working!" Thread!

Yes I love my job.

Yes I do, I have a schizophrenia type mental illness and work is the one thing I can focus on that makes my life bearable and I am good at it.
It is my focus so I make it a number one priority.
I get pretty pissed off with the moaners at work, it's a great job and if they don't like it why don't they just do us all a favour and bugger off.

Totally agree, there are days I feel overwhelmed but generally I love managing my own workload and working on projects and fixing issues. Can be so satisfying to finish a piece of work

Love my job currently. Interesting, meaningful, manageable, creative and autonomous.

I love my job (most the time). Don’t get me wrong, I love a day off too but I love that I don’t dread going to work and don’t count down until I head home - not a nice way to live!

I love my job. There are times when it is stressful and pressured but I do love driving change forward and seeing success.

I couldn't imagine doing anything else!

I'm 30 and up until now, I've always either hated my job or felt ambivalent towards it. I worked to make money.

Now I absolutely love what I do and hope to build a long career out of it.

I love my job. I dislike how my manager managed me, but I love my job.

I love my job, I love my company and I have an amazing manager. But that doesnt mean I dont find it stressful and want to scream sometimes.

I work for a HA dealing with antisocial behaviour, domestic violence, child abuse etc and it's so stressful and we are chronically understaffed.

Yes, me too. I really struggled when on Mat leave. I love my job but mostly I love the balance it brings to my life, my family, my relationship.

Yes! It challenges me intellectually, I feel like I am contributing to society, and I have lots of flexibility and autonomy.

No. I like my workmates but just tolerate the job itself. I don't dread it but I certainly don't love it.

Ooh can some of you who love your jobs say what you do? I’m looking for inspiration.

I love mine too! I’d hate to not work. My job challenges me creatively and intellectually and I genuinely do learn something new every day. I’m a marketing strategist.

Absolutely love my job. I don't tell people as it seems tactless and unhelpful as it's so rare. But yes! I love solving problems, I love my colleagues, I believe in what I do and I'm well paid and it's flexible. I prefer it to home life tbh.

I do. But I hate that some staff get away with murder but others don’t.

I am struggling with my current team, but I absolutely loved my job for the first ten years. Hopefully we'll have a new boss by the time we actually go back to the office and things will improve, although I'm keeping a weather eye out for other jobs too. I still absolutely love the work itself.

Is this on the back of the 'I hate working thread'? That one baffled me.
Yes I really like my job. I like being busy and it can be intellectually challenging. I also I feel I am making a difference.

I like where I work and my colleagues are great but if I had the choice I wouldn't work. Obviously I'd have to fill my time some how so wouldn't want to just sit around the house all day (although it would be nice for a bit) and would find something else to occupy me but that would be my choice.

I like mine too.

I love doing creative work. Nearly back to it, school holidays cut in, but I love being left alone to do work.

I’ve also had another slightly less creative more strategic job which I partly like - mostly due to the creative element.

I do, I do something which I really enjoy, is created, I'm paid more than I have I could've hoped for, I'm using my degree, and I get to work with extremely interesting people. I genuinely couldn't be happier in my work

I really like my job, always think younger me would be so proud! And having had a few bad jobs with nightmare bosses/colleagues makes me appreciate my current job even more. Can't see myself ever leaving the organisation, there's still plenty of opportunities for sideways and upwards moves.

You lot are so lucky!
