    Are you generally satisfied with your job, workplace, collegues?
    What's the thing you like most, what don't you like about your current job?

    What are the benefits that your employer provides?

    Or, if you are self employed - how's it going?

    Just interested. Don't answer what you deem private.

    Easy and interesting enough to keep me there. Also I am very well paid for what I do.
    Sorry I forgot to answer what I don't like about my job. Not necessarily knowing exactly where I am going to be working in the near future. I go to different locations sometimes with short notice.

    My job allows me the freedom to influence certain aspects of what direction the company will go, so I get a kick out of that. Basically, I'm the expert on what everything is going to cost, so if I say something is just too expensive to justify, odds are good that the owners will factor that into what direction they want to go with certain developments.

    When the owner asks me "What have we got in Lot 210....", I know it's because he's trying to determine if an offer is worth taking. That gives me a taste of the sales process, so I enjoy being somewhat in that loop.

    Having enthusiasm for what I do for a living has definitely been one of the most positive influences in my life. Having done something for many years that I neither enjoyed, or respected, I have lived on both sides of that fence.

    I work at a local grocery store just as a high-school job. It pays well, flexible hours, and good managing. Can't say it is the most exciting job in the world but I am content with it.

    The important thing is to do whatever you do at the grocery as well as you can possibly do it. If you do that, you have no worries.

    All work is noble, as long as you do the best job you can. And increasingly, in a world of lazy ass people, hard work will get you noticed, and rewarded.

    Ask any business owner his biggest challenge. Odds are he/she will say finding and keeping good people.

    Beyond satisfied with everything. It's what I am meant to be doing. I love the freedom, independence, pay. I don't like the ingratitude by some. I help keep people alive and am a spiritual exhorter.

    I'm pretty satisfied with my job. Not quite enough to go re-up my contract, but I'm enjoying it while I'm in. I like most of what I do. The operating heavy equipment, some of the training, the deployments. But I really dislike a lot of people there. It's the terrible thing about getting mostly people from fresh out of high school and putting them in positions of authority. Not in all cases, but in quite a few they don't know how to conduct themselves in a lot of situations if they are brought up too quickly in the Corps. As far as benefits? Full Medical, Dental, a place to live, places to eat for a pretty cheap price, occasional tax free pay, life insurance, I'd say that's all pretty darn good.

    I'm self employed, which has its benefits. i.e. today I'm going surfing after lunch ( couple of hours time).

    Disadvantages, the boss is a prick!
    If he doesn't lighten up, I'm leaving, if I don't fire my sorry arse first.
    He's messy, disorganised and impetuous, he does however know when to have a long lunch and red wine sure beats instant coffee at lunchtime.
    Anyway he'll have to pull up my socks or this half baked, one trick pony is going down the gurgler and I'm taking me with him.

    Once in awhile, when I travel, I find lonely older women that pay my way to be with them. I find this very interesting and rewarding as well. They are OK to be with some of the time which is all they want. Being a gigolo isn't easy for you have to put up with them and their problems. At least I change partners every time so that is interesting.

    Oh, about me, I'm quite satisfied. Working for the gov, so it's a stable job and my employer doesn't have the risk of going out of business in these turbulent times. The colleagues generally are very nice and my work is interesting to do and what's the most important bit - there's no routine and almost every problem is new and unique.
