i hate my job - a recent thing ?.

We already have the brewery tap next door

 

I love my job. Been a software developer since 1988 - there's always something new to learn and I enjoy solving problems, writing programming languages, designing GUIs etc. I work for a large company but am pretty much a one man band, I am the sole developer of all the software I build and they pay me very well ;D

I got made redundant in 2003 after 10 years in the same company in London so I moved back oop north, moved into my parents for a few months and sat down and wrote an entire software suite - I set up a business to market it - it won several awards - one of which was:

The main app in the software suite looked like this:

Although since selling my company to the company I now work for I have rewritten it from scratch using the same GUI technology used in games (DirectX)

which was nice O0

if you get chance for a job change ,give it ago you can always go back to driving

 

I've done loads of completely different jobs, but it comes down to money and how much you need doesn't it?
When I had a growing wife and family to provide for single handed I managed to work my balls off and cope.
Now I haven't I can't imagine it. In fact my main aim in life now is to cut out as many overheads as possible and work as little as possible. That's fine for me but if you have an Italian missus with a penchant for sporty cars...

If you need all the money you earn driving and your alternative is back to building/development which I'm guessing made lorry driving look attractive, you're stuffed mate.

 

thing is your stuffed without the coin :'(

 

and been middle aged the balls are going

 

I never got truck driving ,tis a bit like prison [confined in your cab]but without the cell mate to talk to...

never got office jobs either....

Get back into renovation ,tis kinda like you have achieved something ... :-*

 

the thing is i think its slightly healthy not to like work but if its making you can’t really bear the thought of going to work then you need to move on
i mean we would all love to stay at home and work/play with busses all day but how long before that turns into just a job
but then again if i win the the lotto my job will be the first thing to go fact
at the moment i find it very annoying that i ve got nothing at all to at work and i mean NOTHING
and so much to in the garage at home

 

if we all liked our jobs life would be.......


a whole lot better than this marmite i got now i have have some pooh jobs but this one is the first office job and i hate it but its just better than picking boxes its the politics of that does my head in grrrrrrrr but still i have a job that is the only plus

 

One of the girls who used to work here saved for years to buy a camper van. Last year she'd saved £20k and went out and brought some Fiat monstrosity. She also jacked the job in and toured round Europe with her out of work boyfriend picking up scraps of jobs on farms etc. The ended up going all over France, Spain, Germany and Italy and even worked at Cannes film festival.
Now she is back and setting up her own consultancy business so it can be done.
