    I've recently started to hate my job. Took 18 months, but aye, I'm there. We're going on a cruise at the start of next month though and so I'm having three weeks off work which I think is all I'm in need of - a break. I think. I hope.

    Last Friday I came very close to snotting someone. I was that way out.

    Money talks though. Such is life.

    I work for myself so the boss is a ****. The money's good but it's stopping me doing summat worse paid that I'd enjoy more. Was meant to be starting teacher training in September but just not sure I can afford to.

    I go through phases of enjoying it & phases of not.

    Work with a really good group which helps with morale. Not a single bell end out of around 20 staff which probably means I'm the bell end.

    My current job is to buy beer and cider for 2,000 pubs. I'd feel harsh on others if I said I didn't like it. What's not to like? Five brewery tours this week alone, and today I met the Swedish owner of Kopparberg.

    I just had to trek 2 hours out of Jakarta to a shanty town for work (don't ask) - I sometimes wonder what the hell I'm doing when I could be back in Barnsley. Oh wait....

    I'm self employed and work from home.
    I have a ten yard walk to work every day across the garden. Some days I don't start until eleven o'clock but work late until the job's done.
    So yes, I enjoy my job.

    I work for a central government department and have decent colleagues but obviously we've suffered from the pay freeze. Would like to think the job is secure not least due to my performance reviews. One thing not coming out of the election campaign is the plan (or not) to reduce 'central costs' in other words mass cull of civil servants.
