Friday lulz. R u lovin' it yet?

[luzribeiro.livejournal.com]

I've often heard people saying they don't love their job particularly much, but since they've been pressed by the circumstances, they're compelled to keep doing it. Reality can be very different from our dreams, and we people like dreaming about better things than the ones we're having.

But sometimes, just sometimes, we really DO feel like we're in the right place, doing the right thing. Yes, there ARE people who love the job they're doing, whether because it's really an awesome job, or because they've somehow made themselves to believe that it's the right thing for them, or the best thing they could get at this point, or some other explanation that makes them feel more peaceful with themselves.

So my question is this. Actually two questions. Do YOU love your job? And if yes, what is it exactly that you love so much about it?

And because we're all about the Lulz right now... visual and/or audible material would be helpful to illustrate your point.


Me first!

NAIL WIN.

I consider myself ridiculously lucky. I loved the work I did at my last job and I'm doing similar work now. I hated my job because while I liked what I did, I hated management(except the managers I reported to directly; strangely enough) and I was woefully underpaid.

Now i'm making a pretty decent living and I have an awesome view of broadway out my window.

Out of curiosity, what's your job if it's OK to tell?

[taiki.livejournal.com]

Web developer for a small multimedia firm.

Meeting new and interesting people in various places where I haven't been before... while making some money in the process. What can I say? Oh, and I love just walking around cities and looking at cool houses. Part of my professional distortion I guess.

Visual evidence, you say?

That's what THEY'd want you to think! Actually it's a secret UFO-launching silo!

[abomvubuso.livejournal.com]

It's conspiracy month! And that, too, is a conspiracy!

[mahnmut.livejournal.com]

What a coincidence! I'm a social worker, and my wife has just launched a book-store. Heh! It's a tiny world.

[mahnmut.livejournal.com]

I'm gonna bring the boerewors and teach you some braai!

[nairiporter.livejournal.com]

There is no bigger joy than this.

[nairiporter.livejournal.com]

Actually the "scaring them into screaming" part is the best!

[nairiporter.livejournal.com]

Some of those guys are really hard to scare. Kids have become more badass over the years!

[abomvubuso.livejournal.com]

Tip: try using THE WORD! "Bath timeeee!" They'll freeze with horror.

[luzribeiro.livejournal.com]

That would not work unless you also use THE VOICE.

[abomvubuso.livejournal.com]

That goes without saying. But I'll take it from an ex babysitter.

[nairiporter.livejournal.com]

But if they are frozen, they will not be able to scream!

[abomvubuso.livejournal.com]

Ugh...

Okay then, you can unfreeze them so they can start screaming. From the cold AND the horror.

I have always been split between journalism and ecology. When I was invited by a magazine to join their wildlife reporting section it was like a dream come true. I mean is there any comment needed for this?

My job allows me vast chunks of time for procrastination. Nuff said.

I'm retired now, but I was a graphic artist (it was called "commercial artist" when I started). Every job was different; every client was different. Never the same thing twice... got to draw cartoons, hire talented people, direct TV commercials... loved it all!

[luzribeiro.livejournal.com]

Got samples? I'm curious now!

[sandwichwarrior.livejournal.com]

My old job...



Yours truly appears in a receuitment video/aka where my user pick came from. (http://www.navy.com/careers/special-operations/air-rescue/)

My current major/what I want to do in future...

They were filmed at Cape Disappointment State Park in Washington.

They used my partner Papi for the interview portion because he's more photogenic and less prone to cussing but we both took turns rappelling for the camera.

For 15 years, I got paid to drive boats. Consider what people are willing to pay to put on a captain's hat and toodle about the harbor, and you get the idea. I got paid to do that.

You want to have real fun, though? How about getting paid to drive a truck . . . into the water?


My old ride.

Once I got married, things changed a bit, but I still love the operation of Big Stuff.

OK, this is seriously very cool!
