Oooh, it's rather awful to work at a job you hate, isn't it? I'm lucky enough to genuinely enjoy my job ... most days. There is certainly the occasional day when I resent the fact that I HAVE TO LEAVE MY BED, but most days my students make me laugh and sometimes even cry (in a good way).
How do you feel about your job?

What an adorable song for a Friday morning! Most mornings I love my job - but, like you, there are definitely some mornings where I pout and whinge and think ''do I HAVE to get out of bed? Really?!''
I LOVE my job.
My previous employment ranged from working in restaurants while at uni, then in an extremely boring office job. I then decided I needed to change my life, and went and did my masters. two horrendous years later I am finally where I want to be! I am a very proud Music Therapist, who gets to spend her days with amazing kids and sing songs <3
All I can say right now is "meh". I do not love mine, but unfortunately I feel very, very stuck.
We're told not to ask ourselves this question when we're writing papers/publications. Those are bad times. Hahaha.
The rest of the time...it depends. I enjoy the intellectual and social freedom/flexibility too much to do anything else.
Oh this video is adorable! Actually, watching it makes me realize how much I DO love my job! Even if I had a crazy hectic day just today, I'm not in a cubicle and I don't watch the clock while i'm there. So yeah, thanks for posting this!
I'm with Renai.
And while I do feel stuck at the moment, I'm plotting my second escape from the same place (I already quit once).
I'm hoping to spend the next two years living on less and tripling my student loan debt while taking heavy class loads in order to get my second bachelors. First is in zoology (interesting! but unmarketable); this time I'm leaning toward accounting (which I actually think I'll like!).
I hated my job so much that one day I never went back!!! I had no back up plan but in the end was well worth if. Being Happy is the best gift one can give themself. I am still looking for a job and I often doubt myself, as well as other doubt me, but in my heart it I knew it was the right thing to do.
ohhh, today was a bad day to ask this question, ha.
generally i love the work that i do and am glad to have found a position where i can do good, write, and make a decent living.
actually typing that out made me realize that i love what i do. the organization i work for may be a different question, though!
While I've only got a part time job, it it soooo much better then my friends! I'd take teaching dance & working at the studio over McDonalds any day!
I love my jobs :) I'm a social media blogger for a Minneapolis ad agency, a community builder for a couple of app review sites, and am about to start a communications position for a non-profit I'd have worked for for free (shh.... don't tell them that!). I love my jobs :)
I love my job as a waitress (mostly)-- but I think a lot of that is because the money is sick and I know I won't be doing it the rest of my life. It sucks that it's ruining my only 21-year-old body (never had sore wrists and ankles before this, my 4th, year at the job). If I knew I'd have to do it the rest of my life I'd hate it, I think.
I love my job - I am just hoping it opens more doors leading to Opportunity Land since it currently isn't something even close to being able to live off of
Hate my soul-sucking cubicle job! This song is SO TRUE. Glad I have things like Yes & Yes to make it through the clock-watching days! Staying positive can be hard when the work is dull, your boss is a tiny Italian dictator, and your psychopathic coworker tries to get you fired. I am grateful for my job & benefits in this economy, but the long hard slog makes getting up and going in every day tough. Sing it with me: Someday...
working part time has prooved to be a life saver for me, indeed. so happy i can afford to live this (frugal) way, because my life at home is far more interesting, whilest i'm happy enough at work! i couldn't survive it if it wouldn't lift me up just a little...
I can't work at a job I hate. The longest I've stayed at one that I positively hate is three months. Can't say that I LOVE my job now, but it's not the most terrible one ever. Someday, I do hope to have a job that I love though.
Woah, this is so relevant to me because today is my last day after 6 years at a 9-5 cubicle job! I quit to go volunteer in Bhutan for a while. All my co-workers would relate to many of the specifics covered in this video! So glad I'm out of the cube farm today...
Oh boy, does that song ever resonate! In just a couple of years I'll be done with my degree and I'll be able to teach the youngins how to channel themselves into art, and how to be passionate about something. Won't that be graaaaaaaaaand!?
I have so been here before; had a cubicle job I *hated*. Not especially ashamed to admit that I spent way more time browsing the internet than working. They hired me under false pretenses, promising me an internship with research and writing opportunities. My title on my first day? DATA ENTRY OPERATOR!? I had four other offers that I turned DOWN for this gig! I spent two months being their professional robot before I quit early.
PS - This is just like the Chemical Brothers song video "The Golden Path"! It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy :D

Oh, Sarah! I've put so many of the songs you've featured onto mix tapes for my friends... how about I cut out the middleman and just hire you to make the mix tapes directly? ;c)
This song is apt for me, too, at the moment - I'm switching from a job that I thought would be gloriously fulfilling and ended up sucking out my soul, to a job I thought I never wanted to do and now can't get enough of. Neither involves a cubicle, or even an office (though my previous job really *needed* an office), but the spirit still applies.
I work at a hostel in Berlin. This has been my job since last April. Met loads of great people, but frankly: I'm exhausted! The place is great, but since it's very small we are only a couple of workers. Add that I live here. This means being at work at almost every waking hour. Not to mention, always having to be nice to everyone and blabla. Arrgh, pressure! Last summer I worked at another hostel in Istanbul. It was crazy and intense and my boss was crazy and aweful. Finally after 6 weeks I decided I had enough and left. Best feeling of my life :D Especially cuz it was the first time I could actually leave something I hated and decide about my life...POWEEEER ;)
adorable :)
Ohhh this has been me for the past year. "Muffins on Tod's desk" is a frequent occurrence, and I always go straightaway... young twentysomething me never passes up free food. I DO love my ergonomic chair. But the love ends there : /
I enjoy my job, but to a point since I'd rather work for myself and am moving in that direction. Great song, it may be my new motivational anthem.
Ugh. I HATE my job. I'm in one of those I'll work here just for a while till I save enough money but then you end up realizing you're 5 year anniversary is coming up! It's not particularly difficult and the pay is decent but it isn't mentally stimulating or fun or makes me happy. I'm in the process of trying to start my own at home business so I can quit asap. I don't really dream on becoming rich but I'd be happy if I made what I make currently. Enjoying what you do and being your own boss is awesome :)
