Ok, so we've all got to get up out of bed in the morning and go earn a living, but do you love the work you do? Why even Brad has to go to work, or that spiffy Jag he just bought goes back to the dealership, and that would be sad for those of us who live vicariously[?] through him.

But I digress. Do you love the work you do, if not what would you like to be doing? And try to be realistic.

Myself for example, I work as a clerk in a civil service job. It pays the bills, but I would love to have a job working in computer animation. Especially after I saw The Incredibles!

For those not loving their job....something my grandfather told me when I was 10 or 11 and complaining about having to rake leaves.

If people liked it....they wouldn't call it work.

Wow, necrothread!

Do I like my job?  Hell yeah.  I get to work on amazingly cool stuff each and every day.  Where most of the folks I went to school, and later worked with, are in jobs where they do one task, and that task takes months and months.  I also get to work with some extremely smart and cool folks.

A stark contrast to my previous job, which I hated with a passion.

Po'....Hope things look up for you soon! Make sure the nitro is being used for the right diagnosis...sometimes chest pain isn't from the heart. A good question to ask your MD is,
"What else could this be?".

Anyhow, I enjoy reading your posts and really do hope things get better for you.

Love my job at Stardock!

I really enjoy helping folks with their Stardock issues, and as Zoomba said, getting to work with some amazing people (Zoomba excluded).

I used to like my job alot. Now I dread waking up in the mornings thanks to the group of lazy morons we have working for us. Really sucks when you have to put in almost twice as many hours a week as you should because you have to spend so many hours a day on the phone walking people through thingsthey do everyday step by step.

I loved my job (livestock farming) until a very rare metabolic disorder crept up on me & rendered my muscles useless, I now have round legs (wheelchair), & and set my energy levels to minus ten. that was 15 years ago, went from a person with a good memory & always on top things to someone who's brain is permanently out of gear, apparently the brain takes a lot of energy to run, & can not remember what I did 2 minutes ago.

But hey, I am a glass half full sort of person, every cloud has a silver lining, I would probably have not found Wincustomize if I was still working, skinning is the thing that keeps me sane, I am hooked, although I can never remember how I did the last blind & if I got to keep referring back to my previous skins, what is the harm in that, I have no schedule to keep so if takes me a long time to complete a skin, Why worry?

I suspect I am not alone with health problems on this site, although I see few people complaining, the ones with serious health issues are usually the ones who do not shout.

Ditto. I always figure someone is much worse off than I am. Glad to see you here and gaining some benefit from this great community.
