Re: Monday Poll

  • How long have you been at your current job: this is my 5th yearWhat is the worst job you've ever had? hmm, probably when I spent a summer up at school and waitressed. The restaurant drama there was the worst, and we were all in each others business. We disliked the bosses, and the job was stressful. We always went out after work, and those nights are some of my fondest college memories.What do you like about your current job? honestly, pretty much all of it. If you won the lottery and didn't have to work, would you? yes definitely, but I would quit my side jobs!

  • How long have you been at your current job: I just started my 9th year in FebruaryWhat is the worst job you've ever had? I really have liked all of my jobs, but if I had to pick a worst one it was working at a daycare center in college.  I love the actual work, but I hated that I was just a floater and never had a set room to be in.  I just went where they needed me.What do you like about your current job? I love helping my students be successful in something that they are not good at which for them is school in general.  If you won the lottery and didn't have to work, would you? I don't think I would.  I would have to do something, but I might just do a little tutoring.

  • How long have you been at your current job: Trying to start my own company

    What is the worst job you've ever had? It's never been just one job but aspects of a job can change and make it unbearable. That has happened several times.

    What do you like about your current job? I'm in my PJ's and I don't have to drive in bad weather.

    If you won the lottery and didn't have to work, would you?  I would invest more money into my business ideas. I don't really want to ever have to work for someone else again.

  • How long have you been at your current job:  It will be four years on May 16

    What is the worst job you've ever had?  Barrier windows, it was telemarketing even though they insisted the job was as an appt. setter and that I had to do it for a week before the would 'promote' me to secretarial work.  I was there two weeks and walked out.  It was REALLY bed

    What do you like about your current job?  I am a full time mom. I love my kids.

    If you won the lottery and didn't have to work, would you?  Actually, if we won the lottery, DH and I would probably start a small business so we could work on our own terms and could afford top childcare for when we did want to work.

  • imageHoneydew1894:

    How long have you been at your current job: Just over 2 years

    What is the worst job you've ever had? Lead teacher in a 3 year old room at a day care center.  I got hit, bit and spit on.  Not cool.

    What do you like about your current job? I'm pretty independent throughout the day, able to work at my desk or go out and visit my clients in the workshop.

    If you won the lottery and didn't have to work, would you?  I would probably work  b/c DH's company doesn't offer benefits.  But I guess we could afford to pay for those if we won the lottery huh?  I'd have to work at least part time or I'd go crazy.  I'm definitely not the SAHM type.

  • How long have you been at your current job: 3 and a half years

    What is the worst job you've ever had? Corporate Support Coordinator for a public radio station = glorifed ad sales

    What do you like about your current job? I have so much flexibity and get to work from home

    If you won the lottery and didn't have to work, would you? I would probably get a part-time job working at a coffee shop or retail store - somethign to keep me busy, but not something where I depended on income... or I would substitute teach all the time - I would LOVE that

  • How long have you been at your current job: 7 months What is the worst job you've ever had?I got hired to work for a painting company one summer during college. The orientation was rescheduled a couple of times and when I showed up to work on my first day, the boss showed up 15 minutes late, and then abandoned me and another girl who's first day it was, telling us to scrape the paint on the outside of the house while he went to go rent a pressure washer. It then started to rain.Both this other girl and myself had gotten rides to the job site, so we were without shelter and we decided to head for the nearest bus stop. As we were about halfway down the block, the boss pulled up and offered to drive us to the mall (for a better selection of busses). When I got back home, I called him and immediately quit. What do you like about your current job?I work in an infant room in a daycare. I love it. I love the babies, my boss, my coworkers. It's a very professional place, not like the place I worked at previously where the girls are gossipy and rude. The people here really love working with kids and its obvious.  If you won the lottery and didn't have to work, would you? If we won enough that we didn't need the money, then I would probably not work for money, but rather volunteer in some educational/childcare way.
