Poll: How many of us like our job?

So I'm leaving for surgery tomorrow morning. I'm going to be gone from work for 3 months...
There are 4 of us at our shop. The two owners, me and one other guy.
I guess it was too much of me to expect something? Even lunch? I've been here since 1999. I don't think I'll make 2014.

Yeah, that really stinks...
Around here, despite the drama and politics that oftentimes ruin a work day, we are all family. Every single coworker showed up to my Dad's funeral, we all recently attended a co-worker's husband's service after he was tragically lost. We're planning birthday celebrations and some days, we just get together and order pizza to say "thanks" to one another because no one else will from higher up.
You do need a change man...would be nice to at least get a pat on the back and a "good luck" from 'em...

What is your profession ? | Off Topic
I find it interesting what other people do for a living. One show watched back when I had a TV was dirty jobs with Mike Rowe. 21 years as a fire alarm tech so far. Different place everyday, new people, and work alone 95% of the time. Drive about 40 to 55 k a year around Houston Texas. Let's...

Hi. I work for Meals On Wheels. It is kind of hard on us. Because you get to know the people as you see them 5 days a weak. The hard part is when the pass away. The great side is I have saved 3 lives. For me it helps me atone [ a little bit ] for all the lives that I took in Nam.

Well big man, you are trying to take over @RedBull 's job by resurrecting old threads......
To keep on track with this thread, I love my job as a retired soldier turned house husband.....

Hi. I am very happy that you like what you are doing. And no red bull does the best job at that. Just saw the posts and the strike a spot in me.
Ha, you’ll be a rookie professional airline pilot too. 
I remember back in the day, I really didn't think I'd live long enough to retire....and here I am...retired now for 7 yrs...
I don’t hate my job, still serving, but I’m still ready to retire lol
I retired in 2016, had a blast, won some bike (cycling) races in 2017 and then spent time on my woodworking hobby.
Long story short, the hobby became a business and the business has me working harder than ever before. We do all the cabinets in new build homes and commercial facilities, see picture below of one of our jobs. We do around one home per week at the moment.
Good thing is the money, bad thing is I hate the construction industry, with all its supply chain problems and its labor shortages.
So next year May, I will retire for the second and last time and either sell the business or just give it away and be careful about a hobby not becoming another business.

Very nice, no wonder you are in demand to do these....
A friend of mine said the same thing, once he retired, his hobbies became work
My second career lasted 26 years and I thought I’d go another five but after talking to the retirement lady it turned out that I’d actually make more by retiring. Took me about a minute to write my resignation letter!
Build motorcycles or go racing, you’ll never make enough to turn it from hobby to profession lol
