Do you hate full time WORK?

[sweetlambofgod]

ya I dont like it either but in most cases people have to work full time in order to make enough to live

Full time work isn't as bad as it seems, the Lord has really blessed me in my job and given me the hours of 7am-3.30pm which is great, it still gives me the opportunity to get to banks etc. which shut at 4.30pm. Also it gives me time to do things in the afternoon still. Sure enough work is challenging... it's quite a worldy environment however I look at it as a growing test, it constantly tests my beliefs and the strengths of my convictions, really keeps me thinking about my faith.

I wish I could get paid more!

It's better than being unemployed. Since I have been at my job for a period of time, I get a minimum of 40 hrs. and work during the day!!! Every job has its pros & cons. The cons of my job is that I have to work weekends, including Sundays and there never seems to be enough help.

if you ask for Sunday off because of your religious beliefs they can't say no.

fulltime work will be good i think when i get there, at the moment i do midnight shifts on the weekend and closes during the week as a casual so i can study. It gets old quick.

 

[dusky_tresses]

Yup-- I ask for sundays off to go to church, or I switch around because there are saturday services where I go. It was always nice to not have to take off work during Lent because of the Lenten weekday services. But most people respect religious preferences and work schedules.

OP:

Welcome to the real world. Full time work is better then no time work.
You work alot less then i do and i don't have it bad at all. Look for another job if you aren't happy.
Heres my schedule:
5:15am Wake up
7:00am At work
6:00pm Usually home by 6pm
7-8:30pm Workout
11pm Bed

I'm starting business classes at night so i woun't even get home till 10pm 3 nights a week.

Anything good is hard work. Suck it up.

Way to be positive! (sarcasm)

Yeah this is the real world but a lot of us prefer to not get so jaded.

One thing I've learned about myself is that I could never have a job that drains any "fun" out of my life. My gf's parents have desk jobs that they HATE and have hated their entire lifes... the last thing on earth I want is to be like that.

I thank God every morning on the way to work that I get to do something I LOVE, and that is work with airplanes all day. If I'm not washing them inside and out, I'm helping maintain them, and if I'm not doing that, I'm chatting it up with customers as I refuel/oil their airplanes prior to flight. It's so great. Today I 1)closed access panels and installed interior in the plane I fly, 2) waxed/washed three rotor blades for a helicopter, 3)assisted an oil change, 4) ran-up afterwords to check for oil leaks, 5) got to do a "hot-fuel" for a Cessna Caravan full of skydivers, 6) chat with other student pilots.

Other than that I look forward to every day at work... and the amazing thing is that in just about one year I'll be working at the same place, but as a certified flight instructor.


And also, I am in the (very slow) process of opening my own aviation photography business.

Working for your whole life and getting what you need for it, IS a positive thing!!!

 

[intricatic]

I've found that it just takes finding a place where you can feel like you're doing something for God to make full time work meaningful and enjoyable [most of the time, anyhow].

 

[holyorders]

Remember people- this life is not our life. We are God's property and He gave us freewill because He loves us and not for us to roam wherever we please.

People in other countries have to work in horrible conditions. And what do us Americans have- mostly sitting in front of a computer screen or working with people. WE HAVE IT GOOD!

The only dream worth having is making sure we are pleasing God enough. And most especially NOT ourselves.

I'd like full time work a lot more if it was intellectually engaging, and my coworkers were more pleasant. There are jobs like this out there. If we try, we just might find ourselves there some day. At least, that's what I keep telling myself.

The only time when I feel like I'm contributing to society is when I'm creatively working on something new, and/or discovering the solution to a new problem. Moreso when I am the one in charge of seeing the project to completion. In fact, that's what I do in my free time. I deeply resent having to organize file cabinets (or schedules, or whatever) for folks in management... they'd rather be out playing golf with their buddies instead doing something innovative or novel. Why am I the one working for them? grrr

Of course, it helps to remember that I am serving the Lord through whatever work I do. Then the anger melts away, leaving me numb... but hopeful that tomorrow may be better than today.

I work a full time job and I have three kids. I stayed home with my first 2, but I am glad to get back to work. It keeps me busy all day and it also helps bring in extra income. I need to keep myself busy and work does that. I do have a high stress job at times, but I keep a daily calendar with Bible quotes on my desk to remind me of why I do it. I am reminded daily that God places us in these places for a reason. I am able to share Him with many people. This helps me through the tough days.
