I'm not sure I'll ever know what I want to do with my life. I know what I don't want to do, which is stay much longer in my current job, which I hate.

what do you do Sonicl?

[sonicl]

I'm a pension administrator, which means I keep records of people's pensions, arrange for them to be paid, and have to deal with lots of stupid people who ask lots of stupid questions. My heart really isn't in it any more, and there are times I could almost cry I feel so demoralised.

[jon boy]

i just want somepiece of mind and to be content and succesfull in whatever i do. will settle for piece of mind and not the iron maiden album either.

peace of mind, maybe?
heheh just kidding.

(no, but seriously, is that what you mean?)

[sonicl]

The people I work with are nice, but where I sit I have to get up from my desk and walk into another office if I want to speak to them. By the time I reach where a conversation was happening it's finished.

Hence that I spend so much time on this board.

[sonicl]

I'm moving house in two weeks' time. Once that's all finished and my girlfriend and I are settled in, I'll be looking for a new job.

[_slavo_]

I wanna make as much music as possible
I want to earn some money, then move to Japan and marry some beautiful japanese girl

[alteredcourse]

i dont want to do anything with me life !!!!! they say people my age will make an average of 4 fullout carreer changes in their lives . WOOOO . you mean not just none or one but four significant struggles of stagnation and aimless searches for a place to rot ? wow thats awesome . such variety . i would rather like to give and take and share a lot of love . fuck i hate hippies !

You're lucky to at least have someone to talk to nearby.I generally spend most of the time in this shoebox by myself and the only people i communicate with are you lot,people from the offices around the buliding(via email,mainly),the staff in the restaurants and a parade of mainly posh,easily irritated fuck ups who seem to be the most demanding people in the world.A lot of them are nice but quite a lot of them don't seem to know what they want and when they want it so i have to literally put words in their mouths.I go from hardly talking to anyone for 1 hour to having 5 people all asking me things at the same time.I generally love my job as it isn't bad per se but i'm thinking of changing it 'cause i need a bit more human interaction in what i do and less internet/telephone work.

[sonicl]

Yes, it's amazing how much difference interaction with other people can make to a job. Even the most boring work can become enjoyable given the right people around you.

[porkmarras]

I have to say that the people who work here are generally really nice and if they aren't,it's such a big building it makes it easy to ignore them.All the boys and the girls who work in the restaurants next to my office are very sweet and sometimes bring me chocolate etc.My most immediate boss is a nice man too and he generally doesn't bother me.

[jon boy]

its good when you have a nice working environment because it really impacts on your life. you spend more time with the people you work with than your friends and family. isnt that messed up?

[Tokolosh]

Besides having a job that I enjoy, I find it a nr. 1 priority to have a good laugh from time to time. Humor will save us all in the dreaded claustrophobic environment of the office peoples!

[jon boy]

we are supposed to have at least one belly laugh every other day to stay healthy.
