    I have various different part-time jobs that add up to a quasi-living  - I'm not full-time in one job. And my hours, depending on the day/week, usually go off-and-on from morning through night. So, my feelings can sometimes change from day-to-day/evening-to-evening/job-to-job -- but in some ways, that can make it all interesting. And, fortunately, I enjoy all the jobs and they are in fields I enjoy. (Not literal fields with grass, ha! But fields of 'grass' sound good to me at the moment, ha!)
    And I work every weekend of the year.

  • I am retired 2.5 years now, but I remember very clearly near the end of my employment the knots in my stomach, because I knew wage statements were waiting for me at my desk ( I was a work comp. rep).    I remember not even enjoying the entire weekend, because by Sunday that knot always returned.   It was awful.     It wasn't always that way for me, just the last 3 or 4 years prior to my splitting from that hell hole.

    Awful most of the time -specially when I worked as a rail yard switchman in Winnipeg during the winter and called off the spareboard for a midnight shift -i'd be all nice and drowsy ready to hit the sack and then have to go work outside where it's minus 20 or 30F switching rail cars around.

    My first 15 years of teaching, I was so eager to get to work...I loved my job. The last five sucked. Too long a story to tell, though.

    Another day, another euro/dollar is my feeling. I am luckier than most in that I do not have to work, I could pull the plug any day w/o a great financial loss.  I do what I do because I like my job, also I have a great contract.  I work under EU rules not American rules so...... I ma better off than most.

    Doc and myself are waiting until her legal contract with Austria is complete in a short while, then we are pulling the plug

    I always enjoyed my work.  I was just exhausted the years I went to school in the evenings and worked during the day, both full time.  So work wasn't the problem; I was just so tired some days a fire could not have made me wake and dress.  But, like all hellacious periods, it came to a welcomed end.  When I took early retirement I walked away and never looked back.  I have never worked for anyone since.
