Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Do you love your work?

I love my jobs. My full time job we have fun and make the best of it. I get to run adult tonka toys. My part time job I turn wrenches for a construction company. Make my own hours soon to have my own shop and no skimping on the repairs. Then there my little farm. I enjoy it mostly. Hauling square bales isn’t a lot of fun though. I have to work 2 jobs to help support my agricultural habit.

I do know... I’m gunsmithing

My Corporate “JOB” was fun, but some of the people I worked with were definitely NOT fun.

Love it, I am retired...

50 years at the plumbing trade. I hate it, even hate the word plumbing. It has been good to me, just tired of it.

now that is called living. what a great life

In the great State of California, too.

most people only remember good times. bad times not so much. it is human nature

Love, no. Enjoy, yes.

Dunno if I love it I have only been doing it for 54 years. Give me some time to think about it!!

No. I do what I do because I am good at it, and it makes me able to have and take care of what I love. As I used to tell the kids, you don’t have to like it, you just have to do it. Give me a crew of guys any day who work to live over a crew who work because they like the job. A job is only needed to fund my life. If I did not have to worry about funding, I would have no use for the job.

Man,aint that the truth. not 50 yrs,36 +,
Enjoy solving problems,but have lost patience,

It is a life of service now. Being a retired engineer keeps me in demand. Too busy most of the time.

Managing the construction of 11 4000+ tonne modules did it for me. Off to Africa... Gotta love the 416 Rem....

Pretty cool...!

I love my job. I don't like the political correct BS,sensitive pu$$ies and all the stupid safety. But in about 4 more years they can all kma and I will get to enjoy all that I have missed.

Gotta love the shorts and the 'stache. But where's the pith helmet?

Ed,
He getcha’ on the wrist?

If I could have figured out how to make it pay a mortgage, health insurance, car payments, and feed the kids, I would still be harnessing a team every winter morning to feed cattle, riding range, irrigating, and stacking hay all summer. Because that was the love of my life.

But I have loved the paychecks and bennies at the factory for the last 40 years. And in 28 months, I will begin enjoying the pension checks.

I enjoy my work.

I the beginning I was OK with it. In the beginning a corrections officer ran his house, it was his house and only his Lt. and Capt had much say. He ran it his way and mostly they had your back. You could be aggressive if you needed to and nobody was really going to persecute you for it. Custody ran the joint, everyone else was secondary.


Now we have cameras looking up our arse 24/7. People who have never done it calling the shots. Gotta walk on egg shells, don't do anything other than by the exact book and expect close examination by those who never have. We don't even call them inmates anymore, they are "Incarcerated Adults".

I liked old corrections, this new way not so much. I get it that some reform was needed, but like everything else it went way too far.
