Thirteen Things I Like About My Job

By Anonymous, Thursday, September 21, 2006


Thirteen Things I like about my job



  1. My office is 1.1 miles from my house, so I don't spend more getting to work than I make. I can come home everyday for lunch.


  2. I don't have to put my daughter in daycare, since my husband is home during the times that I work


  3. I get to work doing something at least tangentially related to my training and interests. Marketing is almost like advertising (or can be), and I do like web development, although I have never, ever done any sort of formal training with it.


  4. Since we don't really need the extra money from me working, it leaves more discretionary funds for amusement parks, presents, and crochet goodies


  5. I have high-speed internet at work; not so at home.


  6. My boss, who I currently share an office with, can not only fire off random pop culture references, but can recognize mine when I get a little random. (Sadly, Friday is his last day)


  7. Surfing Crochetville and Television Without Pity (in moderation) is work related (hey, if we're going to set up vBulletin forums, I have to have experience across different styles, right?)


  8. 7-11 is within walking distance, and being at work gives me an excuse to drink soda. Mmmm, Diet Pepsi.


  9. It is very, very good to get out of the house and have adult conversations.


  10. I have access to all sorts of computer goodies, like Photoshop, Quark, Illustrator, Acrobat... now I just need to find time to use them after work.


  11. I'm better at my part-time job than I am at cleaning my own house, and it's good to do something you are good at, because it really gives me a feeling of fulfillment, accomplishment, and sense of individuality.


  12. I don't have to dress up. I wore overalls to work yesterday, and I'm wearing a Dr. Pepper T-shirt today. I can come in with my hair still wet, and I haven't even worn makeup to work in 3 months. I have started wearing sneakers, but I had been wearing slide-on sandals all summer.


  13. I don't have to answer the phone, and I don't have to make small talk with people waiting in the lobby.
