Your working life.

[Bobby Dandruff]

I’ve been working now for 44 yrs, and thinking of either retiring altogether, or semi retiring and getting a part time job.
I can honestly say in all of those 44 yrs, I’ve never woken up once, and not wanted to go to my work because I didn’t like the job.
I’ve woken up with stinking hangovers when I was younger, but always managed to struggle through the day.
Including the job I’m doing now, I’ve had 3 spanning over those 44 yrs.
Has anyone on here ever had a job that they disliked so much, that they’ve woken up and not wanted to turn in ?

Lucky you.

I have often not wanted to go to work but never ever thought of ducking it, as that isn’t what you sign up for. That is unforgivable in my eyes.

I wouldn’t say that I have enjoyed working but it has taken me places I never thought I’d ever go, and given me and my family a life that I wouldn’t have dreamt of as a child.

So I shouldn’t complain. Even though I do…… :-/

That really does sum up how I felt too - though I'm retired now. I left at 59. If I'd been one of those lucky people that felt happy every day going into work, I would have stayed much longer. A friend of mine once told me he was doing a career what he loved and couldn't believe he was getting paid for it too. My experience was a million miles from that.

...that he loved.
