yes, surprisingly. i'm working as a waitress and for some reason i even prefer it to my previous job (paintball referee, that was awesome)..
i guess the restauraunt has a great atmosphere, the people (staff and most customers) are really friendly and great to work with.
so yes. i'm quite happy

I work at a bookshop when I am off duty and during uni hols. It's alright as a job with nifty perks. Also I get to glare at those who buy Stephanie Meyer books, so it's all around wholesome fun..like shooting zombies.
Eh, it pays the bills, the people are alright, the perks are good, but the work itself is...bleh.
I love the shit out of my job, I'm a swing chef at a great restaraunt in a nice part of town and make fairly good money, it doesnt leave much time for gaming or any other real hobbies, but it has allowed me to buy all the classic games that got stolen when my house got broken in to
Unemployed at the moment but I guess I could say I was fairly neutral as to the enjoyment of my previous job. It was easy and fairly enjoyable as far as the work itself went, but it was the people that owned the place that made my employment there completely miserable with their bullshit.
Holy cow, I was thinking of putting up this thread
Anyway just got my first job in banking operations.
It's kinda boring, but the hours are reasonable and the pay is ok for this shitty economy.
Not yet soul sucking
Maybe I'll try again for the game designer job next year...

I like my job. I'm a graphic designer (decent pay, benefits, i like the freedom of being creative and designing)
But I HATE working. If that makes sense to anyone but me, haha.

Let's just say this guy was not cut out for catering at all. Sometimes, I really dread going to work. People are very nice, though.
I work with the things i love; music, movies and video games. I get games before releases and cheaper than other people. I love my job!
I've been lucky in that I've more or less been my own boss since the mid-90's. It all started with a bike messenger gig, then I worked for a Private Investigation Agency for a while, but then once again became a freelancer.
Now I have a shiny new multimedia diploma, a freelance design/photography gig and so many different directions to go. Being your own boss isn't for everyone though, a lot of things you take for granted when you work for someone else suddenly become your responsibility, but in my opinion the freedom is worth the sacrifice. Especially when one day I can be designing a poster and building a website and the next doing a photoshoot with a lingerie model. And no, I don't care if you believe me. You don't know who my clients are
So make your decisions wisely, those of you that are still in school. You might think that my life is awesome and you want to be your own boss, but that also means dealing with more bullshit than you have EVER dealt with before in your life. If you can handle it and have the discipline, go for it. If you don't think you can do it, go work for someone else but don't get trapped in a job you hate! Find something you like to do and get a job doing that, but the day you wake up and say "Aw fuck, I have to go to work" is the day you should start looking for something else, even if it means a pay cut. Being miserable and well paid still means you're miserable. Take it from a former wage slave, staying at a job you hate so you can afford to buy things you don't need (Thanks Tyler Durden) will kill your soul faster than watching a Full-House marathon on mushrooms.
But I digress...

I hate my job, tho I enjoy the folks I work with plus I get paid well and can listen to my own music during "down time". The fact that I work 3rd shift is a bonus since I've never really been the type who enjoys waking up in the morning. :B
However, I am starting to consider the dead-end that I'm slowly nearing at that place and considering my options (new job v school).

I'm a floor supervisor at a movie theater, and I kinda enjoy the work I do. I clean trash out of theaters, make sure no one brings in outside food or drinks, and some other basic tasks that aren't hard at all. Sadly, if I'm talking to a customer, they're complaining about something, and most people I work with are lazy, stupid, drinkers, or a combination of those.
I love the nights I work alone, where there's enough to do to keep me busy.

I work at customer service at Office Max.
The stupidity some people have when they enter a store.
I swear, they must lose 90% of their thinking power.
The aisles are clearly labeled, especially for software and computer accessories.
I understand that some items people want aren't clearly marked on the aisles, which I understand,
what I don't understand is when people enter the store and they are looking for printer cartridges,
they go all the way around the service counter, and come and ask me where the ink is...
When you enter the Highland Office Max in Indiana,
the ink is RIGHT THERE AGAINST THE WALL LABELED INK!
...FACEPALM!
