something you like about your job

Heffalump

Name one thing (or more) that you like about your job.

I was thinking about this because I'm still somewhat disappointed that my interview people are planning for the end of the year.  I was hoping they would be my ticket out, and now that they're not, I feel sort of stuck.  So I was forcing myself to try to be positive and think of what I like here.

I love my window.  When they subdivided the conference room, I got the giant window.  It's about as wide as my wingspan (5-6 ft) and runs floor to ceiling, which is maybe 15 feet in here.  I love it the most in the afternoon in the summer, when the air gets unstable and those ginormous puffy pre-thunderstorm clouds start to form.  I spent the better part of a conference call once watching a huge cloud rise higher and higher until it seemed like it was going to swallow everything else up.  And I overlook trees.  It's a nice view.

Your turn.

I like a lot of it - the work I do, my boss, the location, the hours. Also, it's a small, family type business. They're understanding about family obligations as well as personal time. My boss even told me that if one day I didn't have someone to watch Mr. Loverman, I could bring him into the office.

I can wear whatever I want to work, which is a true luxury to me.

The only thing I don't like is the bathroom. The building I work in is old, and all the women on my floor share one bathroom. The bathroom is old, dirty and smelly. I hate when random people from other offices or from the street wander in. I really prefer privacy when I go to the bathroom.

I can do it in my pajamas all day, every day, if I wanted to. 

I never have to ask for vacation or call in sick. 

I'm the boss.

my boss is awesome.

I like the fact that despite my "position" and "rank" I still get to go on awesome business trips.

I love the family feel of my office of over 200 people.

My boss is fantastic, and I love everything about the campus (minus the parking situation).

Well, if I'm talking about photography as if it's my job, I love everything about the actual shooting and editing process. I love working with the animals, and playing with the pictures.

I don't care much for the business aspect of it, but it's not awful.

My two coworkers and big boss. Big Boss did an agenda for a meeting to give to us and the title was "Long-Ass meeting". It made my day (and it's been a shiteous day!)

My bosses and pretty much all of my coworkers.  It's the most drama-free place I've ever worked.

my bosses are pretty cool. one was dancing (literally)when i told him that I closed on my TX house. 

director for our group heard I was pregnant, and came to find me when i was in town last week to give me a high five.

That I can wear whatever I want (mostly).

The commute.

generous with the time off.  i get a lot of time off in general, and a lot of paid time off.

i have enough in the bank that i can take three months maternity leave without a lot of problems, time or money-wise.

- I work at home and we couldn't probably move anywhere in the country (maybe the world) for DH's job and I could keep mine as long as I have a phone and high-speed internet

-  I get a lot of vacation time

- I don't work with any completely mean people

oh, adurr, my paid month off during the summer. I've never seen another job have that.

My mind moved the comma all on its own.

HA! He's awesome, but I DO NOT do him.

There are some nice benefits, like massive discounts everywhere (hello 23% off of my cell phone bill, $18 membership to nicest gym in town), and pretty low drama/maintanence CWs.

I love (for the most part) seeing patients again. They are cuh-ray-zay but interesting. I wish I could tell stories.

My co-workers ROCK. They threw me a party today.

I like the work. It's challenging enough, and there is always plenty to do.

It's a casual work environment. I'm in a tee, linen pants, adn dressy sandals. Better than my last job which meant dress pants, nice shirts, and heels.

The hugs are the best.

I also like taking a few naps and snuggling on the couch.
