It's hard to explain. I both like and hate my job at the same time. When I try to like my job they give me plenty of reason to hate it but for the most part it's easy but it gets difficult at any moment just got to keep your wits about you and not let the bull shit get you down. [Reply]

I get the normal homesickness and it sucks having to watch the Chiefs at 5am but this has been an amazing experience.
I'm fine, thanks for asking. I get to write for a living, which is nice, even if I'm not particularly interested in what I'm writing about. THanks! [Reply]

I bet the Panda Express' there, are outstanding. [Reply]
No complaints. Sold my largest business last August. I could comfortably retire today at 51, but wtf am I going to do? I enjoy working and having the financial comfort of taking off when I want to. I love my little Company I have right now - myself and my biz partner. We do deals that interest us, and take on a fun project now and then. It’s all good. [Reply]

I love Chinese food but when you eat it every fucking day it it gets old quick lol. Luckily there’s enough western food joints here to keep me from going crazy. [Reply]
35years at the same job this month. don't hate it, but i'm sure tired of it. things sure change over all those years. all the people that were here when i started have retired. just a bunch of damn kids. their music sucks. they park in my parking place. they never put a new roll of toilet paper on when they use the last of it....yeah, fuck this place...i'm out of here as soon as i can get out.:-)
sec [Reply]
I'm generally happy. However, the success of my job often depends on my patients doing what I tell them to do, and often times, they don't. That is frustrating. Fixing someone up, only to have them come in 6 months later with their teeth covered in fur/cheese, is very much a bummer. [Reply]
