I am 140 or 147 depending on what part of my job I take. the actuall company i work for is fairly crap!

BUT

However I am a mercenary  

I work on the principle that most of us are not lucky enought to do a job we really like.  So you have to spend 40ish hours a week doing something essentially dont want to.  Therefore its what you are able to do outside of work thats important. So:-

"Job satisfaction is directly related to the money in the bank at the end of the month "  as this enables you to do what you really want to do  :D

However  I fully accept that this is not the ideal way to work and envy those who enjoy what they do

The one thing we haven't mentioned........
If you haven't got a job that you enjoy.....(I'm very lucky in that respect).....If you work with, or meet people you really like......I think that makes a huge difference.

Agreed. I used to enjoy my job. Now, not so much.

I used to love my job and look forward to going to work every day. Now I just do it for the money :(. Even having a great bunch of guys to work with doesn't offset the daily sh!t I have to deal with. Looking for other options this year to take me to retirement.

For the first time since leaving the military I'm actually doing a job that I love. I get up on a morning excited about what lies ahead which I haven't done for years.

The banters great, 99% of my colleagues are mad as frogs. The other 1% I dont bother with. Waste of breath.

I definately dont do the job for the money, in fact i earn almost £14k a year less, but it was that or face an uncertain future on the redundancy scrap heap....

There's loads of politics around the job but thankfully they are with a small 'p' and nothing i can change so why bother?

I get to meet people with incredible life stories as well as a fair share of nutters.

No two days are the same and whilst I dont agree with the way the public abuse 999, the work definately underlines that variety is the spice of life

106 for me...meh =)


Had another look at this: apparently I'm at 34 :)

I can live with that ;)

93 in terms of what it says on the tin BUT the tin is very small and doesn't come close to the mean sallary.

I wonder if these are London/SE wages >:(?

If I got the mean salary I'd probably rocket up to about 92 or even 91!

Nosher

Isn't all statistical information based on the London rates? :-<

Because politicians only know other parts of the country exist when it comes to election campaign time.  :Ph

They didn't give a sh*t about the floods until their taxpayers money second homes in the thames corridor were at risk.  >:(

Far more eloquently put than my rant ;)

It's the sentiment that counts: I agree with both :)
