2. Often
But I go anyway. Sometimes I wish that I was only paid minimum wage so it would be easier to leave. I'm not paid great, but when the average wage in town is $11.50/hour( which includes nurses and other higher paid professionals), it makes it hard.
I am looking for another position. I had 2 interviews for a good position but lost out to someone with more of the specific experience that they were looking for. I just applied online to a major company but am somewhat doubtful because my experience in that specific industry is limited. I had a temp job there my first year out of college, though, but unfortunately I didn't work hard enough to make a memorable impression. I was in the process of interviewing for permanent positions at other companies so I underestimated the importance of my time there.

3. Every day.
The sad thing is, I should be grateful to have such a great job.

4. It's the third thing I say each day when I wake up:
1. "What time is it?"
2. "Whats the temperature?"
3. "I don't want to go to work."

7. I never have a day where I DO want to go to work.
But it's especially difficult at this time of year.

9. This is a rhetorical question, right?
Edited on Thu Dec-24-09 12:15 AM by Still Blue in PDX
I'll answer anyway. Every doggone day of my life.

On edit: I'm thankful that I have a job. I like my job. I'm just tired as all hell. I wish I could retire, but I'll be working until I'm 100 if my employer will have me.

10. Interestingly enough I have a lot of days where I DO want to go to work
and I didn't really think of that til now.

But yep, I sure do have those days when I really DON'T want to go. Having had some in between job insecurity not that long ago, I remember that my glass is half full now.
