Your all-male webcam site never take off?


I love my job, I love the people I work with. I don't like being in the same place all day which is why it's great to mix up my schedule with client meetings and opportunities to get out and have lunches, coffees, etc from time to time. I have been bored here today so I just got on the phone with 4 people and booked up my day for tomorrow so I'll be in and out of the office, smoking to and from it. I just wish the damn temp were barely above freezing in the mornings here now

I say a few people have a good attitude about what they do. Some industries like MunkyGirl's actually help to keep you in a good mood depending on what you're doing. What I mean by this is, depending on how you're involved in fitness, it can be a positive upbeat activity-based industry where actually doing your job keeps you in shape and feeling good mentally!

Other organizations where your skills get put towards helping people also really increase your feelings towards your job. Try to think outside the box a little and find a position where you get to mix up your obviously technical inclination with a little more dynamic environment. Get into sales, client relations, something where your office will change locations ongoing as you work in the field.

I founded, own, and operate my own environmental services firm. (See my sig.) I'm doing real science, solving problems, constantly learning something new. Im out in the field a lot with drill rigs, mobile labs, long reach excavators. I'm doing something positive for God's green earth. I'm the boss. (Actually I have lots of clients who think they're the boss.) I control the schedule. (Well, see my previous comment about clients.) I look forward to going to work every day. I'm having so much fun I should be thrown in jail.

Mindcore kept sticking with the original plan. . . I was perfectly game for Plan B: getting folks to pay us to put the clothes back on.
