Well, when I had a job like that - I simply quit and found one that I liked (in fact I liked it so well I stay with it for 34 years then retired).

What do you do, and is the money worth it? Lots of people put up with a lot of shit for the dollars.
I like my job so I don't really know. If it were me, drink, get massages and bjs. |

Find a new job,even if you have to take a pay cut. I left a shitty ass job after wasting 6 and a half years of my life there. I took a little bit of a paycut but my outlook on life has improved so much since starting my new job.

I chose to avoid such things by making good choices earlier in life. YMMV.
So you're getting paid for doing nothing for three hours a day? Doesn't that seem like an ethical issue to you? |

Money is not that great ($40K a year), but it took my a long time to find a job and job hunting sucks. I took this job and I work in a small (10k people) town in Wisconsin away from all my family and friends. I think if I really enjoyed my job it would be worth it or if I was close to my support network I could handle the dull drudgery. It just sucks that I have neither of those things. |

I stare at a computer for five days a week and only do about five hours of actual work in a pay period. My work just drains my soul I really really can't stand it. How do you cope with such a life? I was a Human Resources and Facilities Manager at a company of 100+ people for years. Hated the job with all of my soul and dreaded going to work each day. Sexual Harassment Investigations, Layoffs, Firing people then running into them at the supermarket, having to physically restrain an employee form attacking a female employee an worried about former employees suing the company for bullcrap reasons. People constantly telling me they were surprised I was in "HR" (6"5" 310 lbs) also got real old so I started to think about if the job was all worth it. I just left it and went into a new line of work for a lot less money. I am happier now than I have ever been. |

Sometimes, we couldn't work, but we wouldn't know that until we got to the site. If the rate of "incoming" work is not in your control, then you're being paid to be available. IMO. |

THEY'RE your focus. No wife, no kids. THAT'S different! Get looking for another now while you DON'T have those responsibilities! Very much so, THIS. When you have more responsibilities hanging around your neck like an albatross, it's not as easy to "jump ship"... especially if you are the bread winner in the family. BTDT. I recently quit a job that I no longer liked (various reasons, owner was a great dude, but made some poor decisions) after I had an opportunity literally pop up out of nowhere. It sucks to start over in a new place, but if you hate the work, and can find no reason to stay... move on. I may not have moved on a year ago, when I was the only real income in the house, with mouths to feed and a mortgage to pay. |

I walk outside when it's raining, into either the hot or the cold (depending on the season). I go without food for a whole day and walk everywhere I need to go. Then I realize why I do it !
Seriously, be careful what you wish for. I used to be like you and now I have literally one week a year (at least during the Summer) that I can go on vacation with my kids and wife...because I am so busy. Find your passion, go back to school at night, read books to help you improve yourself, etc. Find what gives you happiness and chart a course for it. |

I like my job, hate my immediate supervisor and cuz of how our dept is, we get new managers every year, so when we do, they want to use our dept for their agenda, gets old.
Im going to fix that problem by saving like crazy and retire earlier than most. In the end ill get the last laugh, for now, I play their game. It wont be long now.................... |

How do you cope with such a life? I sit in front of a computer all day but I love it because I don't have to deal with customers and can listen to talk radio and podcasts all day. But also, I am slammed with work which I find challenging and enjoyable and makes time fly. I come in on weekends sometimes because I want to get stuff done on complex projects that I usually can't because emails and phone calls distract me during regular working hours. I worked 6 hours today, it was awesome! Nobody bothered me! I'm thinking about asking my boss if I can work 2 out of 5 days on the weekends just to boost my productivity. |

A job isn't about happiness. It's about bringing in ducats. Don't quit until you find another job. We're in a bad economic state and it would not do well to walk from a paying job without prospects at another.

I love my job, but its not for everyone. Being locked inside an acute adult psych ward in a psych hospital is a challenge. One of my co-workers really dreaded the place, but was good at his job and needed the work. He showed me his pocket notebook one day. All that was in it was a running tally of how much pay he had earned taking a shit, taking a leak, etc. He was averaging $400 a month in his "shit time". It made him feel better. |

Pay is similar minus all the OT at Boeing (OT as a result of sandbagging the normal work week. Not my doing, that's how that place runs). |
