Yep I am missing what I used to do alot of.
I will still be doing this job when I can.
But for the better part of the year I am attending school
and not working 60-100 hours a week.
Lately I miss my fucking job. (i hate this fucking job/i love this fucking job)
Watching these videos almost gives me a brutal erection.

    Yup, I used to be a Pre-school teacher for 10 years however the pay was horrible. That's the way it is for most teachers.

    I still miss my last job. I love my current job...but my last job felt like family...I was there for 6 years and loved it...I just topped out after a while and there wasn't an opportunity for me to get my clinical license...so I had to move on....but yeah...2 years later I still miss it.

    Also I used to be security at the Hampton Coliseum in Hampton, VA. I got to see ALL the major and minor acts that came through the busiest venue on the east coast in the 80's. From ACDC, Talking Heads, of course RUSH, Van Halen, J Priest, Parliament Funkadelic, U2 many others including the last show of the Rolling Stones Tattoo World Tour.

    That was great fun. :)

    I washed dishes at a restaurant while I was in high school. I was in the suds alongside my best buddy. We used to close the place so we were able to cook whatever we wanted before we left. They pay was under $2/hr but we were eating Surf and Turf :D. I loved that job!

    I loved my last job. I worked for a company that financed RV's. That job was a lot of fun.

    Didn't pay jack shit, but it was fun.

    Its too bad that in a lot of cases, we have to sacrafice that way.

    Well it was SOOO cool to spend all that time in the theatre. I mean we lived in that thing! Napped there, ate there, showered there, laughed, worked so hard, just had the best of times. I love even now walking through the door and just smelling the place.
    Even on the bad days I had to pinch myself that I was so lucky to be there.
    Just a great place to be and a great bunch of people and I love going back to visit. :)

    Oh and I miss my work experience at the Zoo! That was AWESOME! :)
    NOPE!!!

    Actually there you go Chaddles, I miss working in theatre. Even the jobs where I thought I would go completely insane with the pressure, I miss. :)

    I go into a new job full of enthusiam,really get into it but about 4 months into it I start to have some kind of meltdown and regret leaving the previous job.I do it all the time and it drives me crazy.Its become like some self fullfilled prophecy for me.I just know its gonna happen.

    I have pretty much the same problem. I've never really "left" a job so I don't have that regret thing, but when I start a new job I get soooo excited and I think it's gonna be sooo cool, and then it's just a huge disappointing slap in the face.
