    I love working.... If I were rich tho, I would rather do something I enjoy, instaed of working where the money is.

    I definitely need to work, but maybe 5 or 6 hours a day would be better. Maybe more if its something I really love to do.

    i wouldn't be bored if i didn't have to work, that's for sure. if money wasn't an issue i'd love to travel, create art, take classes, do volunteer work. anything i do in my offtime, but just do it all the time really!
    exactly! except maybe I would take one year at least to do nothing, just to scratch my belly and contemplate future possibilities!! :D

    I loved my last job! I was really sad when I had to give it up. I was learning all the time and I got to stay up all night! (CARER). ;)

    i work with a guy who said if he won the Lottery he'd still come to work for the company... : confused:

    I actually suggested he should get a hobby and he took umbrage to that?!?!? : D

    people who get bored have no hobbies.. its on http://www.dunkfacts.com

    if i was in a position not to work... i'd spend more fucking time watching my kids grow up for one thing.. 2ndly i'd spend a shitload more time playing guitar, watching football, travelling, mountain biking, walking in the mountains... fuck sake.. i'd have so little time to spare that i wouldnt want to spend it talking to some dullard about the chinese booming economy or the weather... i dont give a fuck about those subjects... i wanna talk about music and Rome.

    Yeah there's no way I'd still come to work if I won Tattslotto! :D
    Well not unless it was my dream job. :) In which case I'd be doing it for the love of it anyway. Which I do now when I can for no bloody money at all! :D

    I can't open the link dunk so can't see all the wordly wisdom! ;)

    But yeah, I probably need to find more things to do, probably not all that stuff you'd do, but more stuff.

    I'm just saying that I had all those plans and ideas about what I would do if I didn't have to work or I wasn't working and it doesn't really pan out the way you think it would. Case in point retirees! :D
    NOPE!!!

    this is the most pointless thread since PJfan01 started a thread called "who here is a PJ fan"

    everyone is gonna say they would prefer NOT to work.. if they say otherwise they are a liar... or a pornstar.

    Not so. I know people that are loaded (many millions) but still make it in to the office pretty much every day to conduct business and stay active. For some their jobs are their life, it's just who they are.
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    Just a couple I do some work for. For example the guy donated 13 million of his art collection one year to a local museum. I'm guessing they have hundreds of millions but are not billionaires.

    i loathe those people... you'd think it was cool jobs like film director and stuff.. but the guy i used to work with owns his own printing company and he said if he won $10million he'd invest it in the company.. when he asked what i'd do i replied "get the fuck out of here"... thankfully he laughed :o

    and its mostly guys like that... accountants, estate agents, paper clip salesmen... they would all still work :confused: fucking weirdos


    i've always gone by the edict of work to live... not the other way round.. i just can't comprehend it
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    What are you talking about?? These are the people that hate their jobs the most!

    It's probably like you said. They're (all) dull and don't have hobbies so maybe that's why they love their jobs.

    Hey now....I'm an accountant. I don't think I'm dull. I have plenty of hobbies and if I had the money there is no way in hell I would be working. Maybe I'm an exception:)

    :confused: what do you mean:
    option A: No money is evil = money is good
    option B: No, money is evil = money is evil

    Money is evil in my opinion cause it's what makes us work, and I hate to work!! work is evil too!! :eek:
    it is almos 9.30 PM here and I can't get off work still, going to be a 12 hours work day today, for a lousy pay check! that hardly gets me throug the month!! :(

    yep..life is unfair....I envy people who like what they do for a living. I for one can't stand it..it's just a paycheck for me.

    Wow..that is a long workday..what do you do?
