I work as a sourcing&purchasing assistant in one foreign trade company,whose boss comes from France,my daily work is in charge of sourcing all sorts of products from the factory in China for our customers,our target market is in Europe. I spend 8 hours on work every day,I like my workmate and enjoy working with them,but I hate the crowded traffic in my city,every morning I need to try to get on the crowded,I am often squeezed that I nearly cannot breathe,it is so terrible,and makes me very tired then.

I am a project manager in a healthcare software firm and have been at software for close to 13 years. I enjoy my job as I like being around people and dealing with them. In that sense my work gives me a lot of satisfaction. The domain of Healthcare just adds to the fun and joy of the job as well. Cheers! Ram

Yes, I do enjoy doing it and making good teams. But believe me sometimes it is very difficult. Sometimes adults just behave as kids and then you start thinking what were thinking when you took this job... :) But I must confess I have had lesser such days than the ones which I enjoyed. :) Cheers!

It is a pity to hear that,but I really it does not have a bad impact on your daily life.It is not your fault as you said,so don't be upset by others'words.They don't understand your situation so that they can not put themselves in your position.Wish you happiness and great success in the new year.Have a nice day and merry xmas.

hi sunshinesophie, I am a high school teacher. Sometimes I feel like I want to quit in my job because teaching requires so much patience. Most of the kids I am teaching are stubborn and lazy. There are also some of them who are always involve in fights and some do not know how to respect their classmates and even their teachers. Sometimes I feel like giving up but I just put it in prayers. I know that God won't put me in a situation that I cannot handle. I just pray hard. Whenever I am reflecting, I feel thankful that I have job. Life is hard nowadays. Money is not easy to earn. I see myself as lucky because I have a stable job and I can help my family with my earnings.

I can understand you because many friends of mine are teachers,and they have complaint about that the children who stay in the period of teenager treason make too much trouble,they will skip the classes and some even say the bad words to my friends,it is really a headache. But I know,we need to survive and maintain our family,so when you are frustrated,just think of the person you care and love,and take it easy,some naughty students who are really out of control,don't bother with them. Hope all the best,good luck.

Graphic artist here but I am not enjoying because the salary is not enough and yet there is no growth on my part for the art field. More so I don't like the location as it is far. We just transferred here by the time that I applied here.

I was previously a Customer Relation Office in a UK Account. I am handling complaints via email and letters. Now, with the same company but I was transferred to a different account. I now handle an Australian campaign for electronic gadget and appliances. I handle first line IT Technical Support via chat and emails. It is very tiring but I guess I am enjoying it. I work as early as 5:30 am, 9 hour shift including one unpaid lunch. I like my schedule as there is no traffic and I can go back home early and do a lot of stuffs.

Hi sunshinesophie. Well, the problem is not within your job but to your transportation from/to your workplace. It's just a matter of adjustment the new lifestyle and environment where you are belong right now. Give time to develop some adjustments and afterwards you can noticed that there's no hard things which not surpass through constant patient and flexibility. Good luck to your job and i just had hoped that someday, somehow, you can finally adjust your life over the crowded workplace...

Thank you for your words,which encouraged me a lot.To be honest,I have just quitted my last job a month ago and found this new job two weeks ago,about my last job,I spent 10 min from home to the office,and now I need to spend more than half an hour on it,but what you said is right,it is the matter of time,I will be adapted to this style sooner and later,and if I really like this job,I will never mind the bad transportation.
