My Job Is Better Than Your Job Because....

I get to roll on the floor while women take hysterics at me because they can't take their kids on holiday owing to them being really really stupid people.
And I get to work all night and sleep most of the day.
Apart from that it's like buttbucked with a cactus using chilli oil for lube.
I work for the Council.
Flexi-time - nuff said! Good money. Sponsorship for Further Education. Great holidays too, 31 days plus bank hols.
Be nice to meet Geoff Hurst though. :)
I work right next to Highbury, and only 5 mins from the Emirates!
Can work from home whenever I want!
but I don't get to meet anyone :([magenta]Missy Jem[/magenta] wrote: Great holidays too, 31 days plus bank hols.

31 days?! 
Holy shit. That's just about impossible here these days (unless you're a teacher). I want to trade jobs with you.

It's not exactly the norm here either, I get 25 days which includes the 8 bank holidays. But then this thread is about why we're glad to do the jobs we do, so I'm not going to moan about that here.

Yeah, that's why I want to trade jobs with her! It sounds like you get about the same total number of days off as I do, then. I've heard in France the get a LOT of days off. Lucky them. Anyway, I'm still trying to think of why my job is better than yours...nope, still haven't thought of a reason...:(
Persuaded United to build the North Stand and subsequently got a season ticket.
so my story goes anyway
Job 1: Project Management is FUN! Good People, Good Holidays, Good Benefits (Health Care until a candidate wins can provide me with healthcare and I can quit this job). Project Management has its place in politics, so I'm learning a lot that can be used on campaigning and things. My manager is currently understanding about other responsibilities.
Job 2: I get to boss people around :P, I am good at what I do so I'm pretty well respected and I get more responsibilities, It's exhilirating, even though it takes every waking hour that I'm not at Job 1--so about 80 hours--it's all over after election day (but then it starts again in December), potential for $$$$, can be creative.
I don't work....:p
Actually being on the sick sucks, but the best bit of it is no work, no workmates, no boss etc
I sulked, complained and annoyed people for 6 months, and was rewarded with promotion and a pay rise.
1 week later i handed my notice in!

Rock on
Aha!
i have flex-time (an extra day off every other thursday)
we have a gymnasium in the building
we have a pretty good cafeteria in which you can use your ID card to charge lunch and they automatically deduct it from your paycheck
also when i tell people "oh me? yeah i work for the federal reserve" they get all intrigued
we also get free monthly metro card passes for the subway and the pay is okay too

While I been off, the other two geezers I work with have become Who fans. so now when the girls are off, it's "steve, let's watch Dr Who on my laptop, I downloaded some Jon Pertwee ones".
Hell I tell you, hell.
all you europeans(exc. probably cambo)have better jobs than me, because i bet you have more vacation time. It's all work here and no play. I will die young.

same here for 3 years... I doubt about the fact that I will find a boss someday who tells me : "Jiphy, come when you can and that will be ok... and don't get injured on the way, I'll send you a cab..."
on the other side, it does not mean a lot of incomes, but I am too sick and tired to have opportunities to spend it...
Off by 10 a.m on Wednesday, usually by 1 p.m. on Friday, and lots of free food and drinks all over the valley.

LOL My Job's OK, the folks I work with are great. I just work FOR satan incarnate :D
They make Microsoft look cool and ethical
can't think of too much except that currently I don't have to do much, well i can't as for the past two weeks we were having major computer problems.
My sympathies to those on the sick Having just got back to work after two years on the sick ( and not a lot better really, I just got told, "nope, back to work".), I know how sitting around all day SEEMS like a great idea, until you do it for a while.
Long holidays, relatively short working days if you do the bare minimum, ability to access NOOL at work , job security... 
Working with kids... 
SHEDi xxx

Sadly yes; professional codes and all that malarky. I can tell you that none of them were even vaguely NO related!

25 days ghostie, 25 days.
I get 30 days holiday plus all the bank holidays etc, and two extra privilege days, and I get paid good money for doing next to nothing half the time.
It does have its shit points though, just had to do two days talking to faaaarmers at the Naaaarfuck Show in Norridge.
I work outside during the summer, in the office in the winter.
I wear rubber pants and use electricity to catch fish.
Sometimes I get sent to a construction site to "babysit" the contractor and make sure they don't screw up the stream.
Jumping Jesus Christ, you guys have just all mad me hate my fucking job...not that I needed much of a push to get there.....
let me tell you how great my place is...when my nice died a couple of weeks ago, I called to let the boss man know that I wouldn't be in Monday or Tuesday, as I was going to be in Dallas for the funeral....not only did the fucker not bother to offer any condolences, but the only thing he asked was if my report was finished...what a knobend...
My job is better than your job because I'm taking summer classes in swimming and rock music. :p
...............................I write my own pay cheque.
Nobody tells me what to do...........
I listen to what radio station I like.........
Erm........probably about it.
The negative list is longer though!
