My husband does that all the time when he leaves Costco for two days. He hopes it will burn down in the middle of the night.

Know the feeling.

I wish them for Nate. Just a snow day or something.

Am I the only person that really likes their job?

That’s because you don’t have a real job, it’s practically a hippee job.
I hate work too.

I guess it’s not the atual job, it’s the fact that I cannot do whatever I want at any time, any day.

I like my job but I wouldn’t mind a spring break and a summer vacation every year.

Or maybe a one year on one year off program.

I think if we went to 4 day weeks I would love my job much more!

That’s exactly what I want. But then after that, I want 3 day weeks. And so on. Ah, heck. Let’s just retire.

i can’t imagine having a job that i liked more than being free to do whatever. “would rather not be working” isn’t the same as not liking your job. of course, right now i’m not liking my job too much either…

Well, of course I’d rather be able to just do whatever, but since it’s a requirement for most people to have some sort of job, I think it’s pretty important to like the one that you have.
If you don’t (and can’t adjust to learning to like it or changing it enough so that’s possible), then I’d say it’s time to think about changing jobs. Of course, that’s not always possible either, but it’s worth exploring if a job is really bugging you that bad.
I guess my main point was that even if I was “free to do whatever”, I’d probably spend a decent portion of that time doing what I do now (with some differences, of course).

it seems to me that there are three levels of employment. job: doing something someone else doesn’t want to do. profession: doing something someone else can’t do. and the third level would be doing what you want to do and getting paid for it.

If Americans got 6 weeks of paid vacation a year (this is the developed WORLD average) maybe we’d change our frowns upside down. Even French wait staff and sardine canners get an average of 6-8 weeks. Average for the US, are you ready for this 2 weeks! No wonder why we hate work, we spend to much time there.
