Love:First place I've worked where I like everyone I'm working with, though there are a couple that are trying my patience. Seems like there is always someone that has missed the idea that they are there to WORK. And although my job isn't as technical as it used to be, face it, I'm splicing boxes of paper together and feeding them to a printer most of the time, there is a couple hours every day of file management/mergers to keep my brain semi awake. I love the fact that the end product of my work raises money to help folks in need and thanking the people that have donated. While 'Not for Profit' is a big part of our work, we also have 'For Profit' work that takes up the slack when we're not around a holiday. It's pretty slow right now, but Back 2 School is coming along and Christmas is coming hard.

Hate? Well, during the Christmas rush which starts late September my hours go up to the 16 a day thing plus weekends, that gets a little tidious. I have more help hired this year so hopefully it won't be so bad this year. The pay, well it's not as good as when I was a Mainframe tech, but I am not wearing a car out in 3 years either, don't spend 3/4 of the day in my vehicle and don't have a bunch of people that the only time I see them they are frustrated, worried, tired and looking for someone to flip a switch and get their system back up and running. Hey, when you do flip the switch they think your a genius. When it's not that simple you're just an irritating cure, like getting over poison ivy. Either case you have to be real careful how you handle the customer. So I don't miss that part a bit. The other part where all this happens at 2 in the morning I don't miss that either. But then I have to get up at 2 during the Christmas Rush anyways.
