I have been lucky I guess... The jobs I have had if not "fun" have been pleasant, not places I hated to go to. I made good friends at those places and felt bad when I left 9not because the money) But "fun"?. I don't think any of them were fun, after all if they had been they would not have been "work" loll But I have learned that in life attitude determins what "fun" you have at anything. One can be working a party and have lots of fun telling jokes at the water fountain at one's job Good thought provoking post Taps :-) xoxoxo

First jobs are exciting, first paychecks seem huge...
At sixteen I was a "soda jerk" and made sundaes, banana splits, shakes & floats. Part of my job was having fun with customers. Loved that. When I turned 50 after I got my degree I got the chance to run a magazine for a statewide organization; we hired printers, wrote editorials, did layout & design, assigned writers & photographers, etc. It was a very good year.

The most fun and the most stress and the greatest let downs all came in my favorite job. Designing clothes. The arts part of knowing what is to be here right at that season coming in eight months, sketch a sloper, then design the 80 to 85 items that can mostlay be done from that one sloper and yet be so different. From there it is a wild ride through fabric choices, market surveys and showings and manufacturing and now do we have any money left?

I believe one had to experience fun at a job one way or another. That's messed up about the second son.That's why I hate if I have any to fully depend on a job because you never know what's going to happen.

I mostly enjoyed what I was doing! Right now I'm not doing much, which I also enjoy...
