    Probably about 8 or 9 most of the time.
    I work in Disability, organising Programs for our Clients, and Staff rosters etc.
    That on its own is not really fun work - lots of Admin, but a little bit of person interaction now and then.
    The reward of helping vulnerable people is great part of it.
    Plus, the commute is short - about 10 metres. ;):D

    2 if that. Was passionate a few years ago a 7-8, but after we were bought out by another company I have very low enthusiasm for the new company.
    But would say an 8-9 with property investment which I am focused on it becoming my new work!

    Mines a 6. I love the job and love the people and the money is good too.....I have just done it for too long and there is no longer any challenge.

    Luckily the side hustle is going gangsters so hopefully next year I can begin the gentle transition out of my current job into my own business.

    They say the best thing about my job is all the holidays.

    I used to be passionate about it but in the last few years I have lost my Mojo, after my old boss left and the new one took over. I too am transitioning into something else, not full on retirement yet, but a different role in the same general industry.

    A niche within a niche within media production. I didn't think that there would be much of call for it.

    I was wrong!

    NRAS has been largely over for 3 years. Dual Occ , finance , a 10 month old daughter - these are the things that keep me at 11

    That's sums up just how much I know about it all.

    I can identify with the 10 month old daughter. Mine turns 1 on Feb 7. She is larger than life. She actually had her first job interview last week and was chosen to represent some big brands next year. Should make some fun memories with that I reckon. And she can start paying for her own clothes :oops::D

    I'm assuming she's mixed? Then I'm not surprised of her commercial value on indo. Same with abbey in china , I've been told only.

    Yes after like a million and one people told us how cute she is blah blah blah we decided to have some fun and take her to an agency. She made 'the cut' and now has some contracts next year.

    Love what I do would rate a 10 (as I would not change anything), retired from corporate life in 1998 so around 21 years ago. Nothing to do with what I studied.
    Self-employed (commercial office fit-outs), my part in business working from home as that's what I chose is admin/payroll/investments/SMSF, although partly I outsource that too.
    Personally I like to give back so I spend time with people I love, volunteer, engage in hobbies of choice.
    Spend a lot time on personal development and hence continue being a mentor to some, being humble, grateful and always positive and passionate about life!
    I doubt you can call it a job but it's rather what I chose to do in life, I think.
    Plus it's Friday so it's dedicated spouse and mine time! Bye....;)

    I have to walk all the way to the kitchen to get a coffee.
    And downstairs to the garage if I want to talk to anyone other than customers (husband works there!)

    Insurance. I used to work in a big IAG call centre but they created an extra teeny tiny company so I told them they needed me there. Worked in the Sussex St office for about a year, gradually stopped coming in and no one noticed teehee
