I love my new Job !

[Mondo]

I started this job a month ago as a Legal Assistant in a Civil Lit and Personal Injury department in solicitors practice doing mostly defence work for Road Traffic Accidents stuff who's biggest client is a major insurance company and some reason I really really like it !

Every case and file is different and just as interesting, be it from serious accident to the run of the mill whiplash (which I've not come across any strangely). I can't go into too much detail about the cases are they are all on going thus confidential but it is amazing to see this all works and feel useful being a little clog to in this big legal wheel.

I even got to do some instructions to barrister too since the time i've been here and just got his reply back in regards to that on the case from last week and it's going to trial (actually criminal for this one) this month. Even thou the commute is a hour each way I actually look forward to work and the day goes past pretty quickly. I can't wait until I qualify and this is the area I want to get into. :)

Anyone else really enjoy their job?

Clip clippity clop on the stairs!

Cool :)

I found PI cases pretty interesting (I deal with the costs side of things), always something different coming up, did RTAs, employers liability and public liability mostly, but also the occasional industrial disease cases. Could probably run a straightforward case just based on the number I've seen by now :p

Doing costs on more heavyweight stuff now though, bit of a change - used to have about 50 files of PI natures of about £10k-£30k each now have two or three but from £500k - £1million costs :eek:

I like the legal stuff though, is interesting stuff and like I said always seems to be something new or a different angle to use :)

*edit*

Although at times I wish I could do the simple stuff, having spent last night in bed poring over transcripts and judgements which I swear actually made my brain hurt :p

That's great. It's always a help when you actually enjoy what you're doing.

I don't know if I'd say I enjoy the job I do but I don't dislike it. I would say I was content - it has just the right level of responsibility and can be interesting now and then. The crew on board the rig are generally quite friendly and we have a laugh most of the time. Also, the guys in my team are, for the most part, good at their jobs and fairly conscientious so supervision is less of a chore than it could be.

Out of all the jobs I've had, this is the only one where I don't dread going to work - even though when I go away to work, I don't come home again until 30 days later :shocked:

I love my job. Senior people ask me for technical input, and with a company as big as ADP it means a lot to me. I was uber-stressed yesterday, so everyone is being uber-nice to me today.

Sure, I'd like to be flying, but then proper flying jobs are getting rarer and rarer these days.

[Mondo]

I love parts of my job, and others I'm not so fond of. The level of security is a pain sometimes, and things seem to go round in circles at times, but they do everywhere I've found.

My other job - I love, although it's hard to write each night and weekend when you're knackered from your real job. I'd like to do it f/t but when I did I turned into a bit of a hermit and I didn't have the security I have now (which helps me sleep at night). Maybe in the future.

Good to hear you're enjoying it - I remember a thread where you felt out of your depth. Funny how quick that turns into an obstacle you've overcome huh?

Oh yeah, that was conveyancing ! lol PI is much more less forms and more dealing with the other side.

Rich, we do a whole range, from scaring to serious head injuries to even death. There is an on going case now where if it goes well, the case will be worth 5 mill, if it goes badly (for the Defence), it'll be worth 7 million !

My job is awesome. First job I've ever had that I really like.

I'm loving my job. There are some real pains about it though. Client calls, says they love my work, have an exciting project I'd love to work on and then we have to haggle over costs to get something we both agree on. Takes its time, but once its done I can then enjoy the work. Then theres the little things that make it all so worth it. I was out yesterday grabbing random people off the street for portraits and one guy I nabbed had heard of me, and used my work in his GCSE's. That was just awesome. I also love it when I get to show someone their photo on the camera. They instantly go from a little worried to so flattered. Then of course theres joking with rather attractive girls about shooting porn ;)

[Davey_Pitch]

I love and hate my job in equal measure I think. I love the responsibility I have with regards to the servers and I love the fact I'm trusted enough to be left alone to fix important problems without people breathing down my neck. I hate the fact I'm grossly underpaid for what I actually do, and the job has no promotion prospects here whatsoever.

Hopefully leaving soon anyway, the support for schools in Liverpool is heading down a road I don't want to go down.

[Lynnie_pitch nee Leigh]

I love my job, I love the teaching part of my job. I don't like school politics and I hate admin! (the bits they don't tell you about when you train!!) ;)

[Haly]

I reckon I'm going to really enjoy my new job once I'm there for more than a day and not in pain. I got to see around everywhere yesterday and it looks like really interesting stuff with good potential to move about so you don't get stuck doing the same thing all the time. As I pointed out I love techy stuff,they even suggested that if I wanted to, I could get involved more with the IT Department (at the moment it's just one guy there) and learn some more, as well as possible gain some qualifications through them.
I think there's going to be a lot of options which is good :)
And I have to use my thumbprint to get in the office which just seems really cool to me ;D

My sideline job doing the games reviews, I love doing :) It's a lot of work juggling stuff but it's satisfying and something I really am passionate about. I'd loveto turn it into a proper/full time job one day.

[petemc]

Thumbprint scanner ftw. That is very cool :D

[Will]

I'm enjoying being in a different role and the progress I'm making. however I wouldn't say I love my job. I think this is a stepping stone for bigger/better things (hopefully).

either way I'm glad you're all enjoying your jobs. :)

[Dee]

I dont dislike my job, but I dont hate it either. As Stan said, I am just content :)

This is certainly not what I want to be doing for the rest of my life, its just something I fell into after college when I couldnt decide what else to do :p

[Roberta]

I love the business I'm in!

[lostkat]

Anyone else really enjoy their job?
On the contrary, quite the opposite actually! Just to buck the trend, like ;)

[Daz]

I love what I do, I've just been doing it for a while now and fancy a change of role. Deal with new people, new clients and new projects - I've basically been with one client now for 18 months - 2 years and I'm ready for something new.

I think I'll always be reasonably happy so long as I'm working with technology.

[Mark]

Thumbprint scanner ftw. That is very cool :D
I have one of those on my laptop. Didn't ask for it, and wouldn't have specced it, but I opened it up and there it was. Even works too (sort of). :)

Anyway, I'm currently content. I go from loving it to getting incredibly bored and wanting to do something else - and just occasionally when we get some new policy handed down from on high I feel like I want to leave, but its turned out OK so far.

I don't like the politics though. Hasn't been much of that recently but I'm expecting a role change soon so there might be some then. The worst of the politics came when we had a load of redundancies and I was internally head-hunted and essentially told 'take this job or take redundancy'. A few weeks later I was back doing the old job (which I'm still doing to this day). A year or two later a comment slipped out and I found out soon after that the whole thing was a ruse and should never have happened :angry:. I did get an apology.

[Fayshun]

I love my job.

The managers are bloody useless and couldn't organise a piss up in the proverbial, usually means one of us gets shipped off to a station the other side of the force (still at least we get mileage for that) and we're usually short staffed.

The perks of the job suck, free uniform, as much custody food as you can eat, tea and coffe that is a crime against humanity and all the abuse you can take. Walking out the door and getting a "thanks for all your help" off the Sarge and knowing all the prisoners are still breathing means a lot.

In addition we usually get mentioned in dispatches when we take a set of fingerprints or a footprint impression that links someone to a crime scene either in Force or out of Force. Knowing youve done a little bit to get some of these toerags off the streets means a lot too.
