Thread: Any work is good work

Just had a pizza delivered,round table all meat marvel.my fave, the delivery person was interesting,she was 81 yrs old, very vibrant lady.
I asked her, do you like your job?,she said any work is good work,credo I have always lived by.

I can't say I agree with that statement at all. There are many many crappy jobs out there. If you can't derive some satisfaction or enjoyment from your job you're simply biding your time before you die. You only live once, so why waste your life?

Then again, I live in a country where jobs are very plentiful and realize it's not the same everywhere around the globe.

I have been out of work for two yrs, at my age I cannot find work,I make my brushes. I also recycle aluminum cans and scrap metal to suppliment my income,I enjoyed what I did for 43 yrs,Than I got offshored,any work to me is good work.NO JOB IS CRAPPY.I wish I had a job,any job.

Sorry to hear that Bill. But I still stand by my statement. Desperate times call for desperate measures which is just harsh reality, but necessity shouldn't be confused with gratitude.

Listen to the boys from Winnipeg tell it like it is!

Excellent! The Guess Who and BTO are two of my favourites (quite naturally, I'm sure lol). Thanks JB.

Your statement is wrong,my garbage man makes $9.00 an hr ,he is very gratefull to at least make that,it helps feed his family.

Spend enough time out of work in an economically depressed area, and minimum wage will give you something to be grateful for.
Been there...

I would work at any job for any wage. even a dollor an hr,just to have a job,just to feel usefull.

Keep turning brushes the way you do and who knows, you could become the next Thater or Simpson. Maybe in the future there'll be a group buy for Pixel brushes.
