Hmm, I'm a civil servant in central Government

Worst
Working for mindless politicians who ask you to do stupid and/or counterproductive things
Mindless press who don't understand what you're trying to achieve, but write about it anyway
Endless bureaucracy

Best
Having real influence on issues that matter
Being able to participate in the democratic legislative process - especially Parliament (such fun!)
Seeing your ideas in the press and on the telly (great fun! - except when they're being criticised and/or laughed at :D )

I do various bits and pieces...jack of all trades master of none ;)

Worst bits of my job:
The buck stops with me
Can be intensely stressful
I never switch off - even on holiday or at the weekends, I'm always checking up on things and making sure everything is running smoothly.

Best bits of my job:
I get to work with whatever technology or products interest me so every day is different and means my work is usually exciting and interesting
I can work from home a lot of the time and also partially choose my own hours which means I don't need to shop at the weekends ;)
I'm always busy so I don't have to push paper or 'look like I'm busy'.

Although the stress does get to me sometimes, overall, I'm really lucky in that I love what I do :)

I work weekend and holidays in a computer repair centre.

Best bits:
- Everybody there is awesome
- Doing something I fairly enjoy
- Did I mention how awesome everyone is there (i mean, how many jobs can you give your boss abuse, and not get fired)

Worst bits:
- crappy pay
- admin work, which is complicated, and often leads to me messing up
- minimal hours on weekends

Six months a year sick pay?? :confused: Does that mean six months of the year you are not eligible for sick pay? Or you can take six months off sick without them batting an eyelid??

Dust (unless you work with stone you really have no idea)
Outside all through winter
Sorting out others screw ups

Boss/manager leave me alone to get on with it
Outside all through summer
Physical and skilled work with something at the end to show for it
