Who wakes up in the morning & has an actual zest for going to work?
Like when you were younger & would wake up on christmas or your birthday & you can't wait to get dressed & open your prezzies. At the moment I wake up & have no desire to wake up let along go to work. I just don't have anything to look forward to at work to motivate me to leave the comfort of my bed.

So yeah i do
Its even worse cause I'm working 48 hours this week not the usual 15
I would but i'm rather clueless as to what type of job would suit me & i'd enjoy :chin:
Job is ok i guess, but think ill look for something else.
how did you get in to that?
Before I've poured some coffee, I have zest for sleeping and nowt else.
I like my job an awful lot, though. So as soon as I feel human of a morning I can look forward to an interesting day.
I actually quite like my job, but I have just started so I may not do in three months.
But the experience there has got me into a job on a wage that is £4k higher, with better hours which is closer to home with better career prospects. I think this could be my dream job!
I don't think anyone enjoys their job *that* much. However, I do enjoy what I do (most of the time) and I think it is important to do so.
If you are hating it that much then you really need to think about whether or not you should really be doing what you are.
However, if it is just that "groan, it's 6.30am and my bed is oh so comfy I don't want to get out" feeling then you just need to grin and bear it.

What do you do then? Also, no-one else has said what they do here?
I'm a software developer for consumer electronics products, you know, the one's you see in your high street electrical or electronics gadgets store (or online if you shop on the internet )
Myself, my job is a mix of good and bad:
The good:
- people
- the money
- some satisfaction in my work gaining skills from it (well, some of it)
The bad:
- the *same* people everyday
- same type of people as myself
- insularness of a big industrial park site
- too much time needed to do mundane stuff leaving not enough time to spend time reducing the mundane stuff by developing new ways of working, developing new skills
- lack of opportunities to branch out into new areas, network with new people
- awkwardness of the way the project is run - multiple sites, multiple parties involved, the complexity
- well-meaning and positive but sadly unsatisfactory IT support and systems leading to frustration
I compensate for quite a bit of this doing voluntary work, developing new soft/human/communication skills in this and meeting a lot of different people.
Perhaps you should try thesite.org's sister site: www.do-it.org.uk - and look at how you could be fulfilled in your spare time through voluntary work. Who knows it could lead to a new job? Good on the CV.
Volunteering has made some of my dreams come true. I've met some lovely people. I'm also single and have met some rather nice partner material, nothing's come of it - even though I've asked. But if you don't ask...
Trouble is now, I'd like to do the things I volunteer in for money. I'd like the voluntary work I do to be part of a real paid job. It's a bit of a challenge at the moment balancing this with paid job and lifes necessary chores...
That's a good point.
My jobs ok could be worse. Don't particularly look foward to it but it offers me a good career and a decent salary so I guess that's the main thing
