I don't have a job. Unless you count being the in-house IT guy for my family.

So I think that'd be fixing the stuff so long as it's not someone moving the documents folder containing some file a app needs into the videos folder.
 
Hmmm that is a tough one. The pay and being able to provide the needs and wants for your family is always going to be number one, and I am thankful everyday for that. Lots of paid time off, which is way more than I can ever use, making my own hours without being questioned, Co-workers that are like family in many ways. There are so many things. But, I think being needed, trusted, and respected for what you bring to the game is probably up there at the top. Naturally, there are parts I am not crazy about. I can't seem to take a real vacation anymore even with all the off time. It can get a bit stressful sometimes when things you are responsible for can bring the whole business to a screeching halt. Being on call 24/7 can get a bit aggravating sometimes. But, I never dread going to work, and usually even look forward to it. And, that means a whole hell of a lot.
 
Well besides the obvious(...money....) I enjoy spending time with the dogs and getting to know their personality, their likes, their dislikes etc. I enjoy what I do a lot

My least favorite part is dealing with some owners that aren't very nice or very good owners, but thankfully I have a few clients who are very nice and they are the ones I work with most.
 
I don't know about favorite, but I have made medical decisions for myself that are not popular amongst the general population, if not outright against doctor advice, because my job gave me access to information they don't have. It's simultaneously a fortunate and an unsettling situation to be in.

I was in medical research, that's all. For a lot of studies it can take years for the information gleaned from them to hit the public, if at all, and even then how it's interpreted and used by the medical field, politicians, businesses, laypeople, etc. can make it seem like there was a game of telephone going on between the researchers and the rest of the world. For me personally, the one thing I feel comfortable sharing online, and that isn't far out there or likely to get politically charged, is a near rabid avoidance of any sort of opioid pain meds, down to getting my husband to agree to kidnap me from the hospital and lock me in the basement if I'm ever out of my mind with pain enough to want them or to have a doctor insisting I get them. He can let me out of the basement once I'm healed.
