Are You Proud of What You Do For Bread?

[AVG-JOE]

Even if the unemployment rate is realistically as high 15%, that still means 85% of us are doing something with our lives.....

Are you proud of what you do for shelter and bread?

I know... there are different kinds of pride. The pride I take right now in life is that of accomplishing a hard days work. The task I spend 40 hours of my life per week sweatin' over so that I have the time and resources to feed my habits is that of a modern clerk. Not much glamor... I help people with paperwork. I work for a huge organization, I'm busy as hell, and most of the time I feel like I really do help folks, so yeah, I'm proud of what I produce in America. You?

 

[Midnight Marauder]

I do....

Nothing.

Living on saved bread.

And the unemployment rate is 5.7% here.....

Go to the grocery store? Why would I be proud of that?

 

[uscitizen]

Darn, I am out of bread. Housekeeper is sick....

What will I spread my strawberry jam on?

 

[Mr. H.]

Most definitely. 3rd generation in the same industry.

 

[random3434]

Yes I am. Love what I do, and I know I am making a difference in my students lives.

 

[uscitizen]

When I worked I never had a job I was ashamed of or that I felt negatively impacted my country or society.

I go to the store for bread.

I'm indifferent to that action, taking neither pride nor derission in it.

you grocery store people stole my thoughts! to actually answer the question, yes, I am. it took about 3 years of no social life and 12 hours a day of studying to get where I am and the rewards its brought to me, our clients, and the other people in our small company are pretty awesome.

 

[eagleseven]

Generally speaking, I'm proud of the loaves I bake...

...I do make homemade bread, once or twice a month.

Are you proud of what you do for shelter and bread?

Just a guess here Joe, but I don't think you're going to get many replies from people saying they're not.

 

[Luissa]

I am not really doing what I want to do, but I feel good about what I do.

 

[LuckyDan]

My plan was to be a rock star and to marry a series of super models. I fell somewhat short, due to a problem with modes (and the circle of fifths) plus no supermodels worked where I did. But yeah. I'm cool with where I landed.

Hey, if you have a paying job, you have a right to complain. Otherwise, be handicapped, or STFU.

 

[eagleseven]

no supermodels worked where I did. But yeah. I'm cool with where I landed.

How's Mars?

 

[JW Frogen]

Proud? When I was in the military the answer was almost always yes.

Now I don’t know. There is no doubt in my mind I have saved people and property from damage, that I am good at this in an area where it is not easy to be good at this.

And I can drink and have sex at work too.

Proud? My Yin is pulling my Yang Chung..

So you're a fireman at a live sex club? Or what?

 

[JW Frogen]

No Dan, but I will say if you are not one you should be; you are one hell of a career counsellor.

So why does the whine heard above the industrial din of people taking pride in their work seem so negative here in America?

 

[editec]

More than proud, I'm honored that fate has given me a chance of doing what I do.

I only wish fate paid better.

 

[PixieStix]

Yes,I like what I do and I am proud of the fact that I give 110% to my job, or I would not do it. It sure is better than being unemployed
