boss came in 45 minutes late this morning, carrying a tray of decent coffees, and bacon and sausage rolls all round. What's not to like?

Get to ride an hour to/from work each day on off-road route alongside a river. I work in a cycling related job which also allows me out of the office regularly and buy bits at trade price. The people I work with are great and support each other. The money is ok, the last 2 years taught me this is not too important in the grand scheme.

I get to look at surf from my lab windows. Or hills from the other side of the building. Some terrific kids in the school, and the great majority of my colleagues are good to be with. Good pay, great holidays!
Down side- I feel that two, possibly three of senior management are really untrustworthy and sycophantic, and that the whole of the management team are almost entirely out of touch with the feelings of the majority of the staff. Which is a great shame.

I only have to work 4 days a week, and most of my job is guess work and I love a gamble.

When I'm in the office it's a 6 mile off road commute and when I'm out of the office it might be anywhere, Rome, Orlando and Rhodes for June.

I work with my Dad so get a pretty liberal approach to hours worked and time off
I try to start earlyish, but can also finish early (if all the jobs that I have scheduled for the day are completed I can head for home/the hills)I get to work in: The Lake District, The Dales, The Highlands... mostly the Lakes though, which is why I relocated down this way from Stirling!
I can bunk off a bit during the day and get some photography done
There are bad sides though - I am usually up to my elbows (or well beyond) in human excrement

What do I like? I can look out the window and see the Quantocks.

Guernsey. My commute is along the coast, max speed limit is 25mph. Stunning views across the English Channel when on a good day you can see Sark and Herm...on bad day you can see Jersey!

I like the fact that nearly everyone I work with enjoys their job, and works hard to make me better at mine.

I have a fully equipped workshop, with which to spanner my array of heavily discounted/free bikes, all whilst being paid a bit more than minimum wage.
And when I go home, I can leave it all behind, and none of it crosses my mind again until the next morning, unless I choose otherwise.
Most important of all: the coffee from the cafe opposite is superb.

it pays my salary. It keeps my brain ticking over. I like the guys I work with - most of the time
but it's a good hour each way commute by car (tried it by bike, 2hrs+ - too far), which means sitting in traffic queues (or taking the scenic route), and it does nothing for my fat arse & pot belly

being at home.... I used to say the peace and quiet but now I share my workplace with a very very tiny noisy smelly unintelligable boy and my other half..
hmmmmmmmm.
