I enjoy doing the Monday Madness, but I enjoy doing it doubly today because it is a holiday!!!

It is Labor Day here in the USA, so I thought we'd talk about work! Thank you, Mom, for posting these for me!! And yes, stay-at-home-moms and students are included!!! (If you are a student, please substitute 'job' for 'school' or 'class(es)')

1. Please tell us a little bit about your job (or your classes). I work for an HVAC company. I'm an amanuensis.
2. Do you enjoy your job? Most of the time.
3. What would make your job more satisfying for you? If a certain "toxic co-worker" found work elsewhere.
4. Name one thing you don't like about your job. See #3
5. Do you feel you are compensated adequately for what you do? Sure
6. Any thoughts on social security and health benefits? SS probably won't be there in another ten years. Health benefits? They're being limited all the time.
7. What are your thoughts on the current minimum wage? Does anyone make minimum wage anymore? Even McDonalds around here start at 7.00. I'm really curious.
8. What kind of advice do you (or would you) give your children regarding their future and their career choices? The heck with the career choices, find a good mate.
9. What is your 'dream job?' hmmmm. I'll get back to you on that. This time of the evening I'm not sure there is such a thing as a "dream" job.
10. At what age will you be (or were you) able to retire? I suspect I'll be going out with my boots on.
