Work Hard, Play Hard!

It’s true; people ask you what job you do to see how they are going to treat you.

What type of work do you or did you do?
Did you always enjoy your work?
Was your work boring, interesting, exciting, dangerous, difficult, or satisfying?
Did you work long hours or short hours?
Were your bosses easy or difficult to work for?

The Beatles - A Hard Day’s Night

I’ve mainly worked in teaching adults, as an artist, and for charities.
I worked my way through uni in menial jobs, and teaching.
I have had toxic bosses, the best and kindest bosses, good conditions and bad working conditions, also some very difficult colleagues, and people to deal with.
I chose work that I would enjoy, as I never wanted to be bored spending the majority of my life working. Always needed people skills and chose to work hard.
The biggest reward was creating a good atmosphere and achieving success.

An artists work…not as easy as it sounds!

Do you have any anecdotes of your work, that are interesting or amusing?

Have you ever had any accidents when working?

Alan Jackson lived his songs about work, as did many performing songwriters or singers.

Were you rewarded well for your work?

And what skills did you need or have to work at?

So the discussion and music, memes, gifs, videos, and gifs are on a work theme.
Respect all commenters, and most of all, enjoy and chat with friends.
