How did you end up in your job? Are you happy, if not what else would you rather be doing?

(Oct 14 05, 07:39)funny you should ask.
i was freelancing and everything was going well, but i had no insurance and no 401k. thinking of my future (ie, with my future wife, future kids) so i looked around for a corporate job with great benefits.
am i happy? there are days. the problem lies with the other designer here who for the past 2 years has failed to give a damn. he's pretty much just put in the bare minimum effort to get by each day and said yes to every cockamaeme scheme the company has come up with. his reasoning is 'i'm just working for a paycheck, so i'm just here to be a yes man' sorry, i can't do that. luckily/unluckily he just put in his two weeks. i'm fucked but in a way i could use this to help get this place back on its feet.
i give it 6 months. if they don't listen i quit.
what would i rather be doing? open a personal training studio with my fiance' and train people all day. i'd be the companies creative full time and trainer part time. we'd employ only persons with a degree and background in health and nutrition. we would train people for shows, train athletes for competition or just normal people for everyday life.
that being said. in the next week or so when i get the specs for the job here, i may post them if anyone is interested in working with 'the kona'.
cheers.
