days like today make it worthwhile

[faithhealer]

Job looks fine and I'am pleased you had a good day today.
Its an interesting statement you've included in your thread and I was wondering how many tilers feel like you do.
I hope it doesn't make it seem as though I've taken it out of context but it alarmed me to think you'd be doing a job without satisfaction.
When work is scarce and money tight its surely the satisfaction obtained in doing a job you love that keeps you going - or am I an old romantic!

I thought that a bit odd too. Completed two jobs this week I'm chuffed to bits with. Couldn't do it without job satisfaction

Agree 100%.. if no job satisfaction was there, i would go stack shelves or summit..:earmuffs:.. that leads me to a new thread.

I also agree 100%..but it has been one of those months where I've needed a job like that today to restore my faith as it were..taken on more site work the last few weeks and it's been a logistic nightmare..the side of tiling I don't enjoy..mission statements and health & safety overviews etc..my point was just lovely to do a 'bread & butter' basics job..life is so uncomplicated with those..good for the tiling soul!..

Now site work has ZERO satisfaction.. so i agree why you were down a bit..

Nice one Jamie, It's always good to be thanked for a good job

I think I may win the award for 'worlds worst at explaining oneself' what I really meant is 'lovely day..satisfying' and no buerocratic BS!!.
Can we all have a big group hug now?.with our horrible calloused tiling hands?
..come here you soppy lot..:001_icon16:

But if you explain yourself properly at the start then Old g*ts like me will have nothing to pontificate about!
I'am not into this hugging thing (tough building worker and all that).:smilewinkgrin:

Now site work has ZERO satisfaction.. so i agree why you were down a bit..

but that all depends on the site Dave, if it's just house bashing I agree, but some sites that I've worked on have been really top drawer and very rewarding

That's what makes this job so rewarding!
Never in the same place for more than a couple of days/week.
Lovely scenery in the Lakes or Hadrians Wall - its like being on holiday every day. And sometimes we get paid!:smilewinkgrin:

 

[david campbell]

job satisfaction for me is being able to stand back and be chuffed with my work/also when the customer expresses there delight in my work.

the main thing hear jamie is that you made an old couple very happy/proud of there home!

it looks smart by the way
