I do. Genuinely fallen well out of love with it.

getting that way - everyone wants things done for nothing and having to put tight prices in which dont allow for unforseen problems. not the job in such just that the job is now mainly worrying if your going to get paid or not
 
dont hate the job but i detest customers. TB your mate rang from the music shop yesterday. waiting on a GC #
 
i hate custards,most tenants,the government,ideals, cantankerous old people,workshy layabouts,and the fact i get stung every 5 years to prove i am competent to deal with all this malarkey



apart from that i am fairly happy
 
love it .although only been gsr'd 2 an half years. hate some custs but not all of them
 
I actually like the work, it's running a business I find hard, but I couldn't work for someone else at a third of the money.

I enjoy the work, but hate repetition.

I love my job. I don't think I could do it "on the cards" again though. I don't really mind arsey customers. I usually make it a challenge and make them nice. By the end of a job I can normally have moody folk eating out the palm of my hand. I quite enjoy it and see it as a game. As for the job, there are some aspects I don't like, but as I'm a contractor I can pick and choose the jobs I like.
 
I don't mind the job although it does get a bit samey what drives me round the twist is the traffic, sat in traffic for hours makes my blood boil😡
 
utterly detest it would walk away from it if i knew what to do i know very few these days whom enjoy plumbing/heating .CCompletely different from when i first started.
 
Well I've been doin this since I left school in 1978! 34yrs 😀 Flippin heck!

I've had my moments when management have gotten on my back and thought "why do I bother?"......... However all in all I believe there's few jobs better (Gas Engineer)... Get to see all walks of like and venture into homes you could only dream of possessing! I love meeting people though! The job allows me that and has served me well Thank God!

To this day I enjoy the challenges, be it where to run pipes for best looks or how do i fix this boiler I've never seen before?

However for me people make what I do interesting in all honesty! Without them this 'job' would be like working on a factory floor churning out the same old, same old!!! 😀
