I don’t think work needs to be fun. Fullfilling, maybe, but definitely not fun.

Ed: warehouse work, 3 days a week, unfulfilling, unfun

Diana: English teacher, fulfilling? More fun than most, but it’s still just school everyday

Mary: Computer Programmer, unfulfilling, unfun

Margie: Office job, unfulfilling/unfun

Kathy: Runs Business, pretty fulfilling, VERY unfun

Linda: Health food store owner (?) fulfilling, maybe somewhat fun, but tedious I’m sure

Patty: Hates job, period

Joe: Don’t know what he does, come to think of it

Tom: …don’t know what he does either!

Therese: Accountant, can tolerate her job, but takes no particular interest in what she does.

Particular interest…Hmm.

Dan: U of M librarian. Satisfied with job because of his curious, inquiring personality

Sue: Hospital Secretary, has done it her whole life, I can’t imagine it’s anything more than a routine

Steve: Takes care of Grandpa, former photographer, student, hates taking care of grandpa, is merely in this game because of hopes of moving south in the coming future.

Bud: Computer Programmer, doesn’t like work, is upset over the fact that his life has only turned out to be this, unfulfilling, unfun

Mary D: editor, maybe likes job but does not like the people she works with. Unfun.

Ryan: Scholar, just wants to be done with graduate school

Christine Whyatt: Violin teacher, likes job, wishes she got paid more, fulfilling, no more or less fun than any other job

Now let’s examine people I know who seem to love their job:

Professor Nicholson: Univ. Roman Empire professor, fulfilling & fun, loves job, generally happy person

That “Adrenaline Rush” Skydiver Person: needless to say, loves job

Dr. Bissell: SYA China…coordinator? President? has his good and bad days, but feels extremely lucky to have landed the job he has. Fullfilling, sometimes fun

Becky: Subway manager, loves everything about what she’s doing. I don’t know if it’s fun or fulfilling, but she at least loves it.

Dr. Burns: Jr. High Science teacher, I’d say he secretly loves his job

Alan: Accountant, at least is trying to love his job, is hopeful

Leslie Aaserude: Newborn baby nurse, loves job

New Category:

President Bush: I wonder

Brad Pitt: I wonder

Mother Teresa: loved job

Viktor Kee: Has no reason not to love his job, but really who knows

Buskers of Quebec City: Seem to love job, probably hate the pay though

And so, my point, my point. What is my point? What do you think of that data?

I wonder about the old men in the park who excersize their birds. Is that enough for them? It must be. They all seem very content.
