How good is your job?

I remember at school years ago , we always used to say that the amount of money you earn is unimportant and that it's better to have an interesting job as long as you get a ____________________ wage . Well , that's just it , isn't it ? When I started looking at how much these interesting jobs pay and the number of ____________________ hours you are ____________________ to do , it's just not enough to live on . So , I've changed my ____________________ now . I'm not prepared to work for ____________________ to nothing .

There's only so much I'm prepared to do . I have friends who work all the hours god ____________________ , thinking all those extra hours will earn them ____________________ in the company and get them a ____________________ . I'm not ____________________ that it gets them anywhere , and they don't have much of a life outside of work . I'd rather ____________________ a decent work - life ____________________ .

It takes me two hours to get to and from work in the car . I have to travel during ____________________ hour , of course , and it takes twice as long as it does at any other time of day . Thankfully , I'm working two days a week from home now , so that's ____________________ me a lot of time and fuel ____________________ . These days I just put on some podcasts and relax , and I don't get as frustrated with the slow ____________________ and bad driving these days as I ____________________ to .

For me , the one thing that can ____________________ or break a job is the people you work with . You can have the most boring job , but if you are working with fun , easy - going people , the day ____________________ by . It's the luck of the ____________________ , though . You can't force it . Those team - building days they sometimes put on won't help to bridge a ____________________ between people who just can't work well together . There are people I ____________________ with at work . I just try to ____________________ them as much as I can .

Everyone is ____________________ about job security . I don't think anyone can take it for ____________________ that their job is secure . There has been company restructuring a couple of times at my company , but I've managed to escape being ____________________ off . I'm always on ____________________ , though , and I'm always keeping an ____________________ out for other companies in the area which I could work at if I do get let ____________________ .
