Do you really enjoy your job?

Do you really enjoy going work each day? Do you like what you do? Do you like your boss? Do you do it just for the money? I've been thinking about this as I recover from my Flu-Like symptoms (my wife reminds me"its not the Flu as you have no fever") which have been persisting for more than a week now. You see, I only work at stuff that I find fun. I have had about 14 different jobs during my lifetime. When it was no longer fun, I moved on. I recently started a new business and it has paid back my entire initial investment and then some, but i'm not sure I want to work this hard anymore. I have a problem with careless staff, lazy staff, the ridiculous excuses for doing dumb things, the attitude. I'm not sure I want or need the stress.

The recession has helped me to live on less. I don't really need that million dollar kitchen renovation or the new C-Class Mercedes that I was all set to get(although they would both be nice) I have grown to enjoy my 20 hour work week, working with the kind of clients I want to work with, shooting weddings at locations I like shooting at, spending time with my children in the afternoon and taking my afternoon naps...

Of course it could just be that i'm not feeling well right now and i'll be back to my usual driven self in a couple of days. we'll see...
