What do you like about your job?

Lets be honest here for a second, no one likes going to work. We have things we dread doing, can't wait to go home, can't wait for the end of the week, ect. That being said, what are some of the things you actually like about your job?

For me, I love working in aerospace. I am a huge aviation geek so working on parts for fighter jets (my favorite type of plane) is a big motivator for me. I have turned down four local job offers making more money because they were not aerospace. My boss sees what I have learned, how fast I have learned it, and me continuing to push myself so he has unofficially made me the head CMM programmer (all of us program and run parts). He also gives me the special projects, hot jobs, extremely complex parts, and large parts (usually needing an equate alignment). Aside from that, he lets me pick the parts I want to work on. The only CMM here (we have 5) that has scanning capabilities is mine. I am the only person here who has learned how to utilize it so that machine and computer are mine. I am the one who everyone in the company goes to for CMM inspection questions and I also handle in house CMM training, maintenance and upgrades. I am also the only one allowed to do the DMIS technical previews and have done every one of them since I started working here. Honestly, this company has done a lot for me at my request: the scanning head, new computers (at $5k each), changing how we program and more. Also they let me get on here during the day and let me listen to my headphones so that's a bonus.

The biggest thing though is my chair! SecretLabs Game Of Thrones chair with the dragons on it! Sunglasses

So what do you all like/love about your jobs?
