I'm thankful, but I don't love it.

Tolerate it and thankful for it.

"One day I won't be able to lift any more. Not I won't want to lift. I mean physically unable. That day could be decades from now or it could be tomorrow. All I know is that's the day I'll wish I could lift more than ever. The day I'd give anything for one more workout, one more set, or one more cardio session. So go hard and enjoy every workout, every set, every rep. Because one day you will wake up and you will never get it back."

Thankful for it, Tolerate it and will ride it as long as it lasts as I realize that the grass is always greener and I have a sweet set up.

I really enjoy it and will ride it out as long as possible. They allowed me to move closer to family and work 100% remote. So I'm in a pretty good situation and make well above the cost of living in my area. Can't complain and I get to travel on occasion on the companies dime.

I watch TV all day and bring home almost $1000 per week doing so. I am very thankful for that. I have three half days this week due to Covid overcrowding, but still get paid for a full day.

Like it and am thankful for it. Lots of people have lost their jobs, so I'm grateful.

Been working from home since March so I can multi-task.

Thus let me live, unseen, unknown;
Thus unlamented let me die;
Steal from the world, and not a stone
Tell where I lie.

Love it and very thankful for it.
I found something I can do that I actually enjoy doing and am good at without a lot of stress (except right now because the holidays are always absolutely wild).

I LIKE my job, I TOLERATE my colleagues and DISLIKE the company itself.

I try to be grateful, but unfortunately it's a rather toxic work environment.

...Physically typing this and reading it back to myself has been a good thing. I have an offer elsewhere and I think I'm going to capitalize on it.

Imagine you're trying to jam your pork sword into some braindead sorostitute's meat wallet that night. You think you can just walk away from that?

Every day I'm thankful for it. Working from home job that is especially harder to come by given COVID.

Some days I can say I hate it, but these are rarer moments that make me feel like I'm being tried, or with more focus on aspects of the job I dislike the most.

Some days I'm passionate and having a good time with it.

Most days I'm just comfortably doing the job, knocking things out, or otherwise lagging behind a bit and am distracted with stuff.

EDIT:

Random thought came into my mind. People probably ask "why do a job if you hate things about it?" Was thinking some people idolize being a Police Officer as their dream job, there's always a lot of chitty people to deal with and paperwork.

EE here, work at a consulting firm, make $100k+ working 40 hours/week in a field I'm passionate about (economic consulting for energy companies, data analysis and software automation to execute the work, applicable to pretty much every industry) but I hate corporate life. I'm anti-work, but I like solving problems and working on projects. Consulting is great because you pretty much run your own business, you're responsible for winning contracts and performing work, doesn't necessarily matter what you sell or how it gets done as long as someone is willing to pay for it.

End goal is a low-stress job that lets me work from home. I'm working from home right now and loving it, but dreading going back into the office full-time. Hopefully AWS can acquire all of the software vendors in my industry and just create a business model that allows me to work from home and create robots for the cloud for six figures (srs)

Thankful for it more than anything else, as many struggle to have one.
Tolerate it in small doses, in order to just survive the day.
Some days just can't stand it/hate it as it's tedious and stressful. Far from my passion and does not utilize my strengths.
The tradeoff is it's better security than what I've had in the past. And at this age, too old to go back to little to no security anymore.
On the upside, nothing beats working from home, plus the occasional travel on employer's dime.
Wish I had 3-4 day weekends though, 2 days is too short.
