My work is also really nice.
I'm working for some museums and it did get off to a rocky start. One of my colleages at the first museum where I was stationed has a personality I clash with rather strongly. We're not enemies but we don't really go together and working with her was a pain and there wasn't much to do there either (she used to hog all the assignments we got). Which is a shame because I love the museum overal.
Then I and my closest colleages got shifted around (while there are 4 museums there's 1 administration and some of us move between all of them a lot), I ended up at another museum and it was fantastic. There is so much to do, so many that need help with everything and I'm not clashing with anyone. Going to work is like going to a big living room where I hang out with all my friends. Sure we do have some stressed moments here and there together with raised eyebrows and questionmarks when, for example, uni professors come around and ask to see item x from something y and we can't figure out where the hell we're supposed to have something like that…
And the museum where I'm at now has this amazing object that needs to be taken cared of constantly... and that everyone loves. I and my colleages sometimes have to play rock-paper-scissors to decide who gets to take care of it on that day because everyone wants to do it. Mmm...
Last week I had a performance review with my boss who said I had done a fantastic job and would be one of those with the highest raise.
Yeah.
Lovely times.
EDIT; To clarify - we do have our normal assignments that's supposed to keep us occupied all the time. I'm a museum host so my most important assignments are taking care of visitors and handling the security but I'm not the only museum host at any given time. If, for example, an alarm goes off (which does happen from time to time although it's mostly set off by colleagues who enter rooms where it hasn't been turned off yet) there are a bunch of procedures that has to be followed and you can't do it by yourself. Fortunetly the alarms don't go off that often and sometimes it can feel as though there are too many of us trying to do the same thing. Thus, extra assignments. Administrative work, social media (there are twoish of us in charge of social media on each museum) etc. Some of us have designed advertising stuff, we fix things that needs fixing etc etc. Reading old letters to see if person x has ever been in contact with person y from country z because person w is trying to figure out if it's worthwhile booking a ticket to my country to go through them himself since he wants to know what they've been up to (there were a LOT of letters and a lot of them were all too intresting to just breeze through).
We're basically the go-to-guys for those in need. And it's awesome.
