    I couldn't stand it if I had to work in the same office day after day. I love the interfacing with customers. I enjoy the challenge when you get a difficult fault and the satisfaction you feel when you resolve it. And I love working in a predominantly male environment, I probably shouldn't say this, but most women have very boring topics of conversation, I don't want to talk about babies, shopping, soap operas or reality TV thank you.

    My office has 4 wheel drive and its a convertible. I have the best work environment possible.
    as Debs says, can't work in an office day after day.

    but most women have very boring topics of conversation,
    "Most"? All I know, my wife included. Thank God my daughter is an exception. With her I can discuss at least politics.

    No question, it's the varying environment, the different sites and types of persons that clients are.

    Most of the people where I work all agree that we are all dysfunctional and the company we work for puts up with us.

    Re: What kept you here? job i mean.

    I've done office work. I was in supply for many years and sat behind a desk for most of the day. I like this job becuase I do get ot get out 99.5% of the days and customers are genuinly happy to see me. When I tell them I have to order the part they need, while not happy about being down, they know I've got the answer to their problem. While in supply if I didn't have their part, I'd get "You should always have what I need, jackass" attitude and look. Plus, when I first started here, the guy who trained me told me that no matter how badly the economy tanks, people will always need their copiers working.

    I love the freedom, I love driving and after nearly 10 years doing this I am finally realizing that the world will not end if a photocopier is down.
    My boss leaves me alone as long as the calls are getting done and there are not too many callbacks.
