Saylorsburg, PA USA You mean job? My workplace is the best place ever. I work in a lab, and it's very laid back, very little pressure to get the work done at a certain time, just by a certain time. We have picnics, wine and cheese, we can dress how we want and listen to music. I guess it's not all that professional, but I wouldn't want to be anywhere else. Cancer, 20

Easton, KS USA Today, June 17, as a matter of fact. I attended the House The Senate Built project. The four HFH affiliates in RI, in cooperation with Senators Jack Reed and Lincoln Chafee raised the walls on a Habitat for Humanity house in the Olneyville section of Providence, RI. Laura, 37
Lowell, MA USA My promotion a year ago. It was a fairly hefty sum (by my standards) and really made me feel appreciated where I worked. Doug2, 29
Overland Park, KS USA I recently attended the national conference of an organization where I am one of the members of the Board of Directors. I received quite a lot of positive feedback from colleagues around the nation on several presentations I did. I also had a colleague whom I've only conversed with on the phone say some flattering things about how young I was given the presence that I project on the phone during meetings. Felicia, 36
Lowell, MA USA I work for Prudential Insurance. The company recently went public, so we just had our first annual meeting. I work in the audio/video area and our department is responsible for presentations. So we had to prepare the meeting area, set-up the stage, presentations, signs, etc. I had the pleasure to work with this wonderful person, Chet. He was the laison between the senior management, the venue and the rest of us. He never got ruffled, upset, angry even when things got hectic. He was always professional and cheerful to work with. Our whole department worked well together. It was tiring but a good experience.

Hah. This is a good one... I was at Quick Care the about a week ago with a really bad migraine. The doctor that saw me was the first one not to shoot me up with Demerol and send me on my way. She gave me Toradol, a muscle relaxer, and Phenergan, an anti-nausea medication. She also gave me some info on other things I could do to combat my migraines. I was very grateful for her, and wrote a letter to the County Hospital that runs the Quick Care letting them know how great she was.
If more doctors were like her, I don't think Nevada would be having this huge healthcare crisis right now.

Most of my professional experiences are pretty good. I had an interesting one on Friday, when my agency "borrowed" me from my current contract and sent me into a new client to assess their existing database applications. I went in expecting to find a mishmash of power user projects and instead found a well-designed and implemented, very professional application. I even learned a few things from the design.

Hmmm. That's a hard one. The last good experience I had at work was five years ago when everyone in our section but me retired and while they were hiring some new people, I was kind of "in charge" and did a little of everything. I felt that my co-workers respected me for the first time. I looked forward to coming to work because my day was so busy and varied. Didn't last long though. In a couple months they hired a bunch of people and all responsibility was taken from me and I was stuck with the dull, boring work.

Well...my Mother and I went to a restaurant last week...one that we had never been to before. She was very excited to go there because a lot of people had been telling her how wonderful it was. It was quite a distance from our homes, so it was kind of an "excursion" for us. Anyhow, the owner evidently overheard us discussing the length we had gone to to patronize her establishment and she came over to personally thank us for choosing her restaurant. I thought that was pretty nice.

If "professional" means standard issue corporate ethics and speech patterns I'm not sure the question makes sense. The last good job related experience I had though was a quick aproval from my bosses to take a couple of the kids up with me in a Cessna for a scenic flight. I thought it wouldn't get okayed for weeks but it only took two days.
