Some of them really beautiful...

We still have mobile libraries like this. It's a great service I wish more people would use.

With all the TV and internet around it's much harder to make youngsters to sit down and read - we were reading at book/day speed at least...

Were still having the bookbuses here, they're great for retirement homes and schools, but as architectural creations they're a bit meh.

Are you guys generally pretty happy at work (all around satisfied)? ...I think I find myself on the other end of the spectrum more often than not, so I'm wondering if it's time to move on. Although, being satisfied in the work place is no easy task, so I'm wondering if I'm just taking on the "grass is greener on the other side" way of thinking.
I've been at this particular company for about 3 years but working on the same projects for about 8 (company has gone through a handful of owners). I love what I do, but the company... not so sure. Seems like quite a handful of disgruntled employees too, it's not just me, so I'm wondering if it's just the work environment.

I tend not to stay at a job long after they crush my gruntle.
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

I was. And then I left for a job I love. 
Life is too short brutha!

That's too long to stay at one company.

I'm pretty happy. As I said in the thread earlier today, you can't expect everything to be peaches and cream, but you can expect the people you work with to be pleasant and fun, the company not to impose annoying bureaucracy or unreasonable management pressures, to treat people fairly and for the working environment to be good. If that's not the case in your company then it's perhaps time to think about moving on.

That and everything else in your post has convinced me at last. It really is time to move on.

Thanks!

You've got to figure out what the problem is. Sounds simple. But I spent more than 20 years running from jobs I didn't like, never QUITE being able to put my finger on what I didn't like about them. (With a couple easy exceptions.)
I'm definitely not "satisfied in my current position." But I've got a good grasp on what part of that is my own egomaniacal foolishness and what part is actually environmental.
Knowing where I want to get and figuring out how I'm going to get there, how long I have to suffer my current environment and make the best of it and what I'm going to get out of it makes ALL the difference in making a bad situation bearable.

Good advice... Like I said, I love the work... I learn something new all the time, that's the best part.

"If they'd just leave me alone so I could do what I DO." was one of my big ones.
Stated with callous honesty: "I'd get so much more work done if it weren't for the damn users."
That was something the big banks always had over the small shops. We had project managers and business analysts to keep the developers left alone. BUT that was at the cost of some world class institutionalized crazy.

I guess we're left alone a little too much, there's no real control over who does what. There's organized chaos... and then there's what we're doing... disorganized chaos...
