Are you happy at work? Although I've heard from many working stiffs recently that they can't stand the site of the office, a recent survey refutes those opinions. Do you like your job? Why or why not? I love hearing from readers on this so I can see which responses come back as objective or subjective.

It's good to known that a recent survey concluded with the fact that a large majority of workers are actually happy with their job at this time, even though this weekend's stretch for three days will most likely be a welcome relief to many.

An average of about 86 percent of Americans say that they are satisfied with their jobs (averaged since 1972), and nearly 50 percent are "very satisfied" with their jobs. Not too bad, although it seems like I hear the exact opposite from many people. Maybe it's just my area.

Hate your job? You're almost certainly not alone. But while you could go out and look for a new one, that's not always an option, and could take months -- meanwhile, here you are, unhappy every day from 8 to 5.

So how can you fix it?

This Yahoo! Finance article has four good suggestions: make a friend a work, decrease your commute time by moving closer to work, know when it's not about your job, and do good deeds. Did you know your grumpy mood from a bad commute is likely to stick with you the entire day? Or, in general, that the type of work you do won't actually have a huge effect on whether you're happy or not?

Beyond a few interesting tid bits, a lot of the explanation behind those four suggestions may be advice you've heard before. But if you're in a rut and feeling trapped, anything that helps you move forward is a good first step, right? Take a look, you'll feel better for it.
