I like my job but not sure if I "love" it. What are signs someone loves their job?

Like for me, I took today off and I enjoyed it, but didn't really miss my job. I did feel like I was missing out on what was going on and still accepted calls and replied to some emails. When I'm there I'm usually not watching the clock or wanting to leave. I do enjoy what I do, but love is a strong word. If I won the lottery I would keep doing it, but I wouldn't work for free like some people say they would. So what does loving your job really mean?

to me, loving my job means Im passionate about it and would want to keep doing it despite any circumstances that may stop me.

For me thats being a mom, homeschooling and being a nanny.

Never love anything that cannot love you back.

I once heard "Do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life." So I've never tried to love my job for fear of being unemployable.

I imagine you love it if you wouldn't mind doing it for free. I haven't found a job like that yet...probably never will.

If you don't love your job, find a way to love it or change it.
