    You can't really find joy in your work if you don't like doing it in the first place. I am not happy with my current work but I have no choice since I need the money.

    Set challenges for yourself.. try to find the things that you do like. Do extra things if you have to, to make the boring repetitive work more pleasant.. or try to do things in a different (better) way.

    If you are the boss in your office then appoint some sexy ladies as employee.
    If you are not the boss then try to get a job in an office where you will have sexy colleagues.There you can find real joy in work ;)

    That's a very nice and funny suggestion. :D :D

    I think if you want to find joy in work, try to take your work as a challenge and never crib about it (I am not pointing towards you, its just that some people keep cribbing about their work and they are never able to enjoy it).

    Some activities like chatting with your colleagues in the free time/breaks, some fun activities at work (like some team building games, pizza party at office, occasional outings/parties), any other incentives, etc. can also help!

    You need to do what you like, but most of us end up having to like what we do ;)

    You have to really enjoy your work to be able to find joy in it. If you do not enjoy working maybe you should get another job. When you are looking forward to going to work each and every day you will know that you have found the right job.

    You need to love the work you have to at your workplace.
    Theres a thing called Job Satisfaction. You won't get it untill you start to like your duty.
