What is the work worth if there are no challenges in it?
Bliss does not neccesarily mean no challenges. My worklife is bliss, but it is very challenging, which is exactly what makes it a bliss.

It does in that poll 
The question: What are your biggest workday challenges?
And the option: None - my worklife is bliss

Then you don't fall into the bliss cathegory in that poll - either find the challenges you face in other options or just type yours as text answers if it's not listed.

I still agree with you Paul - the wording of the poll is dumb. I take the word 'challenge' in the poll sense to mean a hassle. The choosing of bliss means an absence of the hassles listed in the other options.

It may be dumb, but it's there.

Maybe...

It possible that you are quite correct. However, I was just playing words with the 'dumb wording' as it stands, and so you should rather look into the intent of the comment rather than drilling it so deeply.

Actually you don't have to take it all so serious because I was just playing with words here, not trying to over-analize stuff.
Original comment was just a general statement thrown for the fun of it, and the reply to your comment was exploiting a specific wording used in the poll. Just for the fun of it 
I think that life with no challenges would be a dull one and I meant to say that if you have no challenges in your job then something is wrong and it's time to change it.
To me a bliss meaning a sort of euphoric state of mind, like those people in TV commercials sometimes, would definately mean it's time to move on and find some trouble to deal with

This is a bizarre thing to say. My worklife is bliss because it is challenging, interesting, and full of opportunities to learn new stuff.

I find your way of thinking bizarre quite often, and not for the first time you can not grasp the point actually.
