I think it would be interesting to have dwarves get a special boost of happiness/penalty on certain jobs, either randomized or perhaps learned after years of doing it. Also a few quirky dwarves might actually find doing some things to be so fulfilling that they can go without sleep for months if the job is avaliable, or the other way around, dwarves that can only do a certain job a few times before getting so tired that they need to go to sleep.

well that does seem realistic, you're examples kind of contradict each other, if they refer to the same dwarf.

They refer to different dwarves.

I like this idea, and in a sense, it's already implemented into the game somewhat.

Some dwarves like helping others (can't remember the exact text for that dwarf preference, but the meaning's the same.)
A dwarf who likes helping others will be more likely to bring in an injured dwarf as well as getting a happiness bonus for doing so.

Dwarves who don't like helping others are the opposite.

And if a dwarf manufactures or interacts with a favored object, they will sometimes get a 'satisfied at work' thought.

Itīs tied to personality traits and favorite items and animal now, I think it needs to go one step further. Not if the dwarf likes to forge shortswords because he likes shortswords, but that itīs the forging itself that the dwarf likes to do. I want some dwarves to think "Oh yeah, today was a great day, engraving walls is the best!" or "Why do I have to carry amulets to the depot? BOOORED!"
