Satisfied or Comfortable

Hi Kenneth, can i ask a question? I just got a mail from my customer, he said we are comfortable with your current situation, is that mean he is satisfied with my currect situation? Thanks

My Response:
Yes, "comfortable" is synonymous with "satisfied." He could have said we are satisfied with your situation. Same thing. I am comfortable with the plan. I am satisfied with the plan. I am comfortable with my new job. I am satisfied with my new job.

My Note:
However, you can be comfortable with something and not necessarily satisfied. It is comfortable to me because I feel good, not bad about it. However, I am not totally satisfied with the results of it. I would like to have something to make me more satisfied with it, but I am comfortable.
