'Hell Bound'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
nevermas, n. A time or date which never comes.
this word made me all melancholic.
We have subsidized snacking here. 25 cent sodas, which I don't drink at all anymore. I cared more about the snacks when we had Tastykakes in the machine (those were 35 cents).
Perqs here are that the admin staff is allowed to forage through the leavings in the conference rooms after meetings if someone has miscalculated the food/doctor ratio in favor of the food.
We also have...wait for it...a water cooler in the department main office that does both cold and hot water!!!!!!

Hee. Damn air molecule. You can never tell when that sucker's coming back, either.
Yeah, I think I just breathed it. It might have participated in a chemical reaction with a hydrocarbon by now....
What kind of air molecule was it?
You know how there was a series of articles on the crazy catering that's done in the med/pharma industry? My brother could avoid buying any food, ever, and not starve. Quite the opposite, in fact. Hell, he brings the leftovers home and the whole family eats it. (And it's good food! Not crappy generic catering stuff, high-class restaurant stuff.)
Of course, right now he's having to forgo it as he's in a study where they provide all the food for something ridiculous like 3 months and pay him $450. My brother, the guinea pig. Tthat isn't a weird diet or anything, at least. But he still grabs catered stuff for wife and kid.
At my old work, we had various snacky foods, soda, juice, tea, coffee available.
Here, we have the Coffee Saint and the Diet Coke Fairy. Occasionally, we have the Snack Gypsy. But he doesn't come around all that often.
Crap! My brain fog has caused me to bite down on my temporary filling and break it! I don't want to go to the dentist again!
The phrase "e pluribus unum" originally comes from a recipe for salad dressing.

Damn, JZ. I'll give you the company car if I could just have the water cooler with the dual spouts! No more microwaving water for tea. Oh, the very thought is sheer bliss.

My major perq at work is all the library books I can check out, with basically no fines ever.
There is occasionally free leftover food.
In Wrong news, a major donor is a Pepsi executive, so there is no Coke machine in the building, and no Coke served at any events in the building.
