Our food-like perqs come down to whatever someone brings in and leaves on the kitchen table. And new as of January 2007 is that we are allowed to have a coffeemaker in the kitchen. I shit you not -- someone had asked Big!Boss a few years ago if she could bring in a coffeemaker for the entire office to use, and Big!Boss said no, you may not.
WTF?!?
But apparently he's relented, and now we have coffee! Which is kind of a perq, but not a company-provided perq, as we all chip in by bringing in coffee, filters, and cream/sugar/etc. The company doesn't subsidize my caffeine addiction (but my co-workers do).
I think ultimately, we complain about whatever. It's kinda just there, you know?
There's this certain air molecule two feet in front of me (and a little to the right) that just sucks!!!
Probably belongs to Teppy.
Nah, I saw a name tag on it that said "Property of Lee the Sucktastic."
Britney Spears is back out of rehab.
I heard a rumour that pharmaceutical sales reps were all really pretty. Every time I go to my migraine specialist there are tons of nattily dressed people lugging rolling suitcases who look suspiciously goodlooking--so far I haven't seen any reps who disprove this theory.
True?
I was reading some of the details of the circumstances in which my GP and other affiliated docs would see pharma reps, and the rep had to cater for twenty odd people even if they only were trying to get to one doctor.
Sweet.
We also have...wait for it...a water cooler in the department main office that does both cold and hot water!!!!!!
Wow! The theatre I'm at the most just has an M&M vending machine.
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?
Sounds like a slutty one.
The phrase "e pluribus unum" originally comes from a recipe for salad dressing.
I thought it was just salad.
Britney Spears is back out of rehab.
No. Way.
Who am I kidding - I'm not surprised.
Still, I would think that sooner or later she'd realize it'd be best to end the circus....
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.
When I lived in Seattle I was in a study where I had to eat salmon at every meal. I was working 12 hour days in the same hospital where they did the study, so it was very convenient to go downstairs and get free food three times a day, not to mention the carryout for my days off. In the end it did get very tiresome, and it took several years before I was able to eat salmon again.
You could alternate that with checking your email.
I am checking my e-mail, b.org, livejournal,
and
staring forlornly at my work inboxes waiting for something to do.
But I just realized that I could go take a quick walk outside because it's no longer -20 out there!
Britney Spears is back out of rehab.
Is she completely hetrosexual now?
At my old job, the company did provide coffee & tea. Part of my duties included finding catering for office meetings. Any meeting over an hour got to have some sort of snack/lunch. I had permission to order for me and the other office admin, so that was sort of a perk.
