We have a decent cafeteria onsite, but the food (which is supposedly subsidized) is average-priced (the typical lunch is $5-7). We also have a workout room downstairs, with weight machines, a few treadmills and stationary bikes, and an elliptical machine. But, I go to the park district's fitness center instead, since they have a pool there, too.
Speaking of perqs, I helped out a co-worker on a project last week, and she just came by and gave me a $25 AmEx gift cheque (paid for by the company)! I was planning on heading over to the clothes store this week and pick up some much-needed items, so I'll probably spend it on that.
I wish I had some root and a husband.
Some of us LIKE to drink it lukewarm.
I'm actually with Plei on this-- I usually drink water and even soda at room temp or just slightly chilled.

You want I should order you some when the Cookie Chair calls me? They come in in March and it would be a GREAT motivator for us to get the childrens together!
Like JZ, my employer isn't allowed to give away free food. There's a coffee club to which you contribute change occasionally, hot and cold water, and a snack bar which sells on the honor system; the money raised goes to "morale" functions. I don't know what those are.
I suspect my occasional apple cake will be as popular here as it was at the old job.
I still feel awful. When is today over?

We're eventually going to have to put that in the FAQ. I can hardly remember the gist of it except it's always funny.
