I love my job...

[auburnchick]

I don't think I've gained anything. Since we don't have snack machines, I don't get the stuff I used to at my old job. I only work part-time and miss the snacks in the afternoon. I rarely eat anything before I come home...skip breakfast and work through lunch to give me an extra hour of pay.

lol well it is a little bit of a journey to get to the ice cream (not sure if standing in an elevator counts as excercise though ) and actually i have been there about 3 weeks and yesterday was the first time i actually decided to go ahead and get some. If you check my inadequately update blog you will see some not so subtle hints as to where I work.

Honestly i am delighted by how well they try to take care of us there. The actual benefits are great, they have a great selection for lunch if i want to eat in, they make sure our work stations are built to suit our need ergonomically, lots of groups that you can belong to (even a chess club...lol. ooooh i should start a knitting group! ) it really is great. coming from an environment where the owner didn't shut down the business during a huge snow storm where the mayor asked the businesses to send everybody home or not even open to this is great.

but seriously.... the ice cream!

At my old job there was a little coffee shop in the lobby that had ice cream. I never had any (li'l problem with lactose) but they had fruit salads, sandwiches, snacks, cereal, etc. It was just like a mini grocery. Also there was a restraunt, that I never went to.... someone had a roach in their salad once. But a lot of others in the office went down to those places every day. Just my luck, when I quit they were putting in an Au Bon Pain.... I would have liked that!!! But I am glad for you that you love your job! It makes getting up and going to work so much nicer when you like where you are going!!

Ice cream????


P.S. to AuburnChick-I work in a law office, too. My biggest perk--I get to eat lunch at my desk

Geez PurlyGyrl, they let you eat lunch?? I gave up drinking any liquid between 8:30 and 5:00 so my boss won't follow me into the ladies' room. HE has been known to follow me down the hall or yells for a phone number as I'm coming back. (The following really happened and had one of the other secys in stitches.)

Sheesh, lawyers!

Cheesie!! Well, I had one lawyer wait outside the restroom door and when I opened the door, he jumped at me like a jack-in-box and said "Denise, I need a label for this file!" While still standing INSIDE the bathroom I said "Well, James I don't have any labels in here--let me get back to my desk!" He just stood there looking puzzled.

Yep, lawyers love 'em or hate 'em, can't kill 'em (although it would be justifiable homicide!!!)

I'm glad they feed you well with Ice cream...

I'm a legal secretary, or what we lovingly refer to as a masochist! (Actually, if I had killed him when I first thought about it, I'd be outta jail now.)
