my stepmom was telling me about the graphic/video/audio productioncompany (that her work gets all of thier promotional stuff done at) thathas what they call "martini thursdays," where they serve martini's to the employees and clients all day long!!!
i thought that was one of the coolest things i've ever heard of at a job!!!
so it got me thinking if there were other graphic places that had unique benefits such as this...are there any coolbenefits atyour job that you wouldn't find at other jobs? if so, drench us in your glory!

the company I used to work for had an 'Employee Appreciation Day' once a year... they grilled hamburgers for everyone at lunch. BUT if you wanted cheese on your burger, you had to bring it from home. Not kidding!
You've gotta do what you've gotta do.
Cheese can shore increase cost and realy effect the bottom line. Business 101.

I thought about bringing in a package of American cheese singles and sold 'em for 25 cents each just to make a point... but I decided it wouldn't be worth the headache.
You've gotta do what you've gotta do.
LOL! 25 cents a peice thats to cheap add a dollar per slice it's the service remember.

Jeez, glad I don't work next to you man.
Dogs and loud music. Nope.
We get nuthin too Kool.
This is the place where you bring your own TP if you think you'll need it.
If we have an all nighter the Project Managers usually send out for pizza and soda but it's a hell of a commitment to get that.
Unc, as long as the pirate doesn't die, can I work with you? Without Benjo or Silence?

I guess the only thing that is special at my job is the fact that my boss is retarded.
