How much do I love a job that interrupts your workday in the afternoon for sweets (cake, cupcakes, cookies, fudge) and champagne?

I mean, sure we were celebrating a corporate milestone, but it just feels like they want to indulge us sometimes. ^_____^

Fudge and champagne?!

I WANT YOUR JOB!

It's not always sunshine and roses, but we do get some perks. :D

The problem with drinking champagne in the middle of the day is, a) I get buzzed really quickly, and then b) want to sleep. D:

Ahahaha. They used to do nothing BUT eat at the lab I interned at. No champagne, though. :(

This place isn't nearly as bad as some of the other companies I worked at, where I swore we had cake like, every week. o_O That's a little much.

[robinsena.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, that is definitely bad. PARTICULARLY WHEN THE CAKE IS A LIE. Pie > failcake.

That reminds me of when I worked as a travel agent for American Express. The hotel reps were always bringing in pastries and sweet-ass box lunches along with free room passes and shit. Great job, if you don't mind weighing 300 lbs at the end of the day. *sigh*

Yeah, I'm going to be paying for what I ate today during tomorrow morning's workout. :p

I'm glad this place at least insists on healthy snacks most of the time (fresh fruit).

I work at such a place!
Today we got pizza, there's always homemade stuff and weekly donuts. I would think they want to fatten us up ... except we have a gym with trainers too! 0_o?

It's like that episode of Seinfeld where Elaine gets pissed because of all the cake breaks ... but then finds she's hooked on the afternoon sugar fix. XD

We actually have a gym in our building, downstairs (next to the Starbucks--gah!), but it's not as nice as the gym near my home, so I rarely work out there. I prefer to do mornings, anyway.

Yeah the sugar fix totally helps you, for about an hour. :D Then it wears off and the alcohol makes me sleepy, and I just go "....mmm". :p

Nice perks! You are a lucky woman.

[misora.livejournal.com]

I am a corporate whore, baby. :D

I think that's the best part of my job sometimes -- all of our "forced camaraderie" events in our division now include alcohol, whether it's beers at the ballgame or sangria at the end-of-fiscal celebre. Sometimes, it's the only reason to head to said "forced camaraderie" events. Hope you snagged that bottle!

[misora.livejournal.com]

Yeah there's usually some form of alcohol that accompanies our socials, too. We had sangria at our last happy hour (and a Wii!). :D Mmmmm.

I still maintain that you can't enjoy baseball and beer together properly unless you're using them together, as in sloshball, with a keg on 2nd base. Good times, good times. XD
