What are the best perks of your job???
Ok guys you have to tell me what the best part of your job is.
Here is mine:
some people are like slinky's
they have no useful purpose
but they are fun to watch
when you push them down the stairs

Working from home is an absolute bonus. I can dial in and work anytime I need to, and balance out personal time in the day - until the mobile rings of
course.
It makes for a great work / life balance. Gives me great time with the kids and my wife, and permits me to do work up until anytime in the evening. I
try and keep all my meetings for one City visit per week.:thumb

ummm... free pathology? i guess you could say thats a perk seeing how exy path is.
actually, i think the best part of my job is getting to see all the lumpy oozy broken bits of people, i.e. cancerous kidneys, crushed legs, brain
tumours, huge testicles and uterus' that look like aliens.
used to make me feel sick but now i find it so damn interesting!!
you may now feel free to be sick. |

oh go on, rub it in to the unemployed. :P
My first job was my best job. Fitter at BHP Stainless (RIP). Loved doing friday afternoon/nightshift doubler. Work flat out till 8:30. Kick back and
open some beers and watch the footy on TV. Go to sleep till 7 the next morning. Same thing I would be doing if I was at home. And get paid double time
to do it. Wont ever find a job like that again. Unless I get involved in politics.

Well Skewy and Psycho - I'm with you. I work in a wholesale bakery so all the free cakes, pies etc you want. The only disadvantage is eating
them, I am sure I just have to smell them cooking to put on the weight. Oh and after you have worked there a while you are so sick of the stuff you
don't want it anymore. |

buzzbug go see 'Adrenalin Rush' at IMAX if you possibly can!!! It's all free falling and base jumps!!!:o It's a rush just watching
the film. Pity I hate heights so much, but love planes
Skewy best bakery in Oz, it gets my vote... Jackman & McCross up in Battery Point Hobart!! Their stuff is to die for....:thumb
Wouldn't mind perks from there!!
Visit it if you get down that way, you'd love it!!!

the next biggest was the official ge tour. it took 3 hours and the prodution line was like 3 miles long. a big high light was bumping into the KKK in
louisville, htey wre in town for a convention, and going to daytona 500 qualifying. also went to china, have a great photo hangin off the side of the
great wall. germany, uk, singapore, amsterdam, taiwan, thailand. all free junket tours to 'promote' manugfacturers produx.
was a lot of fun all of em.

foudn a pic. this was achallenge for the best photo. as all you saw was people standing in front of things and all stiff and stuf. so i said if the
guards did not have guns i would hang off the outside. well the guards had battons so out i went. didnt expect it to be like 6 or 7 metres high. but
was worth it. the photo was taken by one of my counterparts in QLD.

Hey Buzzbug, that jump out of the plane looks like a safety jump into a swimming pool!.
No perks with my job, just don't work weekends and Friday is 12.30 knock off, the rest is crap.
