What is something that is secretly cool about your job?
I'm not talking about salary or vacation benefits. I'm talking about stuff that's not obvious to an outsider and will never be mentioned as a benefit, but nonetheless it's kind of cool and brings you a little enjoyment in your workday.

For me, a secret cool thing is that I get to go behind the scenes at tons of jobs. I've gotten to tour the back operations at everything from jails to caulk factories to college presidents' offices, and I get to hear about their industries and challenges and how they view the world. I really like doing this.

Another secret cool thing is that when we do focus groups we often get to take home pizza and brownies.

The third cool thing is that I get to know all sorts of great internet places for data. I'm always hunting around and finding odd data sets. Granted, not everyone may think that's cool, but I do.


What about y'all?

Not really a secret thing but I get a ton of peace and quiet on my job. With a household of 6 that is a HUGE perk for me.

Perk of my job is that I absoulutley love the people I work with. Once a month, or more, we all get together at my cabin and have a huge party. Without them, work would be shit. They treat me like family, not their boss.
Another Perk is I get to see how things are made. From the Good, to the bad, to the ugly.
I see cool cuting edge technology at work, or I see how 19,000 hogs are slaughtered a day. Its all in a days work

I go to work in cargo shorts and a t shirt. I wear scrubs all day. It's like working in your pajamas.

Also, between patients, I can retreat to my private office and get on CP

2 weeks ago I picked up a load of beef from Tyson in Amarillo. They overshipped. I ended up with 7 cases of boneless Ribeye. 600+ lbs. Gave most of it away.

Thanks.

Like the job. Trans Am can't schedule for shit. Just taking my lumps right now for the experience until I can get something much better with more hometime.
