<p>I’ve got a free “gym,” too - I can lace on my shoes and run out the front door anytime I want. And I do! I have a friend who works 3 to 11 pm, so she runs with me three times a week. If it’s raining or below 10 degrees, I run on our treadmill and watch TV.</p>
<p>dstark, thanks so much for sharing. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>:)…</p>
<p>I am pretty sure I am not the only one here that works naked. Well…besides NJres…</p>
<p>I have seen a picture of NJres. I don’t know why he would feel weird.</p>
<p>I am slower than usual today… dstark works “stark” naked… now I get it! :)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Ummm – naked?</p>
<p>VeryHappy…</p>
<p>Lol.</p>
<p>I worked naked one day, because nobody EVER rings our doorbell. Ha, it rang that day! I don’t think it has rung since.</p>
<p>MaineLonghorn, the truth comes out. :)</p>
<p>One time my wife and I were staying at a resort and we had nice views of the resort. I told my wife people couldn’t see into our room. So my wife worked out in front of the windows. Naked.</p>
<p>Oops.</p>
<p>Well…I thought you couldn’t see into the room. The windows were tinted. :)</p>
<p>Ok!!! And back to our regularly scheduled program… and our PG rating. :)</p>
<p>the things you learn about people…</p>
<p>Never mind regularly scheduled programming–I want deets on dstark and jnres.</p>
<p>Small electrical manufacturer. We get a free flu shot and free coffee. It’s pretty lame considering so many friends work for Microsoft, Google, Amazon, etc. Nakedity not encouraged - rotating machinery.</p>
<p>When I was doing restoration work, a huge perk was getting to be outside every day.
Often the scenery was just gorgeous.
We also were often given coffee/snacks/ lunch by the homeowners or businesses whose land we were working on.
( on the other hand sometimes we would have to drive to town 10 -20 miles or so away to use a restroom or get water- kind of a drag when it is November & its been raining all day)
But actually it was more than balanced out by the hospitable folks.
:)</p>
<p>I’m a trainer at a large fitness facility. Not only do I get free membership, but the biggest perk (for me) is that I get to use all the really cool equipment that’s locked away in the trainer closet. Only trainers can use it with their PT clients, but all the trainers can go use the equipment for their own workouts.</p>
<p>My cable is paid and I have automotive supplier discount which I never use (and my H. has the same, never use), we buy only used cars…Besides these, our jobs are really close from home, which is the best perk of them all (after I have been driving to another job for 1 hr one way every day, I really appreciate being close from work, not asking for much more)</p>
<p>…Oops, forgot, my H’s job also gives us free membership in very great training facility with indoor pool and my job gives us discount at another one with outdoor pool, so we have memberships at 2 training facilities and use them on a daily basis, both about 5 min. from home.</p>
<p>Maybe it should be “stark raving mad?”</p>
<p>Our company has a subsidized cafeteria that supposedly has excellent food.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t know.</p>
<p>I work in a building on the periphery of the company campus. We only get 30 minutes for lunch. Nobody in our building can actually eat in the company cafeteria because it’s impossible to get there, eat, and get back within 30 minutes. However, there is an unofficial ladies-and-gentlemen’s agreement that supervisors will look the other way if you walk to the cafeteria, get food to take out, walk back, and eat it at your desk, even though the time you spend eating at your desk brings you over the 30-minute limit.</p>
<p>But I can’t even do that. I have a messed-up knee, and I can’t walk as fast as most people do. I can’t walk to the cafeteria, go through the line, and walk back in 30 minutes. So the cafeteria is not available to me.</p>
<p>Some perk.</p>
<p>I usually eat at my desk, but I don’t think I could tell anyone to only take 30 min lunch break. But they all tend to work late and weekend sometimes.</p>
<p>TMI dstark. Now I’ll have that :eek: image when you start talking about naked calls in the other thread.</p>
<p>This reminds me of the Seinfeld episode about “good” naked versus “bad” naked.</p>
