Things I Love About My New Job:

There are dictionaries everywhere.
We get free mugs! With book titles on them!
Everyone thinks that using correct punctuation is actually important.
Instead of sending things to a specific printer, you set them to print, generally, and then go and find a printer you want to use. No remembering printer codes and then accidentally picking the wrong one!
The lunch tables have a half-completed jigsaw puzzle and an ongoing Scrabble game on them, among other things.
Because this is a workplace full of editors, said Scrabble game is epic and intimidating.
I can get extra days of leave if I'm volunteering for charity.
They have Secret Projects That Must Not Be Talked About. With code names.
No-one thinks it's weird that I have spaceships on my desk. In fact, I am not the strangest person here.
