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.

That really does sound like exactly the right place for you to work - I think I'd be pretty darned happy there, too!

Sounds pretty neat- like Google, but smarter. ;-)
So how long is this one for again- sadly only short-term, yes? :-(
