my workplace

The thing about medialand is that traditionally, the workers there, though pretty well paid, are the poor cousins of the City boys and girls.

Also traditionally, we have more fun.

Apparently ZenithOptimedia won Pathfinder Employer of the Year last night, so this morning they'd set up in reception with mounds of croissants, orange juice and, crucially, champagne.

After I typed that sentence, I took a sip of the Buck's Fizz on my desk.

Just thought you'd like to know.

Ah well. While civil servants get no perks whatsoever, having to pay for our Christmas dos even, there are distinct advantages to working on food.
On Friday we needed seasonal, local, and impressive food for a meeting. We interviewed various caterers and ended up with Caterer With Clue who realised if he impressed us there might well be more contracts coming his way. Our budget suddenly stretched to some very nice Kentish wine...
Lots of meetings in restaurants owned by people we work with, too!
