    My DJ (dream job)

    My DJ, nuff said....

    A US software company that gives its workers free beer on Friday afternoons has been named the "Best Small Company to Work for in America".

    Analytical Graphics, Inc (AGI) also gives workers access to a free laundry service, free meals - breakfast, lunch and dinner - all week and access to free snacks, confectionary and drinks. And if there are concerns that all this free nosh might pile on the pounds, there's also a gym. Which is free.

    In fact, AGI spends around $1m a year on freebies and perks for staff, according to the Detroit Free Press. As a result, workers are more productive, motivated and enjoy coming to work - while the company saves buckets loads of dosh in recruitment and training.

    The Philadelphia, PA, company, which provides geospatial analysis and visualisation software to the aerospace and defence industries, topped the list of the "Best Small Company to Work for in America" award among the "Best Small Companies" category.

    The awards were organised by the Great Place to Work Institute and the Society for Human Resource Management - and they're aready on the hunt for next year's likely winners

    Sweet.
    I used to work for a DNA lab before I got into programming, once a month we had happy hour in a conference room with free beer/food. Me and 3 or 4 other guys would slam beers for the full hour, getting 7 or 8 in us before heading back to work to sequence DNA!! I never really understood the reasoning behind the happy hour being at noon when we had to work till 5, I guess we were supposed to sip the beers.
    Noon to 1 - slam beers
    1 - 2 - Smoke Break and laugh at the Uni for allowing us to get drunk at work
    2 - 5 - Research for the benefit of mankind.

    Ah, the good ol' days.
