Things you enjoy at the workplace?

I *love* my job, too. Here are a few reasons:

• My job is very diverse. No two days are ever the same. I am rarely bored, and if I am bored one day, I know the next day will not be.
• I love waiting on 99.9% of my customers. The majority are "regulars" so I get to know them on a somewhat personal basis.
• My office environment is wonderful. There are only 8 people, and we are like a family.
• I do a lot of design work, so it's a creative outlet
• I feel appreciated
• So many other aspects, too many to list.

I work in a lab, which may seem like a dry environment. Just the opposite! If you get enough MDs and PhDs together it gets really wacky! I think 75% of my coworkers have cats. I knew there was something I liked about this place. Also, what I work on today might save someone tomorrow (we make AIDS drugs, blood pressure meds and asthma meds, and a few other kinds of drugs.)

I am still getting used to my labmates, but I really like my advisors. I like the classes I'm taking this semester, and I think I'm going to get a really good PhD project.
