Cool facilities at your place of work.

I started a new job at the beginning of June in a library and only found out that they have a shower in the lower level for employees. My supervisor said if people come to work on a bike in the warm weather or go for a run at lunch that they can take a quick shower. Never heard of this before but thought it was a good idea. I'm still waiting to find out if there is an employee game room.

In my work there are not only showers etc but also a gym, although the gym is a bit sh1te to be fair.

Library, ya big nerd.

Ah no, just don't be a prick. I don't want to generalize, but having spent 5 years in two different colleges, I always found the library staff to be pompus ****.

:)Nah, it is a public library. Great place to work too, brand new building. Still figuring out all the new rooms.

In my old job we had a pool table, tv and dvd player in the staff room. Sometimes the lads took in a playstation. 'twas kinda cool.

As soon as I read this I knew you were in Australia. A regular occurrence in my office too!

Edit: I could also just have looked at your location of course, would have figured it out there too!

We also have a shower and a BBQ downstairs for a good ol' sausage sizzle.

Also have a good few hotties about the place which is a handy facility in itself.

kmart6 · 18-07-2008 02:40AM

AlmightyCushion · 18-07-2008 02:43AM

We have an xbox 360 in the staff canteen. It's mainly used for playing dvds though.

partyatmygaff · 18-07-2008 02:52AM

Huge Colour laser printer in office.

Only thing missing is a bed and im right at home

The Roach · 18-07-2008 05:04AM

Hmm, facilities in work... well there's a gym, library, bank, 2 coffee huts (that I know of!), free tea, coffee and soft drinks, 26Mb/sec broadband (according to Speedtest.net:D), showers, and I've been told there's a dry-cleaners tucked away in here somewhere. I'm sure there's other stuff that I don't know about, but that's enough I reckon!

BraziliaNZ · 18-07-2008 05:08AM

we get a beer fridge every fri. I think it's an aussie thing. The shower in the office thing is normal these days, can't believe OP never heard of it.

Must be a standard office thing in Oz, my office has it too. I'll cracking open my first Coopers Vintage in about 2hrs 43mins. Not that I'm clock watching or anything!

Xavi6 · 18-07-2008 05:22AM

One Cold Hand · 18-07-2008 05:26AM

Xavi6 · 18-07-2008 05:46AM

See THIS is exactly why we need an Australia forum. Four Aussie residents completely derailing a perfectly good AH thread!

(And there's not a single mod around to stop us! /evil laugh)

Well I hate to break it to you ..

A shower at work sounds like an awesome idea. Goodbye sweaty armpits

Employees at Samuel Adams Brewery in USA get beer while they work and beer to take home...

I think im in the wrong field.
