Awesome Work Environment

An awesome work environment can make even tedious work feel enjoyable.  I’m currently sitting on the deck at my coworking office working on my MacBook, a couple of burgers are grilling on the BBQ, and a bottle of Steaz soda is waiting for me.  When Mike Mullen shows up after lunch, we’ll sit out here and work on finishing up a project deliverable we’re collaborating on.

I can’t work like this everyday and I think it might start raining, but when it comes to a working environment, it doesn’t get much better than this.

How do you like to work?  How does that contrast with your current working environment?

    Nothing beats a scotch in the office after finishing a project!

    I prefer to drink beer naked while coding. I find the more I drink, the better the code. Unfortunately, my current employer frowns on showing up at the office with a 12-pack and nothing on. :(
