ideal situation

Transferring to GDCP has been an ideal situation for me because I get to have a fresh start.
A brand new seat, to befriend cubiclemates, an NMS project whose name doesn't start with 'I' (been with INC100MS and INMS), and not to mention a daily dose of lemon scent from both CRs make life interesting.
While lurking around my favorite website (I choose not to mention the url since it might be blocked) during this non busy times, a question struck me "What could be the ideal situation for NEC? What do I consider as utopian NEC office?".

Here is a list of suggestions I can think of:
Office Building - make the fire drill more realistic by introducing pyro techniques so that in case accident happens and the fire will be victorious, our office will be transferred to a high rise building. 8th floor doesn't sound bad..
Uniform - having to wear the same jeans for successive days feels a little itchy. thus if we opt for NEC top down uniforms, most likely I won't be the only one feeling the itch.
Clinic - [please proceed to the next item]
Review Area - a review area close to GDCP. how about demolishing the clinic?
Salary - 14th month pay for credit card bills because they never miss sending us "love" letters.
Pantry - unlimited supply of coffee in our pantries. SDE3 and below don't have to regularly visit Budoy's cabinet and SE and above don't have to walk distance going to Starbucks.
Nihongo - students who excel in Nihongo (80% attendance and took all exams) will have a field trip in Tokyo Disneyland. Here's the catch, they have to participate in the company-wide nihongo speech contest.
Internet Quota - engineers who haven't reached their quota every week for a given year will also get a trip to Tokyo Disneyland. What's the catch? TBD
AOTS/IntraTransfer - just fishing...
HR - car loan, pc loan, signing incentive, and all employee benefits can be availed regardless of position. By then, hr staffs will gladly volunteer composing our resignation letters.

I could have listed some more suggestions but my daydreaming was disrupted by the percusive door-slamming in the male comfort room. Honestly, NEC is perfectly fine. It is everything you can hope for in a working environment. Operating for a decade in the Philippines is a huge success and that is what you call ideal situation.

Advanced Happy 10th Anniversary NEC! :)
