Most jobs have some type of perk associated with it. Like free cookies when you work in a bakery. In the helping profession I chose, my perks tend to be in the form of feeling good about helping others rather than buckets of money or free things. We hardly ever got a free lunch from anyone. While I was still at the U, they would not let vendors bring in bagels for us for early morning inservices. I do not know about you, but it would take a hell of a lot more to buy me!!
I am part of a minority of women here in the NYC metro area who does not get manicures or pedicures. My feet are downright FUGLY, and trying to pretty up my feet would be like putting lipstick on a pig. A lot of girls out here wax too, but I am too cheap (and not in the mood to suffer for beauty). I treat little preschool girls who go the the nail salons with their moms and get little rainbows and other designs on their tiny nails. One of my preschoolers suddenly decided during our treatment session that I needed my nails done. I was able to let her chose colors and give me a manicure while actually working on balance (man I am brave). Here is the result. Of course I keep forgetting about it. I wonder how many days before I remember to take it off! It is hard to tell in the picture, but the color palate is blue alternating with pink (even though I asked for clear and sparkly!). I work with another child who wants to clean my house. If he is not careful I will have to take him up on that one!!

That's better than the beauty bar!
I could not capture the interesting textures that the polish was laid, so it actually was worse than it looked.
