Every work place has its habits, joys and annoyances.  After a while, they become commonplace and are just accepted as part of the everyday.  So, what are some of the telling signs that you are at Schaefer Advertisng?

• The doorbell buzzes every time the intern enters because they don’t have a key
• You are asked who would win in a fight: a pirate or a ninja?
• Everyone gets excited about their drinks because it has Sonic ice. 
• The coffee/espresso machine is so complicated; we have to have a resident barista to operate it.
• You are heavily persecuted for selecting a crappy Pandora station to air throughout the office.
  
• You find yourself sitting on Ken’s grandma’s couch during a creative briefing. 
• You hear a stumble or a crash from any one of the three floors, and everyone scrambles toward the noise to see who might have tripped or fallen. 
• The urinal in the men’s bathroom stares back at you.
• You get excited about the decorator coming back to the office with new trinkets.
• You have to pause your work and greet a random person that stopped by to take a tour of the building.
• You hear the pitter-patter of paws headed your way, and you know you are going to be obligated to rub Boon’s belly (Ken’s dog)

And finally….you know you are at Schaefer Advertising when you hear some rendition of “Halleluiah” playing on Pandora for the 10^th time in a single day.
