Why I love my company

I've only been here a couple of weeks but I love my company. We're a small startup---small enough we could all fit in a small bus. I guess we're lucky enough to have our own office but even still it isn't the greatest. I mean, check this out:

• The ceilings creak whenever someone walks on the floor above us.
• We've had the power go out and we're all just sitting in the dark.
• After a while the fridge starts making this loud buzzing sound that escalates to the volume of a chainsaw ... until someone goes over and kicks it.
• The VP of Engineering's wall-sized whiteboard has this delicate tether to the wall and it wobbles when you write on it---and it'll probably fall down any moment.
• The main conference room table also wobbles dangerously every time someone leans on it.
• The conference rooms (all 3 of them) have paper thin walls and windows. You have no privacy at all---you can hear the executive officers' voices when they get excited.
• Our method of obtaining "lock permission" on modifying some of our files basically involves walking over to people's cubes and telling them not to make any changes.
• There are two microwaves---the bottom one is missing its glass plate.
• There is a temperature control problem. Even with the windows wide open it is still like 90 degrees indoors.

But even for all these nagging problems people are really passionate about their work. It's fun to dodge golf balls in the hallway when the CEO is practicing his putting. Or when in an HR meeting we received a form to declare all the reading materials we got and the VP of Engineering pipes up calling it "the shit-that-we-got form". It's just like being in a dragon boat race where everyone is working hard to pull their weight but they're still enjoying the ride.
