I'd be happy just to have a frickin' parking spot.

Perks? Here's mine:
- Faculty parking near my office (usually taken by arrogant athletes who think the world revolves around them)
- Archaic classroom technology (slate boards and rocks from the parking lot)
- Office with a door that locks every other time you try to lock it
- Sunday mornings off

I would settle for an office that's not downwind of the men's room.

I have a conference room in my lab with a large screen TV that we use as an additional monitor. Helpful for lab talks, etc.

I want a spiral slide that goes from my fourth-floor window down to the ground.

I'd like a standing desk and a full-wall dry erase board with a projector. Both of those may come with time.
And since we're dreaming: A very well hidden and secured dry bar. Don't need a wet bar, but having a good bottle of cognac available at the end of the day would be a very nice thing.

My next door office neighbor has a standing desk. I have a bottle of whiskey (American) sitting on top of my filing cabinet. A student gave it to me and I don't like and haven't taken it home. We have a bar in this building by the way :)

I would like to have a secret panel in my office leading to a spiral stair case which leads to a secret underground lair. This hidden lair would have monitors where I could cruise the CHE forums and play solitaire.

I DO have a full-wall dry erase board. Some kind of fancy dry erase paint. I can write on the wall!
I would like if our offices didn't smell like sewage. Apparently, there's an output vent too close to an intake vent somewhere on the exterior of the building.

Perks that I have:
•Everyone expects science faculty to be eccentric, might as well take advantage of it!
•Administrators don't just wander through the science building when they are bored, and they don't really want to get involved in anything I'm teaching, so less work for me.
• I get to work around carcinogens ever day
Perks I wish I had:
•The type of academic freedom that my professor's had
•The same workload the humanities faculty have at my institution
•A level of respect beyond "Oh, so your not a REAL doctor"
