Potatoes

Though Valerie works in a regular (albeit unusually large and pretty) office, with a computer and meeting rooms and such, the setting for her new job is quite different than those she's come across in the past. It involves biology labs, greenhouses, and fields and fields of potatoes, sweet potatoes, and other tuber crops.

The commute is tough, but the work campus is lovely. The office buildings are surrounded by gardens with exotic flowers, lots of birds (including a large quantity of humming birds), and sports facilities. She really likes being able to walk around the potato fields at lunch to get some fresh air - and keeps meaning to bring her running gear to really take advantage of them. Most of all, she gets a big kick out of working for a place that has wheelbarrows - and from time to time sends its staff home with freshly picked bags of potatoes and other crops.
