You smile as you greet your colleagues on this glorious new day! The Coffee (Moccamaster, what else is there!?!) is already waiting for you. When everyone is present there is daily stand up, and then you maybe hack away on your latest ticket in Vim, Emacs or other preferred weapons of choice.

Your review only rendered a small remark and you give each other a digital high-five! More coffee and maybe post something fun in Slack/Flowdock and wait for the undoubtedly stiff but funny comments.

Lunchtime!! We normally eat in the office and some bring their own food and others buy food from their favorite pickup restaurants and set days (Sausage Monday, Taco Wednesday, burger Friday etc. Why change a winning concept?).
