It's not one big thing but a number of small things

1.  Great team to work with.  Funny, smart, supportive, helpful....
2.  Great view of the city from my top floor window on sunny days
3.  Those assignments when I can use my creativity
4.  The fact that I've been here long enough to have some "institutional memory" and am considered a valuable resource because of it.
5. The energy of an academic environment
7.  Outstanding medical benefits (yes, I have to contribute a portion, but they're far and away better and more comprehensive than anything I could afford on my own) and generous vacation time (20 days plus Christmas week!)
