'New Girl' Creator Elizabeth Meriwether Sleeps In Her Office More Than Is Healthy

thegrindstone.com: Elizabeth Meriwether, creator of the hit show New Girl, lives in her office, she admits. She keeps a sleeping bag there that she uses more than is healthy. For Christmas her showrunners gave her a pajama supply and plenty of changes of clothing.

I really like this short article for two reasons. One, I love New Girl, and its nice to know that there is serious, hard work being put into it. I know this isn't always the case, but it's nice to know that her multiple office sleepovers are paying off, as New Girl only becomes better and more popular.
Two, no one sleeps in their office if they don't love their job (with the occasional money exception). If you aren't excited about what you're doing, you go the hell home when official 'work hours' are over. This also applies to the Google example, and Google is notorious for being an awesome place to work. I disagree with the article on one point. If I am ever lucky enough to have a job that I like so much I keep working until it's bedtime and it makes the most sense to sleep in my office, I wouldn't consider myself "unhealthy" at all. If she's taking care of herself, which she probably is because she probably can't afford to get sick, I don't think it's 'unhealthy' to have a few office sleepovers a week (If you're doing them by choice and not by force).
