When people in my department discovered I was a "math whiz" (their words, not mine...perhaps short for wizard?) I had to stipulate certain accommodations.

Of course, I drank for free for a good long time, so just set your scruples in such a way as you can remain scrupulous but get away with boatloads of free stuff.
