Things I've learned this month
Things I've learned from my first month at Google Santa Monica
- Kicking a big exercise ball around the office is considered normal
- My HR person is a member of WAKA (World Adult Kickball Association)
- I'm allowed to have playdates
- My building is small enough to get to know people in other departments
- There are two couches, 3 trampoline like chairs, a giant beanbag, an old fashioned candy machine and a massage chair directly around the corner from my cubicle not to mention the kitchen/bar/snack area if you continue in that direction
- I now appreciate the hours of 11-3 because we have the most fun EVER
- People look at me funny when I mention Outlook
- Sometimes you just have to play ping-pong/foosball/pacman/scooter tag... right?
- GoogleTalking is encouraged
- We are all baristas in training
- I personally know my IT/HR people and they rock
- Playing with toys at your desk just increases creativity
- There are people here who have my major!
- The mini circle rugs double as security devices to keep people from getting to the snacks, right Stephen?
- Sunset shots on the deck/roof is brilliant
- There's a surf board in my lobby (hang 10^100 bro!)
And last but not least,
- I really like it here :)
