I have to say it is much more fun being a technology engineer than a banker. Last summer we visited Google’s Seattle HQ as Mojo’s friend (of course) is a Managing Director there.
Susan, Ace and Mark loved the black board walls and chalked their names in the reception area. We ate lunch in the employee dining room serving dishes for carnivores to vegans to junk food addicts. We investigated the 24/7 snack area stocked with sodas and fresh baked cookies and a whole candy store of gummy bears, ice cream, tootsie rolls and bubble gum. There was also fruit for those who indulged in such things.
The highlight was the game room. It was equipped with bean bag chairs, video games, electric guitars, a pool table and air hockey. After Mark crashed the electric scooter into the pinball machine and did not get kicked out, the children decided right then and there when they grow up they want to work at Google.
The engineers have had a little creative fun this holiday.
Do a Google Search on Let It Snow, wait a minute and see what happens.
