Lunch at Google!

Yesterday Laura, the HR rep, invited us to have lunch at Google in order to literally get a taste of Google along with two other people that will be on Jason’s team. There are 17 restaurants on campus to choose from, so it was a little overwhelming to choose. Everything is free. All you need is your company ID badge to swipe in order to get into the restaurants. They serve breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack time where a snack cart comes around there, also. I know the whole reason to have all meals there available for employees is to basically have them be more productive and possibly stay later, but it keeps the employees happy. I think everyone is aware of the alternative motive. I just don’t think that they mind all that much. There’s an exercise gym there, too, in order to work off the damage you’ve done to yourself throughout the day.

There is a choice of all kinds of (our favorite) foods such as Indian, Mediterranean, and Chinese. There’s also a good variety of American fare. The food was wonderful. I really don’t have to worry about Jason on days that I work because I know that he will definitely not go hungry at this place. I just have to get him to get over his embarrassment of smuggling food home. They do have doggy bags…

The campus really did look like a college campus. In order to get from point A to point B, we were able to take a ride in an electric car (a glorified golf cart). It only went 18 mph, but it was still pretty fun. I did have the privilege of driving the electric car back to our original destination. That really made my day. I’m a little jealous of Jason. He is going to have the coolest work place ever.
