Dinner at Google

Jenny and I were fortunate enough to be invited to a dinner at Google with Jared! The choices in the cafe/eatery were just overwhelming so I befriend some other Googleites to make suggestions. I ended up with my personal pizza and some random vegatables that looked good. Then after dinner we had a tour of the place. (Where we would grab random treats from the food stations, ie: cliff bars, cereal, orange slices, m&m's and more.)
I had been there a year ago for lunch but things have changed since then. Many wonderful colors which my artist eye just couldn't get enough of. It was fun, I felt like a tourist while I was there with my "Google Visiter" sticker.

Searching...searching...

When you walk into the visiters lobby there is a screen of all the google searches that people are doing around the world. Yours might pop up there also.

Office equip

All of the office quipment at Google is named after a Simpson character.

Going nowhere

Those hardworking Googleites need to get some exercise after sitting behind a computer all day.
Check out all of the cool colors and doors that go no where at google. I love it! A very stimulating environment.

Jenny and I got some exercise on the workout machine randomly placed in the middle of the hallway. I asked Jared if he works out on them, he said "no." I would if I worked at Google.

All tuckered out

After that I decided to play peek-a-boo and take a nap on one of Google's fun and comfortable couches.

What Jared REALLY does at work.

Jared claims to work on the gmail team, but we all know that he really uses his Stanford education to laze around and take advantage of Google's many incredible accomadations at work. (We're still trying to get him to use a fitness orb to sit on like Dwight does in The Office.)
