a new Google employee
(see also: Alan)
Ladies and Gentlemen, a long long overdue blog post is necessary.
I have just completed week 2 of my new life at Google. Margaret and I are moved in, and adjusting to living in Mountain View. I'm trying to cope with living so close to a Fry's Electronics, and an Apple Store. I got a new bicycle which I now ride to work, which gets me about 5 miles of bike travel a day. Which is key because the food at work is...amazing. I've eaten at restaurants all over the world, and every meal has started with "oh wow, this is the best xyz I've ever had!" Google employment fundamentally changes your relationship with food. It's free, plentiful, and the quality is amazing, you have to break free of the squirrel mentality of "omg food! eat it all!" That is so common today.
I also got this great Noogler hat, which actually has a spinning propeller on top, we all had to wear them for our introduction to the company.Margaret has hinted that I've been a bit of a groomzilla lately, it's quite true. Everyone knows I'm picky, and quite frankly, I've been very unimpressed with most of the places we've looked at, especially for the amount of money they want to take from us, thats all ;)
So the update is, life is good! and very very busy!

I am so freaking happy for you, you don't even know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can I work at Google too? We'll be work buddies and have adjacent cubicles and it'll be great!!!!!!!!
Wait...I have no marketable skills.
In short, Alan, you are the awesomest, because you have climbed to the top of the Google pyramid, leaving the dead and dying with no marketable skills behind you in a pile at the base of the pyramid. All hail Alan, who hast broken into the inner Google sanctum, where none of my friends hast gone before!
I would say more like finding the bottom of the pyramid ;-)
I have to admit, I kind of like that picture now... even if it does make you look like a freak.
