F-ing Google...

A good friend of mine works security at the corp. office out in Colorado... I was out for a visit, and asked said friend if I could get a tour the day I dropped them off at work... Apparently, Google has a strict No Visitors rule.

Ok, ok, so it's not that big a deal... but seriously?? Bastards. I couldn't even use the friggin' restroom in the lobby!

restroom? Admit it you were trying to leave a steamer on Matt Cutts desk.

It's like that little picture next to the title says.... I was just venting. I just feel Google is.... snobbish. I mean, for as big as they are, and as many people who follow them like the bible, you'd think they'd appreciate the customer even just a teensy bit, no?

You mean the one in Boulder? They don't do anything interesting there anyway. It used to be Writely, or SketchUp, or whatever.

I was out at a bar one night and suddenly I was surrounded by guys in Google t-shirts, I thought they'd finally found me and were ready to "Google Slap" me in person. Everyone told me that it was just their softball team celebrating, but maybe that's just what they wanted me to think...

Should've spent your time getting further west on Pearl to Illegal Pete's.

They don't want you to see the warehouse full of 10 year old Indian kids they have spending 18 hours a day doing manual quality reviews.

Not the one in Boulder... This one was in Thornton... But it might be the "same one" and they just transferred offices.

Heh.... I'd never have given her a ride if it was in the People's Republic of Boulder.... I stay out of that hippie town as much as possible. Had my fill of it when I worked for Celestial Seasonings. Talk about a damn fairy tale work place... and not because it was great to work there, either. Chalk it up to the millions of bunnies and prairie dogs running rampant, and the (gag me with a pitchfork) quotes hung every 3 feet on the walls.
