I took my brother to the Google Holiday Party. He said he recognized 50 ex-classmates from Stanford. I only recognized about 30 friends from around the company.
Somethin' ain't right there!
Some young Googlers invited us to after-party, but just the thought of it made me tired.
Around 11:30pm, things were winding down:
Me: [looking around the room] "This room is half cleared-out. All the kiddies have left."
Tom: "Yeah."
Me: "It's past their bedtime."
Tom: "No, they went up to San Francisco to party some more."
Me: "Oh, that's true."
Tom: "Let's not kid ourselves over whose bedtime it is."
Geez, I wasn't that old when I was your age.
ReplyDeleteWell, aside from work-related sleep dep, come to think of it.
ReplyDeleteYup, that's the Stanford mafia for you. No big surprise that your brother knows so many folks at Google.
ReplyDeleteAs for bedtime, I think based on your previous comments and your time stamps of your postings, you are quite the night owl and insomniac.
.
ReplyDeleteNight owl maybe..
Too old to party obviously???
Will marry soon? Absolutely!!!

I feel your pain. And then some.
ReplyDeleteI found your blog while looking for a friend who works at Google, and now I'm addicted! I have a feeling I'll be reading the whole damned thing... :)
My date works at Google, so I was there. I saw you and almost walked up to you to say hi. Then I realized "Oh shit she doesn't know me."
ReplyDeleteWeird.
re: anonymous.
ReplyDeleteSay hello next time!
I won't be weirded out, unless you start emailing me every day. :)
She won't be weirded out unless you are an Asian man.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous 4:36 AM:
ReplyDeleteGive it a rest. That's so yesterday.
No, really, it would be weird to say hi to you because I say mean things about you on your blog. ok not mean things, but un-nice things.
ReplyDeleteI doubt Niniane is weirded out by Asian men. Just because you don't want to date someone doesn't mean you are weirded out by them.
ReplyDeleteI don't date black dudes but I'm not weirded out by them.
