Every day, my one hour lunch "break" consists of unpacking my packed lunch, sitting in my cubicle, and eating while working. When it's not so busy, I read the news and check my email or goof off with my co-worker who almost always has something entertaining to show or tell me.

But today was different! I met up with my good friend Special-K, who works at Google NYC, and yes kiddos, Amy had lunch at Google today. And I was in awe. The whole time. As she showed me around, I looked everywhere with this child-like wonder, taking in all the details (maps! toys! people in jeans! legos! posters! bright colors!). At one point, Special-K handed me a scooter—she took one as well—and we scootered off. I scootered around in an office. Why can't my job be more like this?

There were just so many people, something I'm not used. Where I work, everyone's always busy and hunkered down in their own cubicles, but over there—man! I could feel the good vibes and energy. The cafeteria was packed, and I was admittedly overwhelmed. I managed to get a hold of myself and actually get food. And the food is really good, like what most people have said. My stomach was happy.

On my subway ride back to reality, I was in a daze. It was like I escaped into this alternate work world... I want to go there.

I'm really glad you enjoyed it, I was a bit concerned for a bit that it was all too much to take in, but once you get past that it's as good a work environment as you'll get, I think :)







Hi, my name is Amy. Be well, and say hello!
