Pictures from Work

Here are some pictures from my new office. The campus is crazy and pictures do not do it justice! It is modeled after the Microsoft campus, but some of it turned out like Disneyland. Each building has a theme. One building looks like the New York City subway system, one looks like a jungle complete with a replica of the Indiana Jones cave! My building is a garden theme. My carpet is purple and there is a huge papier mache dalmation playing in a fake garden outside my office door!

Here is a picture of my desk.

And here is a picture of my desk when I am actually working!


Here is a picture of my office. My desk is on the right by the window. I really need to hang up some stuff.

This is a picture of our training center. It is about the size of the OKC airport. Each lounge is named after a NASA program (Voyager, Eagle, Hubbel, etc.). The training rooms are organized by pairs and have a theme (Lois & Clark for the Superman theme, Rosencrantz & Gildenstern for Shakespear, etc.). This is definitely a company of nerds!!!

This isn't the best picture, but it gives you an idea of how the courtyard sits between all of the office buildings. There is a stream flowing through the center complete with fake ducks!
Here is a picture of some of the buildings from one of the parking lots. The majority of parking is underground so you mainly just see grass when walking around campus.


Here is a picture of the cafeteria. It kind of feels like a huge high school cafeteria (there are typically a bunch of 22 year olds sitting around). The food is great! A complete meal is under $3 and is usually gourmet. A couple of the options today included pulled pork with chipotle mashed potatoes (it was great) and butternut squash ravioli with brown butter and gorganzola.


Although we have many conference rooms, this one is my favorite. Every conference room has a fireplace and has a theme. Some of the themes include circus, an airport hangar, a snowpalace, and a barn. I am not sure what the theme of this one is, but it appears to be floating on this little pond.

Not at all what I had pictured. I had no idea it was so huge...and are you being serious about all the crazy themes? Are there really fake ducks in the pond or are you just trying to make your blog more exciting?
