Google People Rok My Sox

Remember how I said that Google was hiring and that I was invited to apply for a position offered by a Google recruiter some time back? Well, a blog reader (who's a Google employee!) wrote me telling me I should go for it if I could. But since I couldn't, he thought he'd entice me with a taste of the Google world.


That was a few days back.


Today, a courier arrived for me over lunch. And upon returning to the office, Karaoke Queen passed me a big, brown, mysteriously flat and rectangular box with my name on it.




Yep. It's actually quite big.
(Note the size compared to my Macbook Pro.)


Excitedness! I cut the tape on all sides to pry the box open and suddenly, it was like a geek's / freebie junkie's candy store just exploded on my table!! Haha.




Google goodies galore!!!

*squeals from excitement*


I saw Google notebooks, a Google Rubik Cube, Google lanyards, Google key-chains and a Google T-shirt! All for me?? YESSS!!! But that wasn't all of it. Under one of the T-shirt were other hidden goodies!!




Blogger stickers, MORE Google T-shirts,
a little something-something, and a note from the sender.




Now I understand why there are 3 Google tees! He even factored in The FiancĂ© when sending me the gift pack! How kind! But I think that the bestestest part of this entire gift pack was the paragraph in his note that reminded me why I keep doing what I do – that is to blog.




------------

Thanks, Google Man.

Like The FiancĂ© said when I told him he got a free T-shirt from you, too: Google really does recruit only the best people. =) Your box of goodies brought a lot of sunshine (and colour – red, blue, green and yellow =p) into my rainy Monday. So, thank you for that, for the kind words, and for the many gifts. =)

Grateful,
Pam Song

p/s: Your secret's safe with me! =p
