Working at Google
As most of you know, I start working at Google on August 15th. I will be programming (sorry, Software Engineering™) for them, but I don’t know yet what project I’ll be working on. I move out there in the last week of July, which gives me time to settle in before I have to start work. I’ll be living at 402 Villa St. #142, Mountain View, CA 94041. (Do the math.) That’s within biking distance from Google, so I won’t have to use my car much. I also live in walking distance from Castro St., Mountain View’s downtown. I’ll have a full 1-bedroom apartment with a sofa bed, so if anyone is passing through the bay area and needs a place to crash, give me a call/email.
Castro street ain’t no 6th street, but i guess that’s to be expected since mountain view is more a suburb than a city. Though i guess to be fair, Castro doesn’t sound too exciting to me since all my memories from castro street are from when my father was the branch manager at the wells fargo there and my grandma was a librarian at the library there. So the most exciting thing i remember is the TCBY (i was 7-10, so frozen yogurt was a pretty big deal)

Enjoy your last few weeks of joblessness. Getting out into the “real” world is nice and getting a bi-weekly paycheck is a good bonus after 4 years of college. Though work does seem to eat up a good amount of my time since I started at IBM at the end of May. Overall everything is spiffy.
I will have to get ahold of you if I ever make it out to the Bay area. My brother is living out there so I do have a few reasons to visit.
