Must be an interesting work place...

Official Google Blog: I'm feeling silly

"Not long ago, I walked by the desk of software engineer JJ Furman, and saw that he had made an interesting addition to his desk: a large blob of Silly Putty, about the size of a grapefruit. Intrigued, I asked how he'd gotten so much of the stuff. The answer? A bulk order directly from the manufacturer! Of course.

I knew then that I wanted some, and it dawned on me that I probably wasn't the only one. So I set out to place a really, really big bulk order. An email went out to cohorts. Their orders came in. Three weeks later, I had an eighth of a ton of Silly Putty delivered to my desk ..."

While some may think Google is the new evil empire, I think it sure would be an interesting place to work...

I've worked at places/departments that make random ice cream runs, movie outings, etc, but buying 1/8 of a ton of Silly Putty is over the top... lol
