Where do we sign up?

Do you think sometimes you work in the wrong place?
I was sent this the other day .... Do you want to come and visit the Google Headquarters?
A lovely place to have forty winks~ this room provides massage chairs.

Food ~ Employees can eat all they want from a vast choice of food and drink.

Leisure ~ pool tables and video games
Private cabin areas where employers can attend to personal affairs.
Health ~ professional masseurs available
Ambiance ~ there are many books in this comfortable library.

Two questions ~
When do they work?
But most importantly - I wonder .... Do they have any vacancies?

It is time for a Celebration ... I have completed 200 posts! so I will get back to you soon with the details of my Giveaway.

I hope that your week is going fabulously!!

Hugs
Carolyn

  4. Wow! That does look like a fabulous place! I had seen the exterior of the building in pictures and the outside is super fab, too! That looks like a very aesthetic place to work!

  8. that was my first thought !! when does anybody work? and what do they do when they do work? What a boondoggle....

    congrats on the big 200 ... I'm a lot more... I must be a blabbermouth...but, then... I didn't check to see who began their blog first...maybe not... you seem to post more regularly than I.... lol......

  10. Hi June,

    Looks like fun doesn't it!
    Would not even seem like work.

    Hi TattingChic,

    That is neat that you have seen the outside and that it is fab - must be a great place to work.

    Thank you for visiting Lilee.

    Thank you Sares, you would not be in any hurry to go home, of an evening.

    thank you Karen, you are so kind.

    Hi Dustjacket,

    Many thanks for visiting me today, always great to hear from you.

    Hi Vee,

    I would have thought after having having a massage you would want to just relax afterwards. I suppose they must do work at some stage.

    Hi Miss Hop-A-Long Millie,

    So sorry to hear about your leg and I will be thinking of you on Friday when you get the cast.
    I hope that the heat wave has cooled down.

    Hugs

    I love that library, it almost makes me want to return to the corporate world, note I said almost :-)

  12. I'm sure it's a trick so employees will never leave the office. We have a foozeball and pool tables at work and it really does keep certain people in the office longer than usual... I love the cable car cabin idea though!

    Congrats on your 200th post! I'm looking forward to at least 200 more :)

  13. Hey Carolyn!
    I've missed you so will I was away last week!!!!
    So where do we sign up to work in this wonderful place??? ;) This is too cool...I'd never want to go home. Well, I take that back...there's nothing like HOME!
    I loved catching up on all of your posts that I've missed. Your little Paris bear is precious!
    I hope you have a wonderful weekend, as nice as you did spending it with your friends last weekend!
    everything vintage

  19. Hi Leeann,

    I am glad that you said almost because your fabulous French life would be hard to leave.

    Thank you Haute-Shopper ~ having a pool table and fooze ball table at work would be great too.

    Hi Jodie,

    Lovely to see you back again, we have missed you here. Silver Bella looked marvelous and I have enjoyed looking at your photos.

    Hi Barbara,

    Many thanks for visiting and yes, you would wonder if any work gets done here.

    Hi Diane,

    It would not even seem like work, being in such a wonderful place like this. I like Google too and use it a lot.

    Hi Tammy,

    I think if your work place is fun like this, the staff would be happy and enjoy what they are doing.

    Hi Diana,

    Many thanks for your visit and always great to see you.

    thank you Gwen, lovely to have a visit from you.

    Hugs

  23. Wow I really need to work there. Not that I have a chance in hell in getting a job there.. unless they want someone to take care of their plants and maybe decorate their X-mas tree:)) You know that excess kind of reminds me of where a friend of mine lost her job last year>>>AIG in Wilton,CT! Yes that AIG division. Sorry just had to say it!
    xxx....Carole
    ps.. Congrats on your 200th...had to end on a happy note!

  24. Dear Ni,

    The place is for real and not a miniature.
    Just think of the fun you could have when you work here.

    Hi Carole,

    Thanks for your visit and someone to look after the plants at the office and do all the decorating would be a neat job.
    Thanks for the happy note.

    Hugs

  34. Good morning Carolyn, so nice to see how google takes care of its family of employees... I loved the seat boat, what a great idea!!!
    Saw your last post where you got an award and I think you so deserve it for your so beautiful bears!!
    Thanks for your visit today and for your lovely comment.
    (sorry,remember I speak spanish)
    Hope you can soon have your own place for your creations and make any mess around you want.

  35. I have got it! For your 200th post celebration we ALL get a position at Google Headquarters. Makes perfect sense! We work all day at MANY types of positions AND post on our blogs... they NEED us for our wonderful input into the minds and needs of a blogger.

    Now~ what to do first once we get there... the slide or the health center!

    Hugs,
    Mary

  36. Thank you very much for your visit Jermaine, always great to hear from you.

    Hi Rosarita,

    Lovely to have a visit from you all the way from Venice, many thanks.

    thank you Suzi and I hope that you have a great weekend too.

    Thank you Carol and yes, this does look like a cool place to work.
    I imagine the staff would be much happier working here in these conditions.

    Hi Karen,

    Many thanks for your visit.
    That is interesting that both you and your husband were in this profession.

    Hi Kim,

    It would be good to sign up and have a fun job like this!

    Hi Maria Cecilia,

    thank you for visiting me today and for your kind comments.
    Your English is very good and I think that it is amazing when people can speak a lot of different
    languages. I learned French back in High School and that was fun, but I am not good at it and would like to learn again.

    Hi Mary,

    What a great idea that would be!
    I think that a massage would be a great start to the day.

    thanks, Slices of Beauty for your visit.

    Hugs

  41. thank you Ana, for visiting and I hope that you have a great weekend.

    Hi Rose,

    Yes, it would be hard going home to housework and cooking after having everything laid on here.
    thanks for visiting and your kind words.

    Many thanks Jo, great to have a visit from you.

    Thanks for visiting Peter, it would be a cool place to work.

  44. Please do not show this to my team! We're sadly lacking on the massage tables!
    Congratulations on 200 posts Carolyn, and I couldn't agree more with you as to the reasons why we blog! Amanda xx

  45. Hi Amanda,

    I do not think there would be many work places like this one and no hopefully your team will never see this.
