While driving to the building for tour day, Apple Maps gave me the wrong directions. I had to self-navigate my way there, which made me a little bit late. The initial frustration soon wore off after I saw how cool the inside of the building looked.
The open floor space really stood out to me, and I liked that everyone’s cubicle was uniquely decorated! I also liked that there was a lot of unoccupied space as well to keep room for growth. I thought that was very nice, and I’m glad that’s something that the company considers.
I loved that there were plenty of break/rest areas. All of what they did on the inside made it feel more comfortable/home-y if that makes sense. It gets rid of the dry/dull 9-5 feeling. I obviously have to mention the slide. I loved it. If I worked there, I’d find a reason to go down the slide every single day. Speaking of, I could see myself working there one day! I loved the work environment, and I’m definitely considering applying for the creative web position once graduation gets a little closer!
I was surprised to hear that they do more than just basic web design for car retailers as well! Building websites for small business and other branding/design projects were something I would not have expected. The work that they do is definitely more than I initially thought, and I’m pleasantly surprised!
I’ve also been getting more and more interested in my book! I finally finished the first part (which ended with Emma throwing her wedding bouquet in the fireplace). Emma is also pregnant, and her unhappiness with her marriage/life is making her physically ill. I know this sounds a little morbid, but I’m excited to read more on her slow progression into insanity. After doing a little more research on the book, Emma eventually has an affair and commits suicide (I can’t remember if I mentioned either of these things in an earlier post).
Now that I know what happens later in the book, I want to read it quicker and watch everything unfold!
