And so it begins ....

[randysmith]

I've just accepted an offer with Google. I'm both excited and scared; this is going to be different than places I've worked in before. And, of course, it's full time work after several years of part time and six months off. But it's going to be interesting.

HURRAH! Congratulations!

FABULOUS! I hope you'll find challenges and be doing work that matters to you, with folks you like. At least this, but hoping for much more.

We should celebrate! Ping me for available times to go out for coffee if you're interested! I'd love to hear more.

Congrats, even though it'll make having lunch together even harder. When do you start?

On this coast, they work people *hard*, but I've never really heard anyone complain the way they do at other companies. They appreciate and honor their workers or something.

Ooh, congratulations! When do you start, and can you say what you'll be doing?

Congratulations! I'm envious, though I wouldn't be willing to leave Austin even if they did offer me something.

If I ever do try again, can I drop your name? ;-)

Woohoo! Congratulations!

Oh dude! Congratulations! I know a couple of people who work for Google, and while one of them is getting tired of it (I don't even know how many years he's been there), the other seems to be just as happy as when he started.

Congratulations! I hope it's everything you want it to be. :)

Congratulations, Randy! That's completely awesome. I hope it's fulfilling and challenging and pays you ridiculously well for your big brain. :)

Condolences! Congratulations! Interesting, for sure. Also, demonstrably close enough to sailboats to use same over lunch.

[keyne.livejournal.com]

Woohoo! If I'd known, I'd have given you extra hugs :-)

[damselfrog.livejournal.com]

YAY!!!!!!!!

[pumpkin-pi.livejournal.com]

YAY!1!1!1! Congrats!!! Just remember, it usually takes a good 6 months before a new hire actually feels like they know what in the heck they're supposed to be doing. :)
