And so it begins ....

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.

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.

It's interesting--one of the things people seem worried about for me is long hours, but the people I know in the Boston office are pretty solid close to 40/week folks. I think it has to do with average ages in the different places. But if you're not talking about hours, yeah, I expect to be pushed hard, and I expect to enjoy it a lot :-}.
