The CTO kayaks in to work.

The break room has a foosball table

The dress code is, and I quote: "No visible genitalia".

I think I like this place.

Also, here's [livejournal.com profile] mhoye's latest find:

So where the hell is this and what kind of work is it? 50 hour weeks? I assume Florida - since that's where you lived last I checked. (as do I)

I'm Canadian. I live in Ottawa, Ontario, not anywhere in Florida.

And I really am not going to be putting any details of my work on livejournal, sorry, beyond saying that I'm the new IT Ninja at a small tech company, and my job is to make all the tech-y bits work according to The Plan.

Sorry, thought I had looked you up one time and found you in Florida. Boy was I off - by about 1700 + miles. Sorry. No - I didn't really expect explicit details. I was guessing IT, that's why I said 50 hour work weeks. Most places with great bennies and good break areas have to have it because of the long work hours. But if you're young and love your job, you can do that. I'm old and no longer healthy, I can't do the long hours anymore.

Congratulations on finding the time machine to 1999, apparently.

(Just kidding. Real congratulations on your real, new job. And that picture doth rock most mightily.)

A time machine to 1999 *where I get to keep my current computer technology*.

Fuckin' A!

Congrats. The CTO is going to be screwed in late fall/early spring, though, isn't he? It has to be hard to kayak through slush you can't skate on (yet/any more).

You can't skate on the Ottawa River, regardless, and I don't think it ever totally freezes - but I'm pretty sure he owns a car if the weather is not suited to kayaking.

Ah, my mistake, I figured it was the Rideau Canal.
