Experiences at MyNewPlace

Well, the MyNewPlace blog of course!

I'm in a cubicle. There are 4 walls and a little opening to the hallway of other cubicles. I can see Rob and his cubicle from where I am. That's kind of cool. haha. Most of the time I'm just looking at my computer screen anyways, so it's all good.

The Kitchen/Server Room is your friend. It gets hot sometimes, so if that happens, just take your laptop to the kitchen where it's a lot cooler for the servers...but that doesn't mean you can't go there!

I learned a lot about startups, and just all the type of work that goes into building a company from the ground up.

1) chinatown - because there's all kinds of great cheap stuff
2) Montgomery Bart Station - If you need to go home
3) Transbay Bus Station - Same as #2
4) Starbucks - Coffee is useful
5) Working Girls - the favorite eating place of many MyNewPlace employees

I commute from Berkeley to SF. So I get to work around 8:40ish and I work until 5:30. Of course, we all eat cereal for breakfast at work. And we all love to eat. Eating is great. So besides working, the kitchen is frequently visited.

I did data entry for a while. Inputting phone numbers made me pretty good with the NumPad

It's a startup, so that's unique. It's relatively small, but definitely growing. it's really exciting like many other dotcoms and startups. And of course, the perks: such as a fully stocked kitchen with so much junkfood and drinks you'll most likely gain some weight after a few months, and also 2 free meals a week =)...

Well, I actually came to my interview a day early. haha!

It's pretty relaxed. I mean, Shane doesn't look that scary =).
