Adrian came down from Foster City to have lunch with Ty and I in Mountain View. I spent the first half of the day in San Bruno for my first day of training for YouTube.
We had some some good convo, gave him a tour and he got to see just how different Google culture is in comparison to Visa and Goldman Sachs.
The really funny moment was the ending. As we took Adrian to his car, we were approached by a man with an accent. Oh yes... an accent from Holland! Why you ask? He flew from Europe to hand in his resume to Tech Companies in hopes of landing an internship to get US working experience.
Ty was really nice about it and offered to pass it to HR. He felt he had to represent the company in a Googley way without overpromissing him anything. In reality, he probably should have just applied at google.com/jobs.
