3. When I first started at Google, my main job was to wait for the UPS man. My dad and I were pretty much the only ones who showed up before 11AM, so we became the de facto receptionists for a while.

When we moved to Mountain View in the summer of 1999, I switched to full-time. I interviewed a lot of people. Fewer of them were online back then, though of course it's hard to tell sometimes. Eventually, I returned to part-time consulting and spent a lot of time watching ducks in a pond near our office. Fascinating, but ultimately unfulfilling.

Now my office is on the third floor. I take the elevator these days, since I injured my right leg last year. There are more like me at Google now, but many of them are very small compare to me. When I stands outside the Google cafe, I love getting attention from all the passers-by. They even know my name! And there's barbecue on the patio every day during the summer. Life is good.

WHO???

“YOSHKA” the Google dog
