Change in culture
So, I think I’ve mentioned I started a new job a few weeks ago. Thought I’d mention an interesting culture shift I’ve seen… I’ve mentioned that I’m running at lunch now. Most of my office does some sort of exercise at lunchtime. For most of them, bicycling is the sweat-dripper of choice. These guys go out for 16 mile rides, and then come back and sling code with the best of ‘em.
At my previous gig, lunchtime meant walking to a great restaurant in Bethesda and having interesting conversations. Here, it means dripping with sweat and comparing stories as to great hills conquered or sports jelly beans (I want to get me some of those!). Gotta admit, this way is cheaper, and might even lose me a few pounds in the meantime.
