So, the interview at the new place went well (as far as I can tell).
It's a company that makes kitchen equipment (that's probably too specific, but I do it because I love you).
The company is located in an industrial park and is part office, part warehouse. They seem to be doing well, but from the looks of the building you really wouldn't know it.
I waited in the lobby for my appointment and stared at some old posters and catalog covers of years gone by. When my interviewer greets me, he takes me through the field of cubicles.
It's not an inspiring atmosphere. It's like that 1984 apple commercial (watch it here).
I don't know who first thought of this gray cubicle idea, but I'm betting it's the same bastard that thought we should work 5 days a week and have off only 2. You want an idea for a new company? Start selling cubicles that come in more colors than just the standard Battleship Gray. It doesn't need to look like a unicorn farted rainbows in the office, but a little bit of life would improve anyone's morale.
Anyway, I sat in the conference room for more than an hour and discussed the vision of the company, my potential role, and hockey. So, all-in-all, it went well.
I should know by Friday or Monday whether or not I'll have to start coming up with all new aliases for this here blog.
Glad it went well, but did the beard come up at all? Hopefully they are an E.F.H.E. (Equal Facial Hair Employer).
