Geektopia at Work

Working in a small but well-known dot-com has its advantages.

For one, I have the option to skip breakfast if I’m running late because there’s always free oatmeal:

Quaker Oats -mmm.... warm and delicious

For another, there is ample supply of free non-alcoholics:

Warriors in the great battle of our age ... Coke vs. Pepsi

Specifically, my favorite:

The Dr recommends one at 10, 2 and 4.

And for those cold train rides home, a lovely gal from Switzerland will warm you right up:

She'll get you hot!

All of this is located in my lunchroom. Imagine my surprise when I entered it yesterday to find a new guest had joined us all for lunch!

It isn't this blurry in real life, but this accurately reflects the colors. Stupid cellphone camera.

If you can’t make that out through the blurriness, it is a MAME machine. Chock full of arcade games dating back to 1976. Three sets of controls though … One set short for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2! Oh the Terrapinanity! I was never an Arcadian, but I love not having to spend quarters on it

The MAME Game!

I may be skipping lunch the next couple of days after the holiday! Hey! I have something new to be thankful for!
