Microspotting

So it's been at least a whole week since I preached the gospel that is my employer which must mean it's about time to hit you guys up with another session...

One of the first people I met at orientation was a guy I sat next to named Tom (who happens to have been born and raised in Atlanta - bonus!) and when we were talking about what we were hired to do here at MS, he said he writes games and was going into the Entertainment and Devices group. Perfectly normal, right? Yeah...except he doesn't know anything about programming. Huh? Turns out he's really a drama/film major - a pen and paper type-writer hired to write the stories, dialog, etc. for games. How cool is that??

Since then I've learned there are a lot of different jobs at Microsoft that I wouldn't have thought of before coming here (it was super weird seeing an apple laptop on my MS bus until I realized we have people here who work on MS products built for macs...). Well another super cool job is this girl named Ariel - she is a journalist hired by MS to write about what it's really like to work here.

It's a very entertaining blog and it gives you a glimpse of all the different type of people who work here - some of them the typical geeks you'd think of - and some of them you'd never in a million years think would work at "the evil empire"...

So take a look and you'll get to see the type of people I get to work with! :) http://www.microspotting.com/
