Filming
The big thing in office this week is filming. There is a big sign outside the office building telling us that we should remain silent because of filming. Also, we could be in camera in the building and when it happens we should not look right at the camera. I guess it makes sense to do this here more than in the headquarter in Bay Area, since we have more filming talents (and probably out of work until recently) in LA.
Why filming in the office? They are probably doing some web videos to promote our products. And they seem to think what it takes is some nerdy actors walking around our office building talking with other less nerdy supposedly engineers. And what's the best to mock an office environment than, er..., a real office environment?
Which means that for the last few days, I have been trying to avoid any filming area, to avoid becoming a moving filming background. This has been difficult, since they constantly roam around lobby area. Like yesterday when I left, I had to avoid taking the stairs. They are taking away my only exercise at work!
