Ice Cream, Peach Sobe!
SWE • Current Employee
Seattle, Washington, United States
October 30, 2019
Pros: Great managers. There was a firm alarm that went off today. Guess what? We got three kinds of ice cream. The peach Sobie is the best, but I did not bring it to my girlfriend because I am driving a motorcycle, so I couldn't. I should do that.
Cons: It is in Seattle. Seattle is a rainy city and very low pressure. Why is it rainy all the time? I don't know. Can it stop raining? Thanks, God.
