Really well written...an interesting read.

On this though: "On my last day, my team got me some cake and gave me some very sweet farewell gifts, such as the potato below."

What's with the potato? Is that some inside joke at Google?

No it was more a joke between me and a colleague, because even though we got gourmet food three times a day he would just eat potatoes and eggs all the time

I think potatoes are just a joke in general. They're just... there.

I think this is why Dwight Schrute owned a beet farm, also. He could have farmed anything, but beets are just inherently funnier than wheat or soybeans.
