LA Office

Had a fight in the office

This is what happened.

Jan Martens, my cousin arrived in Los Angeles.

Because it was a long trip for him as well,
we planned on having a relaxed day.

First we went to my workplace,
so they could meet my colleagues and see where I work.

But from the moment we entered the floor,
Jan wanted to fight me.

After he won fighting with the Rock ’em Sock ’em Robots,
they found other things to play with, a soccer table, the game room, a ping pong table, …

But they had the most fun,
spinning around in the lounge chairs.

Lunchtime, Chick-Fil-A

Lunchtime again 🙂

Some people of the office suggested to go to Chick-Fil-A.
When I asked what it was they told me, it would be the best chicken burger you can get, in a fast food restaurant.
So I joined them, because I wanted to try it out.

It was unbelievable crowded inside, but also in the drive-in.
I’m starting to believe it has to be a great chain for chicken burgers.

After one bite, I was convinced.

Even for a fast food restaurant, they had quiet tasty chicken burgers.

Today the sales-team went to Venice, for Lunch, at the Wurstkuche.

The lunch, was a gift from the company, because we were preforming at top level :).

Wurstkuche is known for their exotic sausages sandwiches, with “Belgian Fries” and a lot of imported beers.
So we were in for a treat!

Here we are, on our way to the restaurant.

Renovations in the LA office.

yannickmartens Leave a comment

The LA office of DQNA/Adsimilis recently moved to a new office space.
But there was still a lot of work that had to be done.

For instance, rearranging the office spaces.

I was working in a small office, together with the head of sales.
But the rest of the sales team sat in an office next to ours, but luckily it was only a temporally solution.

So they asked me to pack my stuff and work from home during the constructions.

Here’s my setup from a day I worked from home.

We even had our normal sales meetings, but now through Skype.

Here’s the new setup, much better!!
It feels more spacious and we have more interaction with each other.

The next room to remodel was the office of the Internal Media Buyers and their managers.

Here’s a picture of the room when it was still under construction.

Became a member of LA fitness

yannickmartens Leave a comment

Most of the residents of Los Angeles, especially those who live on the seaside are in a health- and gym mentality.

Even the company promotes a good and healthy lifestyle.
That’s why the office invited a representative from LA Fitness, to sign up all the employees.
Of course only for those who want to go to the gym, but they give the employees the opportunity to go to the gym at the expense of the company.

So I thought why not and signed up.

Let the “healthier” lifestyle begin.
