Every spring Google encourages all Googlers to help improve our communities by spending a day working at a local organization. This year the Lenoir office spent the day helping to improve a local low-cost health clinic called Helping Hands.
A lot of jobs were performed: painting, cleaning up vines growing along the side of the building, assisting in disposal of old medication, and replacing some ceiling tiles damaged during a recent storm.
In the morning I pulled some paint duty and slung some pigmentation onto the walls (and a little onto myself). After lunch I helped dispose of some old medication. This is done by removing the pills from the packaging, throwing out the containers, and sending the pills to a disposal service. This is the only time where I got to "pop pills" at work. (These off-sites are becoming fun as the last one involved me leaving in the back of a police car).
It is a great way to spend a day. I'll leave you with some more scenes from GoogleServe 2013: Helping Hands Edition:
