Cool that you worked nearby, who were you with?
I worked with a dot-com; we did advertising stuff.
We moved out of our hip SoMa digs into the Chevron Bldg. (575 Market) at exactly, precisely, the wrong moment in time. The internet bubble was collapsing around us. The reason for leaving SoMa was we had outgrown the space, but by the time the buildout was done and the die was cast, we were too small for the old space. So instead our little group took up about 20% of one floor, the rest all empty cubicles.
Near the end, when there were just a few of us left, we'd play wiffleball in the open spaces. At the bitter end, I was the last person left in my group, just winding down accounts. I was the ONLY person on the entire floor for about 4 months. I could literally take my pants off and jerk it to internet porn in the office. I could have walked around nude all day and nobody would have known. Had they known I'm not sure anyone would have given a shit. I didn't even have a boss, everyone had been canned.
Good times. Big fat ass burritos were awesome then.
You're right though, everything around there seems calibrated to humongo portions.
