Excuse Me, Why Are We Not Included in Any of The “Coolest Offices in SF” Lists?

We weren't included in any of them… which is weird because our apartment office is the definition of cool. Now, I don't expect you to believe me ...

This is bullshit.

Excuse Me, Why Are We Not Included in Any of The “Coolest Offices in SF” Lists?

I just finished looking through way too many lists online (BuzzFeed, what have you done?) ranking the “coolest” offices in San Francisco.

We weren’t included in any of them… which is weird because our apartment office is the definition of cool.

Now, I don’t expect you to believe me. People lie on the internet all the time.

So, I decided to prove it to you.

First, I went and found the coolest pictures of the (supposedly) coolest offices in the entire United States. I was feeling confident, so keeping it San Francisco-only didn’t feel like a big enough challenge.

Then, I took some pictures of our office to compare our cool stuff to theirs.

And finally, I wrote the article you’re about to read. Enjoy.
