A day at WaniKani

@CyrusS @koichi
I wanted to start this topic just to learn about what a day working at Tofugu looks like. I’m sure a few of us are curious about this, so it would be nice if you’d be willing to share your day-to-day and overall experience.

Thanks!

Throwing the extra money at @Vanilla

Researching new avenues of @Vanilla favouritism.

Well, I’m actually a remote-worker, so my answer probably isn’t the interesting one you’re looking for. My day is mostly just sitting at my computer, answering emails, and counting poll threads (^_~).

When are you hitting level 4?

CyrusS · May 9, 2018, 5:23pm

This time next year. It’s 1 year = 1 level, right?

Borx · May 9, 2018, 5:24pm

I look forward to seeing you at level 60 in 57 years!

Cassykins · May 9, 2018, 5:25pm

Are you looking for an assistant? I also like sitting at a computer and counting poll threads!

VegasVed · May 9, 2018, 5:25pm

Would it be intrusive of me to ask where you work from?

Chiv · May 9, 2018, 5:27pm

The chair,probaly. Or maybe the bed is the prefered work place.

If you meant more geographically, I’m on the US East Coast.

No wonder they so fit.

koichi · May 9, 2018, 8:31pm

plantron pretty much nailed our schedule

koichi · May 9, 2018, 8:33pm

Unfortunately, I think you’ll all be pretty disappointed. We mostly just show up and try to get work done, forum fires permitting

I’d say it’s a moderately normal office, with a bend towards “flexible about most things, as long as you get your work done.”

viet · May 9, 2018, 8:38pm

We have an anthem for our daily stand up meetings.

shadykit · May 9, 2018, 9:25pm

Sooo… scrum?

VegasVed · May 9, 2018, 9:42pm

Well that blows. I was expecting a daily crab fight with the whole office crowding around and laying bets.

hachiken · May 9, 2018, 10:02pm

Yes, I always imagined things differently…
