HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER


How I Met Your Mother is a sitcom which has been broadcasted in an USA channel CBS since 19th September 2005, created and produced by Carter Bays and Craig Thomas. The main character of the series is Ted Mosby. In the beginning of the series Ted starts to tell his children how he met their mother and the series returns to the year of 2005. Each episode Ted talks about a woman he went out and his children listen to him every time as if the woman he mentions is their mother. Although there have been 7 seasons so far, the children’s mother hasn’t been known yetJ

I think the most attractive side of this sitcom is that: The idea of ‘Let’s write about our friends and stupid things we did in New York’ was Bays and Thomas’ idea while they were producing How I Met Your Mother. They inspired from their friendship when they created the characters:  Bays mostly stands out with the Ted-character, while the characters of Marshall and Lily are inspired from Thomas and his wife. Rebecca, the wife of Thomas, was sticky about creating a character inspired from herself and she would give permission on the condition that: Alyson Hannigan would personate her. Luckily, Hannigan was convenient and much willing to take place in sitcoms.

Another interesting point is that: MacLaren’s, one of the places used in HIMYM, was created and inspired from a pub, named as McGee’s, which Bays and Thomas love so much and want to take place in the serials. Furthermore, pub was named by the assistant of Bays, Carl MacLaren (he also gives his name to one of the workers in the pub).

I really watch HIMYM with a good grace, especially I love watching the character Barney. He is so entertaining and charming that I cannot help laughing while watching him. Here is one of my favourites of Barney, enjoy it :)

WHAT A HAPPY WORKERS!


 About two days ago I came across an article while reading a magazine and it really attracted my attention. It was about the opportunities for the ones who work for Google. The employers think so: the more comfortable and happy the workers are, the higher the incomes are. Here are some examples:

  • Workers have an opportunity to sleep whenever they like.
  • Nobody in the center put on a tie- even there are ones who go to work with their pajamas.  
  • There is so much in the way of entertainment in the area of Googleplex- such as volleyball courts, billiard tables… Workers can make good use of those opportunities whenever they want in overtime period.
  •  Google doesn’t forget its workers’ health. Workers may do exercises in fitness centers anytime in a day and there are 5 doctors ready for any health risk. Google also offers its workers free check-up service.
  • Google allows 10.000 persons the opportunity of work and the ones who work in its head office can have their lunch in any of the 15 cafeterias. All the fresh juices, chocolates and beverages are free in cafeterias.
  • Workers can bring their dogs to their work places and play with them in their offices; but there is just one condition of Google: dogs aren’t supposed to ‘urinate’ inside the offices:D
