It was Nov. 7 this year and drat my kids missed it ( though they don't work for Google or LinkedIn). My employer , when I worked, never had bring your kid to work day so they never got to see what I did.
Now they are working and I really don't know that much of what they do. I know that they like it, are very good at it and it supports the family.
Anyhow here is a link:

We are Villagers and parents of a LinkedIn employee who were lucky enough to attend Take Your Parents to Work Day in NYC. Educational and wonderful to see a company that realizes that its employees are its most valuable asset.

This is a great idea. My mother, sister and I all worked for NY Telephone Co. They worked in Operator Services, I started there and transferred to Commercial (the business office). Mom would have been interested to see what my job demanded. I would tell her, but seeing is better. By the way, we all retired from the same Company, but under different branding. Mom from NYT, sis from Bell Atlantic and I from Verizon.

My daughter is an Educational Technology Specialist (big title, huh?) for a 9 building school district on LI. All that means is that she teaches Teachers how to use all the new technology available to them in their classroom and integrate it with her/his lessons. I've seen what she does and as always, I'm proud of her and the good work ethic she has. That makes both of us happy.
