哦，是的！我收集了我去过的所有城市和机场的纪念 key！我也从我去过的城市中收集烈酒杯！我有着超过 100 个来自不同地方的烈酒杯。

Geez. 100. Any funny stories you wanna share about them? I know a friend in Germany who collects beer glasses (the big ones) that drunk people left on street curbs

天呐。100多个。关于它们有什么有趣的故事吗？我有个德国朋友收集喝多的人丢在路边的玻璃啤酒杯（大的那种）

I don't have any funny stories. But some of these are very cool. I have some made out of wood that I got from going to a famous park. I have one that I got when I was 13. It is my oldest one. I have one that is shaped like a skull. Some very tall ones, short and fat ones. All sizes and shapes. I have one that I got when I went and interviewed with Niantic for my job. Lots of stories and memories in these shot glasses.

在我身上没有过有趣的故事诶😂。不过有很酷的事情发生😜。我有一些从很出名的公园里得到的木做的酒杯。我有一个我13岁时得到的，这是我最老的一个杯子了。我有一个形状像一个头骨。一些非常高的，矮胖的。所有大小和形状。当我去和 Niantic 面试时，我也得到了一个。这些酒杯里存了我很多的故事和记忆。

Pictures?

有照片吗？

I wish I could. My phone is upstairs :(

我希望我能。 但我的手机在楼上:(

Ah, no problem. Though, now that you’ve mentioned your interview with Niantic... Here comes the juicy part! Tell us about the story of your recruitment into Niantic! What was your first reaction? Any second thoughts? Who did you tell first?

啊没问题不过, 现在你已经提到你的采访Niantic..。这是多汁的部分!告诉我们关于你招募到奈安蒂克的故事!你的第一反应是什么？有什么想法吗？你先告诉谁的

I applied for the job like a lot of people did. I wasn't really looking for a new job. I had a great career and job that I was very happy with. However, my wife suggested I apply because I was spending all of my free time (when I was not with the family) playing Ingress. Her thought was, it seems like I had two jobs. So why not just get one that I would get paid for instead of having two and only getting paid for one. It was a long process. It took several months. But ultimately they made me an offer in December of 2015. I accepted and I started January of 2016. It was very hard to keep it a secret. There was an Anomaly in Oakland that I went to. I could not tell anyone and I'm bad at lying. I'm surprised I was able to keep it a secret for as long as I did. The interview process was pretty straight forward. I had a couple of phone interivews then a bunch of in-person interviews that I had to fly to San Francisco for. I don't have any regrets. I love love love love what I do. I remember where I was when I got the offer. I was actually doing a Mission with some friends on the Berkley, California university campus and I had to step away from them to take the phone call. It was awakward. I think they knew something was going on.

我像很多人一样申请这项工作。我当时并没有在找一份新工作，因为我本来的工作就很好了，我也很喜欢。不过，是我的妻子建议我去申请的，因为我花了我所有的空闲时间（当我不在家里）玩Ingress。她的想法是，我好像有两份工作，但是只有一份给钱。那么与其打“两份工”，不如真的打两份工。这是一个漫长的过程。花了几个月时间。最终他们在2015年12月向我发了offer，我接受了，从2016年1月开始这份工作。保守秘密对于我来说非常困难。我当时去了奥克兰一个 Anomaly，但不能告诉任何人。我真的不太会说谎，但是我很惊讶我竟然能保守秘密这么久！面试过程非常简单。有几个电话面试，然后一堆面对面的访谈，我不得不飞往旧金山去面试。我没有任何遗憾，我真的真的很爱我所做的事情。我还记得当我收到 offer 的时候我在哪里——我当时正跟一些朋友在加州伯克利大学做一个任务，不得不离开他们接电话。很尴尬。我觉得他们发现了我的小秘密。

Ah, we see your Berkeley banner! I don’t know if you know about Doctor Who, but I guess it must be like being chosen for the next Doctor and couldn’t tell anyone XD

啊，我们看到了你的伯克利任务拼图了呢！我不知道你是否知道神秘博士，但我想你得到offer的感觉就跟被选为扮演下一任博士却不能告诉任何人一样吧XDD

In some ways yes.

在某些方面是的

So is your game/work balance problem solved now? How do you split your time between your job and everyday gameplay these days? Is there time when you have to choose between, say, your job and your faction?

那么你的游戏/工作平衡问题现在解决了吗？这些天你是如何分割你的工作和日常游戏之间的时间的？是否有时间在你的工作和派系之间做出选择

It’s wonderful that you love what you do and get paid for that! But I got to ask, what is the job of a global community manager like exactly? It would be nice for example if you could describe a typical work day...

你在做着你喜欢做的事情并且可以得到报酬，这真是太好了！但是我必须问，一个全球社群管理者的工作到底是什么？例如，如果你能描述在一个工作日中你一天都做了什么，那就太好了！
