About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the loading dock—a small wooden box wrapped in brown paper with no label or markings. Puzzled, he set it aside and continued his work. Later that day, another employee found an identical package next to the coffee machine. Curious, they opened it to discover a note reading: 'For your health—Texas Instruments.' Inside was a bag of freshly baked cookies. Since then, whenever someone delivers something strange, everyone jokes it's TI's secret recipe for morale boosting!'
2. In the quiet hallway of Occupational and Family Health Center at Texas Instruments, a delivery driver once asked aloud: ‘Who’s been using our coffee machine?’ For weeks, someone had been leaving behind an empty mug with no name tag—and always the same flavor.’ Finally, one morning, a familiar face appeared in the mug—a doodled caricature of the office cat, Mister Whiskers. The delivery driver grinned, realizing that it was none other than their friendly neighborhood janitor who enjoyed a daily cup of joe before his shift.
3. One day, a curious neighbor asked: ‘Why does that doctor’s office always have so many boxes leaving after dark?’ The doctor explained with a smile, 'Those are just our secret recipe vitamins for superhuman engineers!' The neighbor nodded knowingly and never mentioned it again—until he saw a delivery driver leave with an extra large box marked 'Top Secret: Employee Stress Relief.'
4. At dawn, when most people were still asleep, an early bird jogger noticed something peculiar near the entrance of Occupational and Family Health Center at Texas Instruments—an old-fashioned wind-up alarm clock seemed to be ticking away in the empty parking lot. Curious, she bent down to pick it up—it was frozen solid but still chimed softly. Just then, a sleepy security guard appeared, rubbing his eyes and asking if everything was okay. Turns out, the alarm clock belonged to a delivery driver who’d left it there during his night shift. Everyone had a good laugh over breakfast that morning.
