Heh, well the building is real, and it does contain offices. Then again, 
given that the *door handles* don't work [and you'd think it would be 
pretty much impossible to get something that trivial wrong], god only 
knows how broken the showers would be if we had some...

Actually, one of the girls brings a bag with her to work, and just 
before home time you see her toddle off to the little girls' room and 
come back looking all sporty and cute. [I probably shouldn't describe 
other people's wives that way...] Still, that's because she goes to the 
gym just *after* work.

In my case, that would probably result in a lot of stopping and not very 
much walking.

I think I might just be walking too rigidly or something... Nobody else 
has any problem with it.

I'm old. :'{

And all I can think about now is "damn, I really should have hooked up 
with a girl while I was still handsom..."
