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..."
