Hmmmm...well, I guess nice furnishings can almost make up for the fact
that the building is a piece of crap.
As far as your co-workers staring at you blankly at the name Herman

story residential neighborhood, and where our esteemed Gov says "Picasso
is terrible. He ain't (sic) art." Just so long as dem Vikes keep
winnin', who cares about the quality of the environment around us!
*sigh* and it used to be such a nice place to live....
