The Off Topic Topic

[Josquius]

Why do you have to change it every day?

Moving between my computer table and bed,

[mongers]

I don't get it. 

A good portion of ads for Manhattan Mini-Storage have a loose connection.
......

So along the lines of:

Time to get an oil change, you never know when an new eschatological religious movement will sweep the globe.

Moving between my computer table and bed,

Ah, of course.

Why do you have to change it every day?

Moving between my computer table and bed,

Why does that mean you have to change the screen resolution?

My monitor is a long way from my bed. I don't like squinting.

No?

Which mountains?

[Ideologue]

Appalachians.

It rained most of the time so very little actual mountain activities were involved, unless "sitting in a mansion with no Internet, no TV, and apparently no heat" counts.  When it got down to a light mist, I walked down and back up part of the mountain to avoid talking to people for the thirteenth straight hour.

You would probably have skipped around me laughing like a smug, anthropomorphized mountain goat.

[CountDeMoney]

I don't get it. 

The French aristocracy didn't know they were going to lose all their possessions when things went tits up;  so wouldn't it be wise to have a chance to put it all in storage before it happens to you?

Damn, no wonder advertising is so "lowest common denominator" now.   

[Admiral Yi]

It appears the common motif is Bill Maher style  punch lines unrelated to the service.

[CountDeMoney]

I dunno, the "Gay Clutter" was very relevant for convenient storage solutions at affordable, accessible prices.

If you want to go back some weekend, look me up. I'm always up for the mountains.

We recently had some dude from Ireland come to work with us for a few weeks. Our office is in downtown Atlanta. He stayed a good distance from downtown in a W hotel in Buckhead. There is a W much closer. I thought it was odd. I asked him why he was staying in Buckhead. He said that is where he was told to book, he wasn't sure why. Pondering it, I realized it must because of safety, and I pressed him on this until he admitted he was told to stay in Buckhead because of safety concerns.

One of the things I've had drilled into my head: when traveling for work, if there are safety concerns where you are going, be very sensitive about mentioning it to the people at the location. It is sort of weird to be on the flip side of this, to see that travelers see the safety where I live as a risk to be mitigated like in a third world country.
