I'm interested to hear what you think of it, shrift.

To my surprise, I actually liked it. My team of four got a puzzle room where we had to recover a stolen Mona Lisa, and I do like me some puzzles. Their theory behind it is they wanted to do a real world version of games like Myst. The other group got the Escape from Alcatraz room where they actually handcuffed you.

Didn't hate it, would recommend if you like adventure games, don't hate your coworkers, and don't have claustrophobia.

That would be fun with my team from work, I'm surrounded by gamers.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I was going to post that I went to the Pipeline a few times when I was in Cincinnati for grad school, but I never did go down to the Manhole.

You never penetrated their private circle?

I did one of those escape the room things with my coworkers last month. As team building things go it was pretty fun. Way better than a ropes course. Ours was 90s themed, and we had to use clues in various 90s things (video tapes, concert stubs for Chumbawumba, etc.) to crack the code.

Puzzles definitely sound more fun than handcuffs to me. Ymmv, obviously. Thanks for the report, shrift! And Calli!

I hear escape the room and think of the first one of those I heard about, which had s zombie in chains in the corner who would eventually escape, giving an element of time pressure to the escape, and that sounds like too much stress to be fun.

Not that I likely have one of these in my near future, but you never know.

I am at the shuttle stop early because this thing isn't leaving without me this time. Not when I got up at 4:30 to make my 7am meeting.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

YIKES.

I wore a jacket today because it is November, not because I needed it. I understand this weather is objectively beautiful, but I don't care for it!

That certainly seems like it ought to be early enough.

I turned on the heater in my bathroom this morning.

Just had a nice bitch session with a coworker. Sometimes that is what you need! Because this place is crazy. Oh well.

I can't really hit the snooze button because I'll miss the only shuttle that theoretically will get me to the office on time if I dawdle.

I also get to go through my performance review today.
