I liked the story very much. The wife works as a receptionist in one of those places and from what she tells me it sounds as if you have the "third floor" pegged.
Autobiographical?...Remind me to let you always be the leader.

Nicely done...congratulations.
Thanks. My most autobiographical story.
Wonderful. Wonderful. And I agree with Sandra that's a great final line.

Working there must be quite a challenge. Visiting is difficult enough. Of course, living there is the worst.
Very, very strong stuff.
Thanks, Paul. It's something we all must face and do it with dread.
