If only there was some kind of system for sharing time in these apartments so that everyone got a chance to stay there and folks made money doing it. -- nm - Mop Jan 22, 08:24
my boss' which is in a big fancy building, and is huge and beautiful never gets used. ever. -- nm - Andie Jan 22, 08:11 14

  - i actually don't even know if it's currently furnished. they are talking about renos - it might be actually literally empty. -- nm - Andie Jan 22, 08:13 12
    - Why furnish it if it never gets used? -- nm - Spawn Jan 22, 08:18 10
      - you might want to stay there at some point. -- nm - znufrii Jan 22, 08:25 4
        
        She said "ever". -- nm - Spawn Jan 22, 08:28 3
        
        and I said "might" -- nm - znufrii Jan 22, 08:30 2
        
        "ever" trumps "might". - Spawn Jan 22, 08:32 1
        
        no it doesn't... - znufrii Jan 22, 08:33
      - if you've got more money that you know what to do with it, why not? -- nm - decline Jan 22, 08:19 4
        
        Because if I had that kind of money I could find far better things to do withmy time. -- nm - Spawn Jan 22, 08:24 3
        
        *they* wouldn't do the work. You call a designer, have a meeting or three, and they do it. -- nm - Andie Jan 22, 08:26 2
        
        A meeting or two? No thanks. I could watch hours of ballot counting instead! -- nm - Spawn Jan 22, 08:27 1
        
        well, if that's the alternative option, why would you ever do anything else? -- nm - Andie Jan 22, 08:29
    - Get the keys! We'll bring sleeping bags. -- nm - Covington Jan 22, 08:17
