A Nice Surprise

Last Tuesday I was stuck in my boringly meaningless weekly meeting that rehashes the contents of this work flow database that my colleagues and I update on a daily basis. However, because same the idiotic powers-that-be who requires our presence at this pointless meeting forgot to reserve our usual conference room we were sent off to the other side of the floor in search of an unused meeting space. After one or two abortive attempts we were successful in usurping this room that was a third of the size of our usual conference room. We were a bit cramped to say the least. However, unlike our usual meeting space this one was a corner room and therefore had humongous office windows serving as two of the four walls. As we shuffled in I managed to grab a seat at the far end of the conference table by one of the two windowed walls. As the powers-that-be droned on I happened to look out the window to pass the time, and goodness what did I see:



After some researching I found that this fantastic building was 20 Exchange Place. It used to be The City Bank Farmers Trust Building, and unfortunately will soon become William Beaver House -- housing that's aimed at the NC-17 crowd.
