The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I spent about 110 days of my life working 24/7 ops in the White House.

The idea of broken windows and dirt in there is rather absurd. Now, deep in the basement of the EEOB (the big building just west of the White House) some of the comms guys had a little office and there would be a rat here and there. I once came home after a 72 or 96 hour shift (yes, we got to sleep at night) and there was a mouse that made its way into my backpack and didn't emerge and met his demise in there.

But my little room was in the basement too. Things work their way in. Rodents. Sometimes ones that walk on two feet.
