Could be fun! Entered the bldg 7:59am, walked up two flights of stairs. Greeted reception staff. Took off my coat. Walked 44 steps to the coffee machine. Held a startup meeting with colleagues. Discussed weather, SNL, and where to go for lunch. Walked 44 steps to desk . Logged on, etc.

Don't ask FEMA for help when the next hurricane hits.

This isn't Rocky Horror...
