Board Game Room
I'm in a fairly small room - maybe 10x10. Every wall has shelves, and the shelves are completely packed with all sorts of different board games. Many of the board game boxes are gigantic. One of them catches my eye; the front of the box is probably 2x3; I can't see how deep it is. The primary color of the box is red. It's advertising its complex gameplay with over 2 square miles of in-game terrain, and it's also talking about the great competitions that are held for it, that one out of every 7 players is able to compete.


Problem Solving
I'm at work, in my cube - except the cube is huge, probably 15x15. The walls are dark grey, like they really are. It's completely bare except for a shelf running around near the top that has some random stuff on it.
I'm slowly walking around, trying to solve a problem. I know one of our other products - the M - has solved it in the past with an XML converter. I can't quite remember what they did or what they were actually converting. The best I can come up with is that they were translating elements into attributes or vice-versa.

Now I'm on a conference call, wearing a phone headset. One of the guys on the call is talking about how much he loves his commute - it's only an hour and a half each way, and he's being completely serious.
