Visiting client offices is usually a painful exercise, given travel and security.

But there are some small things that make your day. Like the Mentos at the reception. Or the unsecured WiFi. Or the delightful view of the city from a skyscraper.

Today, it was the noble admin person who placed the power sockets ON TOP OF the desks, so I don't have to bend below the desk or dig into a hole to get connected.
