The tender sale was bizarre, all these huge empty server rooms, with a few racks in some, and some piles of furniture and other office stuff in others. I put low bids on an Aeron chair, a desk lamp, a rather nice atlas clock, and a pile of coffee percolaters and cups. Oh, and a binding machine. I'm not sure if I'll get any of them, but no harm done if I don't. Dave and I climbed up the engineering stairs to the roof at one point - since there were actually lots up there, air con units and a satellite dish - but really to look at the view. Coming down, however, we discovered that the engineering stairs, which was grand coming up since we were looking up, was made of a solid wire grid, and you could see straight through it to the concrete floor three stories below. Cue the worst vertigo I've ever had while still being completely safe - there was nowhere to fall. After that, I spent a while remembering that Worldport is impossible to get out of. Took hours.
