Contrary to common perception, the Call Building still stands, now called Central Tower, a name as nondescript as the building. After purchasing the Call Building, Albert Roller learned that the structure could easily support six full stories above the fifteenth floor. He demolished the “uneconomical” baroque dome in 1937, replacing it with a new structure in the moderne style we now call Art Deco, modifying the entrance, lobby, and elevators with the classic art deco adornments and initiating our building into the modern age of Metropolis. The current structure is a treasure to aficionados of that style, but the city lost sight of one of its most recognizable landmarks.
Spent most of today watching The Last of Us playthroughs, after briefly committing customs fraud this morning. Spending an hour at the gym everyday is not eventful enough to justify the passing of a day, I don't think. I'll be so happy when I go back to work, or pick up a hobby.
Hello [chat], I have returned! I closed the kitchen, which is a very rare occurrence! I wasn't meant to, but we close early Monday-Wednesday anyway, so I thought I'd be nice and kick all my cooks out early, and close the place myself.

Also I'm very excited for the next few weeks (and weekends, particularly)
- My kettlebell class starts soon
- My mom's surprise party for her 50th birthday is this Saturday
- The July 1st long weekend is gonna be crazy + fun at work!
- I have plans to meet up with some old friends I haven't seen in a long time
So all in all, yay.
How're you doing, [chat]folk?
Terribly

- Life is terrible
- Everything is terrible
Feral, do they skip labeling the 13th floor in that building?
No. I haven't seen a single building in the SF area that does that.
Interesting. I don't go into tall buildings with any regularity, so I'm curious when they do. Last one I encountered was my hotel in Vegas a couple years back.

fwiw, the building is still really nice. Lots of marble. I like it.
It certainly could be worse. The building could have been bought by Donald Trump.

Final Fantasy Tactics has me hooked again. I haven't even done the first major mission yet, and I am grinding my way through battles, improving my party and making a nice blend of talent across all my dudes.
I am trying to remember what the best party blend was... I may resort to GameFAQs... its been ages.

oh, and I got a new suit.
You've got new computer games and a new suit? Life can't be that terrible!
And I will steadfastly refuse to acknowledge that everything is terrible, because I have first-hand knowledge of some people, places and things being fantastic!
Now, your job may indeed be terrible, I'll give you that.

...did the top fall off in an earthquake?
Zuul-related incident.

Nah, the cupola was removed in 1938.
The building interior is very art deco. It looks very 1930s.

Looks like the top fell off when they added 8 more floors.
too many enemies are dormant when you're far away, but still well within bow range
