Which forum skin do you use?

@321, FYI you can switch between a normal skin and mobile style at any time by clicking the link near the bottom of the page.

I always use mobile style at work -- it looks nondescript and almost businesslike on a desktop system.

No one's really watching me at work, but one of the security cameras does happen to be directly behind me (because it also captures most of the room and the front door) and my boss does check it from time to time, to see if patients are waiting or what-have-you. When I'm browsing the forum for a couple of minutes, in case she's watching and I don't want to have an awkward conversation, I always scroll past the banner quickly... but then sometimes I open the photobook and custest threads, and immediately regret it.

^LOL I have the same problem, although not with my boss (since I don't have a boss o.o)

Yeah, I tend to scroll past the banners quickly when I'm in a public place, even though I'd be using my netbook, which doesn't have a very big screen to begin with.

On campus I have my own office, and I usually close the door and pretend I'm not there xD

When I went to Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, the English (and Linguistics) department offices were in three-level building running down a hillside that functioned as a fairly effective maze, making it very difficult for students to find any given faculty-member's office -- and most people I kenew -- both students and faculty -- assumed that it had been deliberately designed that way.

Edit: I found this quote from the Cal Poly student FAQ site -- it's quite accurate:

Called "The Maze" by the few who have survived its perils, this building serves as both offices for College of Liberal Arts faculty and a high security prison, for those who enter may simply never return. According to the original building proposal, the original idea was "M. C. Escher On Slightly More Acid Than He Was Back In The '50s." The architect certainly met this goal, with hallways that lead to dead ends and stairwells that lead to the level you were previously on, and I'm pretty sure there's a portal to Narnia tucked in a corner somewhere.

^ That sounds exactly like Dwinelle Hall at U.C. Berkeley. Someone even posted an M.C. Escher drawing with the caption "Map of Dwinelle Hall" in one of the corridors. The biggest problem for those unaccustomed to Dwinelle is the fact that it's really two conjoined buildings with separate systems of room numbering: four-digit numbers in the section that's mainly offices, lower numbers in the section that's mainly classrooms.

When I was a kid, the entire Berkeley campus looked like a huge, formidable maze!

The best description I ever read of a U.C. Berkeley building was the one that Herb Caen once quoted (i.e., probably made up himself and attributed to someone) about the sports stadium -- that it "looked like something that Mussolini ordered over the telephone."

Spoiler: show

I've always assumed that he was referring to this masterpiece of 1930s kistch (Edwards Stadium), and not the more Coliseum-like California Memorial Stadium:
