big setup, small joke
I work in a building that frequently hosts conferences and conventions. This is sometimes annoying (hordes of boat enthusiasts), sometimes charming (music teachers sell strange paraphernalia), and sometimes just plain weird (Objectivist conference -- complete with Ayn Rand bookstore. aaaa no).
At the moment, the conference is the Association of Physical Plant Administrators -- the people who take care of maintenance in large facilities. Buildings and Grounds people, in other words, like the ones at my old campus job. Nice folks.
However, it means that there are signs reading APPA 2010 all over the place.
It's taking all my self-control not to call "Yip Yip!" when I pass their booths.
(Now I want campaign signs. Appa/Momo 2010: We Know Fuzzy Math)
