Everyone says it's a small world. So there I was, halfway through my second week on a business trip, when I suddenly found out I've been staying in the same hotel as two colleagues for the past week and a half. On adjacent floors, no less. And we never ran into each other once the whole time, even though we go to the same office every day.

They told me there's this little balcony on the 17th floor with a free view of the city. It's really nice in the evening.
