That office started all of their meetings at 5 past the hour, so you had time to run from meeting to meeting, wrap up the previous meeting, make a phone call, or use the restroom.

My counterpart in their office was as Portlandy as a Portlandian could get - beard, flannel shirt in his badge photo/avatar, and his email closing was: "Dig it, " Or, just "Dig."
