It just looks like some boxes.

Damn that's cool, I was in a Sand storm once but didn't get to see it like that, I only just got through the door fast enough to miss the storm.

Somewhat.... I miss all the people I worked with... plus life was easy over there. All I had to worry about was getting to work on time and not dying
Other than that we had a good ol' time
