Oooh, the inner lobby! I was hoping I could use the word "anteroom" but it looks like I blew my chance on Day 2.

So here's what you're looking at from right to left - Mike's backside as he goes up the stairs to the 2nd floor, a low bookshelf with more books to read, a surprised Missy at the door (I'm notorious for that), a taller bookshelf and a white board listing birthdays, Zappos employment anniversaries and other announcements. The actual inner lobby is on the other side of the double glass doors where Missy is standing. You can see someone waiting for the elevator to the left. Now the righthand side, that's where this blog post's "Fun and a little wierd" is located. Tadaah!
We actually have a shoeshine bench complete with a skeletal pirate. (on the right) John (on the left) hefts a sword and bandana. Some of the other details in the picture - on the right is our dry cleaning pickup rack and on the left is a pair of water fountains. Contrary to popular opinion, only water comes out of these fountains - this isn't a Chocolate Factory. And at the upper left is the cat sign for Felix, our shine guy who comes in a couple of times a week.
