I think the phrase "going for an explore" is from Winnie the Pooh, but that's what I did for a few minutes. My destination, the mythical Connely Center. I was only interested in this place because any time I ask about about where I can get something, more soda, a cup of non-McDonalds coffee, DVDs, they tell me to go to the Connely Center. From where I am now, that requires either an escort with magnetic card or two elevator rides. It's not busy now, so I figured the elevator part wouldn't take too long and I was right.
The Connely Center looks kind of like an airport lounge without a bar and 8 TVs with CNN on. And airplanes (though there is a heliport on the roof). It was empty and quiet, but, like airport lounges, would clearly be loud and uncomfortable if there were more than a half dozen people in it. It does have the elusive fully equipped coffee machine (there are other coffee machines but no coffee to accompany them), which I will check out and report on in the morning. I already feel a bit of performance anxiety, because there are lots of signs saying there's video surveillance. For the moment, I settled for a can of soda, since the Nourishment Room is all out.
