About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, an elderly accountant named Mr. Smith arrived early as usual. Over the intercom came a strange voice: ‘Attention, everyone—your taxes are now being audited by a very particular IRS agent.’ Mr. Smith froze for a moment, then calmly opened his calculator and started calculating away. After a few minutes, he announced into the intercom: 'Agent, I see you've made a small mistake in your calculations—you're supposed to audit my retirement fund next year!' Everyone burst out laughing, including the mysterious voice on the other end.

2. One afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to the back door of Age of Technology with a box marked ‘Top Secret’. As he opened it, everyone in the office heard him gasp: ‘What the heck is this? It looks like a calculator from the 80s!’ As it turned out, the old calculator was actually an antique collector’s dream—a rare model from the 80s that fetched a pretty penny on eBay. The delivery driver became a local hero among the accountants, who teased him gently for not recognizing such a treasure. And so, Age of Technology learned an important lesson: sometimes, what seems like junk might just be gold.

3. In the dead of night, a delivery driver pulled up to the back door of Age of Technology. The clock read 3 AM, when even computers slept. A soft humming sound came from inside, and a faint light flickered on the second floor. The driver knocked gently, but no one answered. Curious, he peered through the window and saw an old accountant hunched over his computer, muttering numbers in his sleep. With a smile, the driver left a note: ‘Next time, please wake up before logging in.’

4. In the middle of a blistering summer, when air conditioning was failing across the city, a mysterious figure began appearing in the window of Age of Technology every midnight. The silhouette would quickly scan the room with an old-fashioned clipboard before disappearing without a sound. One night, a delivery driver noticed the ghostly figure and waved hello. Startled, the spirit replied, ‘I’m not a ghost—just an accountant checking my spreadsheets!’ Turns out, the mysterious visitor was just an overzealous employee working late during the heatwave. Since then, employees bring their laptops outside for better cooling.
