A note to all architects, business owners, and building managers.

PUT YOUR FREAKING ADDRESS ON THE DAMN BUILDING!!! In a place where it can be seen and recognized from a vehicle moving at the speed limit on the facing road. Putting the street number under an overhang in a recessed entryway is not at all helpful! Having the numbers in tiny print under a Huge Corporate Logo is also not at all useful, especially when your decorative shrubs cover the numbers.

While I'm ranting, let me discuss building numbers. Y'all may know that Building 4 is really 1000 Dotbomb Way, but all my PO has is the street address. I need to find 1000 Dotbomb. Why don't I have the building number? Because I'm not delivering to you; I'm delivering to the contractors who are redoing your building. I really love having to thread my big-ass truck through a crowded parking lot searching for the right door.

This rant was brought to you by my final job today and the City of Milpitas.
