it's all office space, you could rent one out that had a shower and kitchenette and sleep there, nobody would ever know if you did it under an llc and weren't throwing ridiculous parties in the atrium every night.

if the building takes care of custodial stuff you'd also need to count on them either not figuring it out or not caring to rat you out. fooling them seems like it'd basically be impossible. but maybe you could just say "hey don't clean it, i'll do it"

true, i tacitly assumed the building wouldn't provide that but it's definitely a complication.

looks like about $3.30/sqft/month, so, considering los angeles rent, not really!

We had somebody try to live in the office for a few months. Not sure if they fooled staff or if staff noticed but just didn't call the "somebody is trying to live in the office" hotline.

I was out late drinking one night and decided to just sleep in my office and let me tell you the cleaning staff were not happy to find me passed out on the floor

I got to work on time tho so who’s to say if it was bad or not

Ours gets cleaned daily, but the security room has a keypad and the cleaners don't know the code so it never gets vacuumed.

I had to start forcing people to set their trash cans outside the door because walking in after a weekend to smell someone's lunch going foul was...unpleasant.

Anything more than two or three beers kicks the poo poo out of me and just deletes the entire following day from my life, always has.

If I had any sort of tolerance for alcohol I would surely be a raging alcoholic.

not sure what was so risky about my post but what i was getting at was food allergies, and how foods that are sometimes ok normally, when combined with alcohol can completely cause what i think is your digestive tract to shut down so you wake up thinking you ate but none of the nutrients have been processed so you basically starved yourself AND harmed your digestive tract unintentionally and it has to repair, but like i said nutrients are acutely scarce. it's a very uncomfortable wake up.

it sounds very frightening

i've done that with alcohol and then benadryl and woke up nearly dead

i just meant that if you have a blood sugar insulin thing you should see a doc and do OTC testing at least

death is certain but don't go it alone if you're at risk of this kind of thing

you can survive a coma if someone knows to call the medics but a lot of people get confused with the alcohol and whoopsie into the grave
