PokéGo and the mysterious side effects of working late

Recently, when I'm at the office quite late, I turn on Pokémon Go and prop my phone by my monitor, and... my avatar walks. Through some odd malfunction of GPS, she walks out of the building, pauses, walks back in, pauses, and repeats. (She's blithely oblivious to the fact that we're not on the ground floor, of course.) This never happens elsewhere: only my desk at work.

Over many hours, my avatar sometimes even racks up a tiny fraction of a kilometer! (Not enough so that it's cheating, I hope. Just enough that it's amusing that she's really pacing, impatient for us to get out and catch pokémon. Her world and mine...)

To delight me when I finally did get home tonight, a 10K egg hatched an awesome aerodactyl. I haven't even seen a wild one yet!
