If you also work in the Office Tower of the Washington State Trade and Convention Center, then you already know this. If not, let me tell you, I, and many others, were greeted this morning with a sign informing us that the elevators weren’t working and that we could use the stairs to our left over there. Um, they do realize that there are no offices below 7, right? I would complain (more) but I was passed by some man going up to the 21st floor (out of 22!). I was so glad I did not have to go up that high.

In any case, my double digit walk-up this morning got me to panting and to thinking how crazy it is that we rely unthinkingly on elevators to take us to and fro whenever we need them. Plus, isn’t it amazing that bizarre occurrances such as this are so out of the ordinary? Yay for safe elevators! Now if they could just get more than one working, we could all leave this tower without throwing down our hair.
