So late sunday afternoon one of elevators stops working or 'out of commision' as we used to say.
Monday early afternoon the elevator mechanic is working on the elevator.
I head out of my suite and press the button for the elevator and voila the door opens. But, silly me thinks the 2nd elevator is now working and I step into. Bad idea!
So for maybe less than 5 minutes--it always seems longer when you are in an intense or stressful situation - doors close and will not open. I press the help or telephone button and the man in the speaker talks to me. Asking the usual questions, what is the problem or what is the address. Then says 'Remain Calm' --lmao. Ok I take a deep breath.
Then about 2 minutes later, the door opens slowly and stiffly..like its been forecably opened. I think wow- that's quick service. I start to step out and I hear a voice. So I take a couple steps backwards- saying 'what?' Then 'hello I am right above you working on the elevator'.
So back out into the rain and some hot tea.
Walking in the rain and Sasha finds an abandoned soccer ball marked 'Joshua L'. It's amazing how excited dogs get over a ball of any size- its like they have won the lottery!
Ah the joys of simple things. If only we could look at life like that more often! Then we will have truly Won the lottery Of life. :)
