Elevator to no where
The other evening as i left work after completing an eleven hour shift, I wandered my way to await for a lift from the eleventh floor to the ground so i could not think about phones, well for about 12 hours anyway. I and some colleagues borded the lift that soon arrived and everything was going splednidly until we reached the bottom. As we reached the ground floor the lift kind of spluttered kind of like a car that has just ran out of petrol. "That didn't feel good" I thought to myself, and we patiently awaited for the doors to open to freedom to no avail. We proded a few of the controls to see if we could inspire the doors to open and this yeilded no results.
Suddenly it felt as though we were on the move yet again and as i looked up to the floor indicator we indeed were moving, but why are we going back up? We arrived at the tenth floor the doors opened to let the awaiting ghost in and we went back to the ground floor where the same thing happened. "Oh no not again" "We'd like to get out now" where two common phrases as people vented their exasperation at our current predicament. I started to contomplate whether or not i should just get off at the next floor we go to wherever that may be and curl up for the night using my jacket as a pillow.
It would have kind of been like camping except with reverse cycle air conditioning. Alas we started moving onwards and upwards yet again and we made it to the top floor Yay. We are now even further from our goal then when we started. We decided to make a break for it much to the dismay of the lady waiting for her lift to the ground. (Most other tennants in the building tend to dislike the workers from my company much to the point where there is much snobbery on their part.
Having extracated ourselves from the evil elevator we waited patiently for the next one, only to find that it hadn't gone anywhere,grrrrrrrr. So we waited for the doors to close and counted to five and pressed the button again. Hazza a new lift arrived and we were taken safely to the ground floor and let out rather efficiently. Perhaps the other lift was lonely? who knows but where quite relieved that we would be spending the night in our comfy beds. All in all a rather extensive but amusing end to a rather frustrating day.
