Caught in an Elevator
“Come inside… it’s safe… you know you want to…”
I got out of bed an hour earlier than I normally do today in the hopes of getting a myriad of tasks accomplished. My plan was to put my work-out clothes on, take the recycling out, throw on a load of laundry and exercise while the laundry was washing. All went to hell in a laundry basket when the elevator got stuck between floors on my way down to the laundry room. Not good. There I am in my ponytail and Everlast boxing shorts (they never seemed cheesy before), alone, pounding on the door, pressing “door open” and “door close” frantically… to no avail. Luckily, a woman heard me and called the superintendent. He told me to stay calm, that the elevator maintenance crew was on the way. Shortly thereafter another man - I never knew his name - asked me if I was alone and should he keep me company through the door. He didn’t stay, but I do appreciate the thought. It took exactly 55 minutes between the elevator getting stuck and the maintenance guy opening the door for me. I’m just glad I’m not claustrophobic… or incontinent!

Carly:
I guess the good thing is that you got out of the elevator, even if it took 55 minutes. The better thing is that you’re not claustrophobic or incontinent.
I take it you’ll have to do the laundry thing again. Good luck with that. (Maybe hubby can do the next round!)

Haven’t you ever considered doing the laundry in the bath tub? Think of the time and effort you’d save.
C’mon Carly, think!

My office just moved and I’m disturbed to notice a sign in the elevator entitled “When stuck in an elevator car”. I suppose it must happen often in this building! Perhaps I should copy down the text and send it to you.
Happy you’re back in T.O., by the way!
