Elevator Story
1:37 p.m. 2005-04-05


Hello!

I’ve been cheating. I have been spending more time on my AOL Journal than I have here on Diaryland. I confess. Please forgive me! I just get more attention from my AOL Journal I guess. People actually stop by and leave comments, unlike here. But, being the loyal servant as I am, I will continue writing here as well. I will say that AOL did highlight my journal today, and I feel pretty proud of myself. If you want to see my AOL Journal, and you have an AOL account, you can find it under “Coelha Thoughts”.

Now that I’ve confessed my cheating ways, I can continue to write here.

I read something just awful on the news today. It’s so unbelievable that it is actually kind of funny. A poor Chinese delivery guy was stuck in a broken elevator for 3 days. Poor guy. I hope he still had the food he was delivering with him! My guess, he didn’t, otherwise the hungry people who requested the delivery would have called—you would assume. BUT, then again, the owners of the restaurant didn’t even bother to report him missing. Lovely. They said they were worried that he was kidnapped. Word to the wise:
If you work somewhere where they don’t really care about you, do not use elevators. BUT, if you do, remember to press the RED BUTTON that says “EMERGENCY”.

Something similar happened here at work. My old boss got stuck in the elevator in the building. Sadly, no one really knew she was gone until we heard the fire trucks coming. Suddenly, 4 firefighters came rushing in the hallway. After a few minutes, out emerged Lois as white as a ghost. We all felt badly-kind of. She must have been in there at least a hour. Well, at least the firemen were cute!
