Stuck in an Elevator
The other day, I got stuck in an elevator.  I was heading home from work at about 5:15 (ah, government hours) and hopped in an elevator and pressed the button to take me to the first floor.  Well, the doors shut, but the elevator didn't move.  I pressed all the buttons there were to push, but no luck.  I had to call maintenance and wait for almost an hour and a half while the elevator maintenance guys came and got me out of there.  It was miserable.  You might think that being stuck in a broken elevator on the fifth floor alone for an hour and a half might have caused one to do some self-reflection or soul searching or something like that, maybe turn into a life changing experience (kind of like a near-death exprience).  But it didn't.  I wasn't scared; just bored and glad I didn't have to use the bathroom.  Maybe if the elevator was shaking or something; that might have lead to a more significant experience.  But I just sat around and scared Katie by pretending that I might run out of air (at least my phone worked).

Yes you did scare me to death. I thought you were running out of air. Not so funny. I'm just grateful you came out. We like you way too much for anything to happen to you. I still think you could have pulled off a Bond move and shimmied out the top if necessary :).
