i caught only a glimpse of the person boarding as the elevator doors closed. crap. missing the elevator on the basement floor means up to a 5 minute wait for the next one.
i pushed the "up" button resigned to an extended wait. within 10 seconds i was startled by the ding and the elevator doors opening.
my first thought was that i must have pressed the button before the elevator ever departed.
i stepped into an empty elevator. how could it be empty!? not enough time had passed for the elevator to travel any where and return so quickly. where did the person go?
before reaching the 5th floor i had formulated a theory. the company has gone through some messy lay offs recently and some harsh treatment from the press for it. the company is now vaporizing employees in the elevators. clean, quiet, and simple. i was unaware vaporizing technology was so advanced.
elevators are strange places here.
i used to fear lay offs, now i fear the elevator.
