OK, I have told this story about 20 times but Jamie asked me last night if I put it on the blog. So here it is, this happened to me yesterday:
OK, here is the setup: I work in a 21 story building. There are 2 sets of elevators in the lobby. One side goes to to floors L-10, the other side goes 10-21. You can cross over to the other elevators on the 10th floor if you want.
So here is the story: Today we had a fire drill and I am part of the ERT (Emergency Response Team) so I manned one of the stair wells, there are 2, one on each side of the building..... kind of like the elevators. Anyways, as part of the fire drill we had people go down to the 9th floor instead of going all the way out of the building. I stood at the door and told people to go to the 9th floor and wait outside the door for more instructions. I keep telling this over and over.... A crabby woman comes in and I tell her to go down to the 9th floor, here is the rest of the conversation:
- "The 9th floor is on the other side of the building."
- I said, "You can go down the stairs to the 9th floor."
- "But it's on the other side of the building"
- "The elevator to the 9th floor is on the other side but the stairs go to all floors"
She rolls her eyes at me and heads down the stairs. I hear her say to someone else as she is walking down:
- "That girl keeps telling us to go to the 9th floor but it's on the other side of the building so I don't know what she is talking about!"
OMG, how do these people get out of bed! I was telling a co-worker of mine and he said I should have told her to take the stairs to the 10th floor, cross over and go down the other set of stairs to the 9th floor!

Well this weekend was Grandpa's 90th Birthday Brunch. It was a great success! We spent Saturday getting all the food ready and it sure paid off. I don't think anyone left hungry.
