Well, that was... something. Not "fun".

Just spent a little over an hour stuck in an elevator.
Amazing how peaceful it was to just do nothing... except when building security kept asking whether I was okay. (I would have played music, but I forgot to recharge my phone. Hence, do nothing.)
I'll be talking with my contact in building security tomorrow about it. For now, it's just nice to be able to sit down.

Oh GACK. Still glad to hear you were okay Rob. Had a transformer blow here where I live like a month ago that also stranded at least one person in our elevator, and it seemed to be a major undertaking to get her free.

All alone in the elevator? (Since chatting with other stranded people would've been something to do....) For some reason, though I'm normally cool with being alone, alone in that situation strikes me as particularly creepy. I'm happy you got out of it okay.

Me and my minor claustrophobia will be over here in the corner shaking... glad you're OK!

All alone, for over an hour.
At the time, I was fine. This morning, I'm still mustering up the courage to go back to work.

Ouch. My sympathies. I once got stuck in an elevator at our old apartment complex but I was with Chris and it wasn't an hour.
Given all the other budget woes you've shared with me about the place, I'm not surprised.

Well, it is taxpayers' money that they're spending... Anyway.
Went to work, roughly at lunchtime. The elevator I was stuck in was still out of service. Managed to handle the elevator ride up. Didn't get asked for a leave form. Went back to ground level for coffee break, managed to psych myself up to take the elevator back to my desk again. Didn't get much done after that. Took the elevator down at the end of the day. Decided to get something on the way home for supper.
Good thing I don't have to go anywhere tomorrow.

Gah. I've been trying to think all day of what to say, and i can't come up with anything more eloquent than "that sucks". Sorry you had to go through that.

I imagine when you're a religious leader this sort of thing is taken as some kind of portent more than capricious chance. What sort of sign it would be I'm not sure, having slipped from "not religious" to anti-religious" over the past decade or so.
e; I mean, two or three different jokes spring immediately to mind, but I know just as fast they're mean spirited and in poor taste.
