Being a huge nerd, my computer obviously plays a large part of my life. So when it’s broken, it’s really like a thorn in a lion’s paw. It’s possible there’s very little you can do about it, and it just makes everything else around you extra irritating because you have this constant reminder of this pain that won’t go away. I don’t think I’m overdramatizing the situation. I get really pissy when my computer is broken, and any little annoying thing around me will be that much more annoying because of the mood. Though there were some things going on today that made me feel like I was in a movie.
Namely the workers outside of my window drilling into the building, which with all the vibration really makes me feel like they’re drilling into my skull. Plus the faster of the two elevators in my building wasn’t working, so I had to take the slow elevator.
Now this isn’t anything new but let me explain something about my building and this elevator. This elevator takes longer to go between consecutive floors than it does if it skips one. The long beep that happens right before the door opens takes far far longer between consecutive floors and it’s really annoying. PLUS there’s some faction of people in my building who aren’t at all satisfied with hittint he up button for the elevators when they’re on the first floor. So what they do is also press the down button, as if that’s going to help anything. Other problem is that if the other elevator isn’t working of course you’re going to get on the slow elevator once it comes. BUT the slow elevator is the only one of the two that goes to this particular part of the basement which has the mailboxes. So that means if you get on, and go down one flight you’re usually going to stop at the first floor again. This means going to consecutive floors TWICE, and you don’t even make any progress. Yeah, I hate this elevator with a passion. And despite the race I had with some people in my office to see who could climb the ten flights fastest, I still take it (Incidentally, it took me 41 seconds, I came in first for my particular bout, but the reigning champ opted out unless someone beat his existing record).
