Overheard in the Elevator
Woman 1: …
Woman 2: …
[Elevator stops abruptly and doors open up approximately four inches, somewhere between the 15th and 16th floors.]
Woman 1: Uh… okay?
Woman 2: Oh, that can’t be good.
[Woman 2 presses the button for the 16th floor several times, to no avail. Woman 1 presses the Close Doors button several times, to no avail.]
Woman 1: That’s just great.
Woman 2: Yeah, this is pretty much my fault. I’ve got this black cloud following me around lately. But I have a granola bar in my bag…
Woman 1: Ha! Well, I guess I should press the alarm button.
Woman 2: Go for it.
[Elevator suddenly starts to go up, passes Woman 2’s floor, and stops at Woman 1’s floor.]
Voice of God over Intercom: Hello? Security. Is there a problem?
Woman 1: Nope, it’s not stuck anymore. We’re good.
Woman 2: Well, based on my luck lately, I think I’m taking the stairs back down.
Woman 1: Probably a good idea. Good luck with that black cloud!
Woman 2: You too… I mean thanks!

I was REALLY bored today at work, and got “up to speed” on your Orangehat Chronicles. It was far sadder and tragic than I could bear, forcing me to raid all the Xanax off the shelves. Your life is so so sad. I don’t know if I can read your blog anymore. I just don’t think my heart can take it.
