After a smoother drive into work than I would have thought likely, I came upon this at my office building:

- All three main elevators were out. My options were to take a maze-like patchwork of service elevators, or else take eight flights of steps. It was too early for navigating through the building’s innards, so I took the stairs.

Had I known I would be hiking up to my office first thing, I would have skipped the light cardio workout I did when I got out of bed. I made it up all eight floors, huffing and puffing.

Naturally, I got word that the elevators started running about five minutes after I sat in my chair. Typical.

- The bathrooms up here somehow got flooded yesterday, resulting in a lot of wet carpet by their entryways. It’s only water, but still kinda disgusting.

Thanks, you bitch.

Actually, the weather is shaping up to be rather pleasant — only a few scattered clouds against a nice blue sky, and relatively cool. Go figure.
