Elevators at work

 





In assembling today's post, which I largely did on the more complicated medium of my phone, at work, on a day that afforded me extra free time due to the library delivery truck breaking down, I focused largely on elevators. Indeed here are two, half-minute vignettes involving our two elevators at the library.

But what surprised me is that though I use labels to help identify my thousands of posts by subject, I do not yet have a label for elevators.

This is a shame, because I am certain that my library elevators have been the subject of many excellent posts. Not only have I featured monsters in our elevators before, and even a bloody elevator "Shining" homage, I also have fond memories of posts about the library elevator functioning as a time machine. And I remember travelling up and down on the elevator to different times of the day like it really happened. Less dramatically, because it is a source of fascination for me, I've probably written a dozen odd pieces about how fantastically slow our elevators are. But, alas, no label linking them all together.

So anyway, here are our elevators in all their glory, the first post featuring our wonderful new label "elevator" that as yet is connected to nothing.

No music today with this footage, I am sorry to say.

If you were wondering, yes, you should comment. Not only does it remind me that I must write in intelligible English because someone is actually reading what I write, but it is also a pleasure for me since I am interested in anything you have to say.

I respond to pretty much every comment. It's like a free personalized blog post!

One last detail: If you are commenting on a post more than two weeks old I have to go in and approve it. It's sort of a spam protection device. Also, rarely, a comment will go to spam on its own. Give either of those a day or two and your comment will show up on the blog.
