Lovely sprinkling morning, I wake up early to meet with a Professor. The professor is late due to a cranky child. I can't get my video to work, so thus I have to move the appointment to later. I get back to my dorm, then they tummy rumbles, it is time for lunch. So I get the order from Vicki, being kind and generous and getting her food. I run out the building trying to get her breakfast before the breakfast closes.
I am running across the street in the door, and striaght to the elevator. I am like take elevator get to the 4th floor like I always do, and then in the door get in line. 5 minutes max till I am in line for breakfast, and getting my amazing breakfast tacos.
Ugh, elevator has to stop at every floor on the way up, finally third floor one more floor. The elevator door closes, starts going up ...
Then it is pitch black, the power is out.
Yeah trapped in the elevator, two other girls, set off the alarm, call the police department and wait. Girl number one, claustrophobic, and can't seperate from the cell phone. Girl number two, only worried about her speech that she is supposed to be giving immediately.
So I left Butler 10:16 - 100% trapped in elevator 10:20ish. Don't get out of elevator till 11:40ish.
Both other girls were going to class and were worried about going to class. After an hour in the elevator, we call UPD again, this time they are like what? your in an elevator. No not like we haven't already called. And she says the power is back on, so we have something other than no power problems. Yeah here comes the police department. 5-10 min later, police officer arrives opens doors for more air, problem can't get out, stuck between floors. Now time for the electrician. He comes and thankfully cranks the elevator down for us to get out. What now can become of a day where over an hour was spent in an elevator?
