Chalked up another life experience
This evening, Tomas and I had what can only be described as 'an experience'.
We were stuck in our building's lift tonight for about an hour. Being stuck in a lift is an unpleasant thing to begin with but when you don't have a mobile phone on you and the emergency phone calls a disconnected number it makes matters worse. Also, we were stuck between two floors and could only see about 10cm of the lift door for the floor below us.
After about 5 minutes of being stuck in the lift, we heard someone walking in one of the two hallways we were stuck between. So Tom banged on the door. Luckily, Paul from Unit 14 heard us and called the lift company. They sent the lift guy out from Capalaba which took a while. When he eventually arrived, there was no way to get us out easily. Our lift doesn't have a trap door and it didn't stop where it is required to by law.
In the end, the lift guy, hauled us up to the next floor where we literally climbed out. Once we were out lift guy told us that our lift doesn't comply with building standards...at least he waited until we were out.
In case you are wondering, while we were in the lift, we played the alphabet game. Firstly with important figures of the ancient world which was quite hard and secondly, I challenged Tom to play with race horses.
