ugh

Rumor has it that the elevators in my building are the fastest on the west coast. I know this because at least four conversations about elevator speed occur in my presence every week. Perplexing. Why does the probability for awkward elevator conversations increase when elevators move quickly rather than more slowly? The only thing working in my favor is that the sinus infection haunting my head has rendered my hearing nearly obsolete. Never thought I’d say it, but thank you, mr. nose infection.
