Help ... I'm stuck !!!!!

Today ended up quite eventful at work, and thinking about it, how come if you're about to get stuck in a lift, it happens at the end of the day when you're about to leave work. Why not at the start or mid way through. How come it's when you've clocked off! Hmmmmmm. Murphy's Law at work I'm thinking.

This will teach me for using the lift for one floor when there are perfectly good stairs right? But I had an awkward box to carry so I was justified in using the lift!

There was a shudder and then stop and half lights went on. I was on my own and between floors. So pressed the emergency alarm which puts you through to the company in Melbourne mind you (over 3 hours away!!!) So they say they’ll send someone out. Panic. I have to wait, on my own, 3 hours???? Surely there was someone local. I asked them if they could ring downstairs for me to tell them I was in the lift.

A couple of able bodied men from my work decided to come to the rescue and it took them half an hour but they finally prised the doors open and realized I wasn’t quite up to the 1st floor, kind of half and half, so they had to help haul me out. One offered to jump in and hoist me up from inside but the thought of one of the bosses having quite the view of my butt in his face didn't wash with me, so I levered up onto the hand rail and then they hauled me up from the outside.

Obviously I watch too many movies - what if the lift started when I was half way in and out and I got decapitated or something? They reckoned that the lift wouldn't work with the doors open. Well yeah right, when did they go to lift operators school huh?

I thought I'd finish this post with a fun layout I did when we went to the 70's party. I did it a little bit ago but haven't showed you yet. We really love fancy dress, both of us. I think my hubby because he loves to be the centre of attention!! ha And me, because I love working on outfits and planning it all.
