Elevator scene
I'm feelin' scruffy, in basketball shorts and a running shirt, in the elevator at the Multnomah Building. I'm going from my office in the basement, to the 5th floor, the one with the break room.Guy in Dockers and a button-shirt gets on at the first floor. Gives me a suspicious "sideways glance", then notices my badge. "Oh, you work in the building? County employee?" He brightens considerably and offers his hand for a shake.
"Yeah" I say. Shake his hand.
"And what department do you work for?" he asks. The doors for the 4th floor open, he starts to step off.
"I.T." I say.
"Oh, excellent, excellent!" This seems to confirm his suspicion, based on my casual dress, and steps off. The doors close. I laugh, once, out loud.
