Any Old Day Now And Elevator Hopping

I swear I'm going to have more pictures from Australia to post any day now.  It has just taken forever to get them formatted...uploaded...I don't know all the things that Mr. Carport Furby does to them.  But I do know it takes a...very...very...very...long time.  Actually, I was going to go through to pick out any additional pictures that I thought he had missed in the formatting and uploading process, but I got too frustrated because the dates were off, and I just couldn't tell what was what.  Sounds rather silly, I know.

So I recently started taking the elevator the four to five floors down at work.  I have consistently taken the stairs up and down for the past two years, but I decided in light of recent kneecap developments, I would take a break and only take the stairs up.  If I am going down, I now take the elevator.  The down the stairs part has always been more knee-painful anyway.  So I'm trying to preserve some cartilage and be nicer to my knee.

Once in awhile at work (well, actually this can happen anywhere,) I get a bit flustered.  I was heading out to an appointment of some sort, and in keeping with my new elevator resolution, I hit the down button and waited.  I guess I didn't leave that much time to get to my appointment because I was in a bit of a hurry.  The elevator doors opened, and there was a whole group of people on the elevator already.  I jumped on, and looked at the floor board (I don't actually know the official name of it, but you know all of the buttons that light up when you press what floor you want to go to.)  And, the darn thing was pressed for EVERY floor between four and the basement!  Being in my flustered state of mind, I mumbled sorry, and jumped off the elevator to take the stairs, as everyone on the elevator seemed to stare at me in annoyance/confusion/amazement.  I did feel a little guilty and like a pretty big flake because I made all of them stop on an extra floor and then jumped off the elevator in a tizzy.  But for some reason I couldn't handle stopping on all those floors, even to save my poor old knee.
