elevator alarm's been screaming for eleven minutes straight, filed the gamer one-handed anyway, other hand on the door trying to keep it from deciding my exit for me. building's ancient, alarm's older, my patience is somewhere in between. building maintenance says 'someone's coming.' i've been told that about a coordinator, a quarterback controversy, and this alarm, all in the same calendar year, and only one of those has actually shown up. copy's in on time regardless, nine's nine, the building can sort itself out on its own schedule
