The Mysterious Room 323
Oct. 29th, 2009 07:02 pmToday I had to make a delivery to Main 323. It was a surprisingly interesting journey. Here are the steps I took.
1. Start walking up the steps near my office.
2. Notice that the steps only go up to the second floor; come back down.
3. Have a vague memory that the big elevator doesn't work for the lower floors.
4. Take the small elevator to the third floor.
5. Find rooms 301 and 302; no one really knows about 323, but I should probably try the other elevator.
6. Take the big elevator to the third floor.
7. Find a sign explaining that I am on the third floor of the Tower, and that if I want to be on the third floor of the Main Building, I need to take the elevator to the eighth floor. “We didn't say this would make any sense.”
8. Take the elevator to the eight floor.
9. Find room 323, but it is open to staff only (and the door is locked); others are instructed to go to room 7.
10. Take the elevator to the ground floor.
11. Ask someone in room 7 if I can leave my delivery. She tells me that the person receiving the delivery is on the third floor. I tell her that I'm apparently not allowed in there. She tells me the person has a mailbox she could leave something in. I say that would be great.
