The Thanksgiving holiday is over and elevator operation is in full swing. All those residents who went to the country for their long weekends are back and the elevator moves up and down with regularity, driven by me, your trusting correspondent.
I say trusting because I am aware that this blog could get me into trouble at work. I am a service employee, and inevitably situations will arise in which people for whom I work will not like what I have to say, or even say that it is not my place to say anything. Although this blog is anonymous, there will be readers of it who will know exactly who I am, and if these people do not like what I have to say, I am sure there will be trouble for me. So while I am sensitive to the fact that at work, it is not my place to say anything, in my own time, I am free to say whatever I wish to, and that the anonymous and voluntary nature of this blog provides an outlet for me on issues that may affect me directly, or on situations where my insight may be valuable to my readers, if not simply interesting. It is not ever my intention to allow this blog to become of the voyeuristic gossipy sort, although there is no shortage of appetite for inside information on the lifestyles of the upper crust. Rather, the primary purpose of this blog is to allow me an outlet for my thoughts and opinions about my work and workplace, and that it is my hope as a writer that my work on this blog will provide a valuable and unique lens through which to view the culture of the city.
