You enter your office building and get into the elevator. As the elevator starts rising you feel a jolt. The lights go off and the elevator stops. you try to call for help but your cell phone has no service and the emergency phone is out of order. You sigh and sit on the ground. Luckily you have your MP3 player with you and just loaded a few movies onto it last night. You start watching a movie. All of a sudden the elevator moves again, just as your movie is finishing. Perfect timing.

You get to your office, about 1 1/2 hours later, and try to explain to your boss that the elevator was stuck and there was nothing you could do. Sick of your excuses, and thinking you were making this up, your boss fires you on the spot. You clean out your desk and leave the building, making sure to use the stairs instead of the elevator.

What a horrible day!
