Or maybe Franny needs to work on her technique! I mean, if it's her project.

I'm going to NYC briefly this week for a grad school alumni meeting, and just remembered I need somewhere to stay! So as usual, I panicked on Priceline and have what looks like a decent room in a not that convenient location. I mean, it's a good location for many things, but not perfect for my needs. Ah well.

I find this unbelievable ... and yet it seems to be real.

I didn't read to well, and I just thought it was unfortunate and part of the venue (we have red, orange, green, yellow, silver and purple elevators where I work). That looks like it was hung by the actual convention!

I'm hoping it was a prank?

I also assumed it was part of some kind of color-coding thing, and that there were also red elevators and blue elevators somewhere else.

My guess is what Sophia said -- it's a huge venue, and the elevators are color coded, and it's an unfortunate coincidence that some are color coded white.

Quite possibly. However, on top of THIS, it kind of sends a message.

Yeah, I get that. Plus Trump is a racist jackwagon. That makes "white elevators" sound like something the GOP cooked up for the convention. But I think it's just unfortunate coincidence.

Jesus Christ, I was gone for almost a week and asked my coworker to do ONE THING.

I am in no way defending Trump, and we clearly avoided naming our elevators white or black, but it does seem like the idea might have been a red, white and blue theme, and it was thoughtless.

It sort of reminds me of when we renovated a floor at work. On all the plans, the adjust faculty office was labeled Faculty "Specials". Yes, with the quotes. That is because they are processed on a special payroll form.

Then the sign-maker made the sign for the door- in huge letters Faculty "Specials"! I can't really believe no one stopped that, but it amused me for a really long time to walk by it.
