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

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

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.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I literally didn't even think of red, white, and blue. Apparently I am not a patriot after all.

Oh, man, today is going to be hard to get through without snarling at things.

When I was in college, a favored prank was to steal the "l" from the sign for the Office of Public Information.

I am so sorry Dana. At least you saw Daveed Diggs!

My library e-book collection is STILL recommending me children's books, like Curious George.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I know that feel, Dana. My back-up person did nothing while I was "on vacation", as far as I could tell.

What I read was that they had color-coded the elevators red, white, and blue, and no one thought about it until they got embarrassed.

I'm disproportionately angry about it.
