power outage
As I was leaving the cancer center today, I pushed the elevator call button -- and lights for the whole floor went out. Yikes!
I repressed the urge to shout, "I didn't do it!"
There was a loooooong ten second pause, and then power came back -- for three seconds.
Another long pause. Power flickered.
I decided that even if power came back on and seemed to stay on, I wasn't going to risk the elevator.
Fortunately I only had to climb five flights of stairs to get to the level where my car was parked, and I can still manage that.
