#dumbwaiters

My old desk was right next to something like this- it was the old dumbwaiter that they used to use to send the books downstairs. It went down to the current security office, and one day they had someone who was using drugs in the men's room, so they detained him. When the cops got there, he was gone. He climbed into this thing and hid- climbed up the shaft like a spider. (Ours still has the doors, but they cut the cables.)

But that did not stop me from spending the rest of my shift contemplating how I might make my way into the dumbwaiter someday...
