Blog #14 Elevator Etiquette and MLK Day

Ok, people.  Here's one thing that REALLY irks me at work, elevator etiquette. C'mon, I don't ask for much, I really don't I promise, but there is one elevator etiquette that really piss me off: Look both ways before you enter.

Yes, simple as it sounds, people don't do it!


Step 1: When you're about to enter into an elevator, look to see if there are folks exiting. If they are, step out of their way and let them exit.

Step 2: Once that is done, you enter.

Dude, it's a TWO STEP PROCESS.

When you work on the 22nd floor (or however high you work) you need to maximize your efficiency and elevator etiquette will really help out. DUH.


Now onto other news. Today marks MLK Day.   What really pisses me off is that most companies do not provide you a day off for it.  Thank goodness, the company I work for does. =)  Not really brown nosing here, but I do REALLY appreciate it.

Hello people, Martin Luther King Jr. is one of the most recognizable person when it comes to the civil rights movement.  Seriously, if this didn't happen, most of us wouldn't be able to go to college or have the rights that we do now.  This movement spawned others to take place.  As a woman and a "minority" (yes, I hate that term), I am where I am because of folks like Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, Malcolm X, Cesar Chavez, Yuri Kochiyama, and more that I've obviously missed.

Anyhoo, for that, I want to take this day in observance of how far we've come, and how far we have to go.  To this I light a candle for the struggles that came before me, and the struggles that will come afterwards. I thank all my sorors and friends for always opening up the dialogue, and to my friends who are always  putting in their 2 cents from their perspective.  Thank you.
