I am retired now, but I spent the last 26 years of my working
career based out of a 51 story building in downtown Atlanta.
Mornings, lunch time, and afternoons were a pain in the butt
riding the elevators, stopping on every floor,
or waiting for the next one because it was already full...
The executives were housed on the 51st floor
and had their own express elevator so they did not have to
experience what the regular folks had to put up with.
I use to have an office in the BOK building in Downtown Tulsa, 45th floor.
I took the freight elevators...
I worked in a building like that in Houston for a while and there was a certain elevator that would free fall when it started its descent. When the door on that one opened, I waited on another one.
