arguing woman: aw
So I'm on the 5th floor, working on obituaries. The fifth and sixth floor are closed to the public. There are two ways to get to these two closed floors, which involves people who work at the library. Everyone at the library has a badge, and when we get on the elevator, we scan the badge to get to the 5th and 6th floor. Also, if you are on either floor, you can call the elevator (you know, press the button to go down or up-though the 6th floor is the highest floor, so you can only go down). Some people will call the elevator, then wander off because they forgot something or decide to use the stairs (and the stairs are accessable by scanning your badge) and the elevator will come up, sometimes with people on it. I'm always afraid that someone will call an elevator, then go away, and idiot customers will see the elevator open on a floor they've never seen and walk out.
So I'm working on obituaries (we store the microfilm on this floor; we also store old books and magazines) and I decide to go look for an old magazine.
I see a man and a woman at one of the shelves looking at magazines.
me: hi, this is a closed floor.
aw: oh, I didn't know, there was no sign. I'm looking for the si-fi books.
me: they are on the first floor. Let me show you where the elevator is.
(aw and guy follow me)
aw: There was nothing saying this was a closed floor.
me: yes, let me show you the elevator.
aw: We didn't know this was a closed floor.
me: The only way to get up here is to have a badge or
aw: there was no sign.
me: someone who works here called the elevator
aw: there was a guy with a basket on the elevator.
(we are at the elevator, I call it up, it opens up)
me: The fifth and sixth floor are closed. The si-fi books are on the first floor.
aw and guy: ok, thanks!
I wasn't even asking her how she could have gotten up here, nor was I scaring them with security or yelling at them. Why the fuck did she keep on telling me that she didn't know it was a closed floor? I had a feeeling she wanted to blame me that she was on this floor.
And to go up 5 floors looking for si-fi books? Why not ask someone when you first walked in? Or when you go to the second floor and didn't see them, ask someone there? Or on the third floor? or the fourth floor? She obviously did a crap job looking on the first floor for the books. You would think she would be the one asking for directions.
