Floor

The freight elevator both interests and frightens me. It’s old, like everything else here, so I worry about getting stuck in it. On the other hand, it’s got an appealing patina of wear. The finish on the floor in front of the control panel is completely worn away and the tiles are cracked. It took a lot of feet standing in that spot to do that.

Everything where I work is worn out, mismatched, and was probably bought sometime in the 1970s. It’s kind of an eyesore, but on the other hand, we have the freedom to tart up our desks, chairs, and book trucks pretty much however we choose. I’ll take “worn out and personalized” over “brand new and uniform” any day of the week.
