True Story

Once upon a time there was a little country girl with curly locks who moved to the big city. She was given a security pass to get through the locked doors at her office building and was warned not to use one of the staircases, because the security pass didn't work on that staircase. One day, she decided to be very brave and use the stairs even though she had previously always used the elevator because the warning about choosing the right staircase or being locked in forever scared her to death. She was feeling confident that day because she had just finished a project that the big trendy boss man had been impressed with. In her confidence, she felt she was finally ready to use the stairs. She remembered the warning, and with logic that only she understands, figured that if she got to the top of the staircase and realized there was no security swipe pad, she would simply go back down, admit defeat, and take the elevator. However, the ominous clunk of the lock behind her as she walked into the stairwell gave her chills, which proved valid when she got to the top (no swipe pad) and found a locked door, then turned and realized she couldn't get back out either. Ten shaky minutes and several hundred futile breaths later, she had sore knuckles from knocking on both doors, and she realized that she could die here and nobody would ever find her body! Shaky turned to pure panic as she started experiencing claustrophobia, a rare condition for someone from the wide open country air. Then, she made the life and death decision that she would walk all the way down the staircase to the lobby and pray for a way out. Let me tell you, that receptionist has never looked so good! haha. moral of the story... as an intern, you are always the dumb one. Never forget it.
