The morning was not so very cold..just pleseant..I entered our office building n waited for the lift 2 arrive on my floor. It was silent..nothing unusual. There is nobody working on the ground floor of my office building...I heard the "tinnnngggg" of the lift arriving at my floor. The door opened..there was no1 in it..nothing unusual..Most of D ppl in my office arrive at 0800Hrs..n Im D only late bird tat arrives at 1000Hrs...I entered D lift n pressed the button 2 reach the 9th floor...nothing unusual...I do that everyday...The lift door started its way together...Nothing unusual ....just ten I saw a figure hurry inside the building...As chivalry (or wotever) I stopped D lift...Nothing unusual...I wud do tat in a similar situation always...Ven D shadow became a figure, it turned out 2 be a lady..short..red hair..round face..dressed in red and black..I'd never seen her before in this building. She entered...heavily breathing...looked like she'd been runnin for a mile...In between her breath she said..."Danke.."...I smiled in recognition...she then embarked in the longest conversation Ive every had in german..her hands moving wild...I guess she was tellin me she missed her train...she then described how she reached D office...her actions told me tat she had taken a lift frm sum1 on D way....tat person seemed 2 hav dropped her at the close-by crossroad..and frm ter she had been running...Her floor arrived...she said "choos" and walked away...I smiled.....Nothing unusual....There are so many ppl in this office who assume I speak german....And for such short-duration conversations....I never care 2 tell them....hey, I did not understand a word of wot u said....Offcourse it is nothing unusual...how cud I embarrass them rite?
