Simultaneously hilarious and tragic.

I do hope this wasn’t after a company lunch at a mexican joint.

45 minutes. Bit hot and sweaty, but everyone made it out OK. Thanks, Seattle Fire & Rescue!

I worked with a guy who got stuck in his apartment building’s elevator (about 20 years ago now). He waited patiently for two hours before using the phone in it to call for help.

I guess elevators are like airplanes: you don’t want a large number of your employees on the same one.

Gee Dan, are you really that tall? :rolling_eyes:

New company policy; only half of the company in the elevator at any one time.

6’4". :wink:

Is that Eva sitting on the floor making their own little personal space? :wink:

It was about 10 degrees cooler at that level #lifehacks

I’ve worked for companies that have a policy about key people taking the same flights, but I bet Glowforge is going to be the first company with a “no more than two key people on the same elevator” rule!
