My Own Questions

Admittedly, I have an inquisitive mind. I collect random pieces of trivia, particularly of the medical variety. I wonder strange things and then I often look them up online to satisfy my niggling curiosity.

Today one of my musings was satisfied. My building has about 18 elevators for the tower that I'm in. My series of floors has 5 devoted to it. Not too long ago I began to wonder how interiors of the elevator were vacuumed. I mean, I don't see any electrical outlets in the elevators themselves. And from experience I've learned that the elevators get decidedly angry and loudly protest when you try to keep the door open longer than deemed acceptable. Plus, wouldn't that require two people? One to prevent the doors from closing on the cord and being called to another floor and another to clean the carpet? My imagination was going a little wild.

As I disembarked its confines this morning I was greeted by a gentleman with a nifty contraption which instantly answered my query. A battery operated vacuum. And now I know. Brilliant!
