Going up?

It was late in the afternoon, I was alone, it was already dark and the Friday afternoon traffic was crazy. I parked the car and made my way into the building when I found myself looking at this cool old elevator, I needed to move a table up one floor. I'd never been in this building before and I have never operated one of these funky old elevators and there was no one else around.
I realized pretty quickly you just read the signs. Keep the gate closed. Stop. Bypass. Up. Down. Press the button and it does what it's supposed to, let go of the button and it stops moving. It all just worked the way it was supposed to.
I find comfort in that.
