why is it that people don't talk to each other in elevators? it's a long way down from the 25th floor to the 1st floor and the whole way down none of us said a word... it's very peculiar.

ah, what was i doing up on the 25th floor? well, i was interviewing for a job. i think it went well - i was able to intelligently answer all of their questions (well, except for the bit about what exactly the company does, but i don't think that hurt too much). much more damaging is my weird class schedule that has me in class all day for four days in a row and thus unable to go to work. that is not so good.... really not very marketable no matter what spin you put on it. but i'll hear about it in a day or two.
...
perhaps i should return to the drawing board sooner. i really need to find myself a job - or we really won't see anything of this country than this overgrown suburban sprawl.

People who ride elevators live in the CITY. People who live in the city are unfriendly and don't talk, therefore people who ride elevators don't talk. QED.

I have been in class with 18 people none of whom have spoken to me, or I to them, in the last three months. I will depart my class come May with no clue of the name of the person behind me or across from me.

Sad? Perhaps.

(People who talk in elevators tend to be nutjobs. This stereotype has gotten out, you see, and no one is about to violate it.)
