fourteen weeks without elevators

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Vancouver, 2002.07.26

The elevators in my building are working again. As best as I can figure, they were out for 14 weeks while two teams 'worked' on them. Fourteen weeks of exercise. Inexcusable.

Work is about a daily search for meaning as well as daily bread; for recognition as well as cash; for astonishment rather than torpor; in short for a sort of life, rather than a monday-to-friday sort of dying.
