WoooWeee! Day 97 already? I need to get a hold of myself and make some sort of plan for this summer!

Today I had a management meeting at work at 8:15am, went to Panera afterwards with some of the gang, then went back to work to deliver food downtown (which I have a story about), came back to make more phone calls, blitzed the mall with coupons & then came home!
Ok, so the story about my delivery downtown, earlier today..I had to go to the Suntrust Building, which is the tallest building in Orlando if you did not know, so i drove around twice before I figured out where the parking garage was, then I had to go to the top level because thats where visitors parking is. Once at the top I began unloading all the food that I had onto this metal cart thing so I could just push it. I start walking to where I thought was the elevator, but no. The sign says, "Stairs to the Elevator". WHAT! This guy walks right past me with this look on his face that said, "I want to stick around and watch how you are going to do this." I was already pushing it close to the time of delivery so instead of sitting there thinking of driving the food down and then parking or some sort of crazy plan, I began walking down each level of the parking garage until I found an elevator. Two levels, tons of sweat, eight speed bumps and countless stares later I found an elevator! It was the most beautiful sight! Once I got into the elevator I had to go down to the street level (the parking garage isn't connect to the building...dumb, I know) I had to push the food down the street and into the Suntrust building. Confidently I walked right past the concierge/Security guy because I thought I knew what I was doing. I walked towards the elevator with my food in tote and once in the elevator I went to press #21, which is where I was headed. The numbers only went up to 15. I was so confused. So as I got out of the elevator, the wheels of my cart got stuck inside the crack between the elevator and the floor. Some guy attempted to help me but instead he knocked over my cart. -_-
At this point I was minutes away from our delivery time and was almost freaking out. So I went over the the Concierge/ Security guy who just saw the whole thing play out, and he said, "What floor are you trying to get too?" I told him 21 and he;s like, "Oh, the elevators to the top floors are on the other side of the building." I have never heard of this, how can they do this w/o posting a sign or something! I finally got into the elevator, which went all the way to floors 25 or 26! Thats a lot of floors! Once there everything went smoothly, I got to talk to some greatly important people. On my way down I began to realize that I had to push my cart up hill, two levels. Though the boxes and TMS (Basically a cooler that keeps things hot or cold) had no food in them, they were still heavy and the boxes had nothing to weigh them down so they were kind of going everywhere just walking on flat ground. I took the elevator to the highest level possible and I began my hike up two levels. I stripped off my cardigan, pulled my hair up in a ponytail. Thank goodness for all the wind it made it not so terrible. Once I got to my car and loaded everything up I had to take a minute breather to re-coupe. Non-the less, now that I know what to do when I get there and taking two people may be a better idea, I can truly walk in there confidently knowing where I am headed.
