If you were an enchanted librarian, you could magically silence noisy patrons by making a strip of tape appear over their mouths.

No. In real life, I'm very quiet. The internet brings out a whole other side of me. One that I'm not always proud of, I must admit.

I'm a lot shyer in real life, too. I often come across as being very outgoing, but I'm actually scared to death of starting conversations with people I don't know in unstructured social settings.

IRL, if you asked me, "Are you outgoing or introverted," my likely answer would be, "What day is it?"

Rocky, I'm the same way about conversations with strangers in awkward circumstances. That's one of the reasons I don't like riding elevators.

Usually when I'm in an elevator with people I don't know, I only say what is necessary to be polite ("Five, please"; "Excuse me" etc.).

I'm partial to Zippy's conversation starter: "Are we having fun yet?"
And it just hit me: I don't think I've worked in any establishment that has elevators in about a year now. Weird.

It's been seven-and-a-half since I worked in a building with an elevator. That was when I left our Central Library and went to managing a branch.

There's a German horror movie about an elevator titled "The Lift." It's one of the few 80s horror movies I haven't seen yet.

I was trapped in an elevator for 45 minutes with a colleague once. We played Twenty Questions to pass the time.

I secretly always wanted to live on the 13th Floor.
