The lift

[jack]

Our building has two flights of stairs. Any more, and using the lift would seem entirely justified. When it only had one, I never bothered. Now I do either, depending what I feel like at the time.

But oddly, I go down the lift, but almost never come up in it. Which is backwards, because the lift naturally rests at the bottom, so going down you have to wait for it to come up. I think going up feels more like cheating :) Or maybe because standing around in the lobby feels stupid, but at the top its on its own corridor.

I wondered how best to phrase that, apparently this *was* confusing. No, three floors: ground, middle, and second, with a flight of stairs between each adjacent pair.

After all, with one fewer, I said I never bothered to use the lift, that *could* apply to a single-story building, but it would be a bit redundant :)

Ah of course. I feel so stupid now.

Don't worry, I thought that might be a problem but decided to hope for the best.
