Actual conversation.
Woman at Elevator: Do I press 2 to go up?
Miss Information: This is the top floor. You can only go down.
Woman at Elevator: I just want to go one flight up.
Miss Information: There is no floor above this one.
Woman at Elevator: How do I go up?
Miss Information (points at sky which is visible through skylight): There is no up.
Woman at Elevator: Oh, I see. So, how do I get upstairs?
Eventually she manages to convince the woman to try down. Down probably has everything she’s looking for.

what passes for news... (via email)

mom: I remember the name *girl #1*, but don’t remember whose class she was in. *girl #2* was in your sister's class.
me: *finds attached 2 stories from local newspaper - omgolly they both got new jobs! how super-cool!*
me: *girl #1* was in my class. I find it disturbing that the current jobs of people who graduated from a town's high school over 6 years ago passes for news. That's called gossip. You find it on Facebook.
mom: Then you’re saying I shouldn’t send yours in? Gee, I had it all written out and everything.
mom: This is Lincoln. If anybody manages to make it through that high school and actually lands a good job, that’s news.
