Depressing
Was riding the elevator down to the main floor so I could get a bit of fresh air -- feeling a bit drab today, so the crisp winter air is serving as a revitalizer -- and this terribly sad thing happened.
Door opens on the fifth floor and two women walk on. One is barely holding in the tears and the other looks...not entirely sympathetic.
I turned to the window to give her what little privacy you can get in an elevator, and as the tears start to fall in earnest I caught fragments of stuff like, "I can't believe this" and "I thought everything was so good" and the like.
On the main floor, I let them get off first and see her beign led to the security desk where she hands in her security card. The other woman gives her a brief hug and says (and I shit you not), "When one door closes, another opens!"
Crying girl wanders off down the street. I watch after her until I can see she's cognizant enough to look both ways before crossing the street then come back to my desk.
Now I totally feel bummed out.
