Yep, we're stuck.

Then I decided I'd climb up and find the "secret roof hatch" that every elevator in every movie always has. Yeah, our elevator didn't have one.

....or at least let him humor himself. Jesus.

After Grant got a look at the pics he took of me looking for the hatch he said "Hey, you look cool up there! Now take some pictures of me! I want to climb up there and look cool too!" (Yeah, too bad you think I'm kidding). What could I do but humor the kid....

There's some fancy-schmancy couple who lives in our building - Grant tried to get their attention by screaming "HEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLP!" at the top of his lungs

Growing bored (and desperately needing some fresh air), I forced open the elevator doors to assess the situation.

After coming to the realization that we weren't going to die we decided we should probably start working on getting out the elevator. We pushed the "HELP" button and were promptly connected to repair company that maintains our elevator. The man we spoke to told us that he'd dispatched a mechanic and that he'd be there in 45-60 minutes. (45 minutes! Faaack! Keep in mind, we'd gotten in the elevator to go up to work because we both had to pee!). Further complicating matters, our building's front door is locked so the dispatch guy tells us we're going to have to get in touch with someone who can come down and let the elevator repair guy into our building.

Turns out, Grant had to do a little more than pee. He's all sitting in the corner scrunched up and I figure he's getting panicky again.

Nope! Turns out he was concentrating on not shitting his pants.

Too bad he couldn't have concentrated more on holding on to his noxious farts which promptly reached biohazardous levels in the 4' x 6' elevator.

Here's the first pic I snapped while Grant was still in what i believe is scientifically known as a full-on panic.
