Getting to a countdown crosswalk with less than 5 seconds left.

I absolutely hate when I walk up to an intersection, and I see that the way I want to cross has 3 seconds left on it.  I can't tell if I want to run to make it, or wait what can sometimes be forever for it to change again.  It's like when an elevator physically has room for one more person, but it would be uncomfortable, and you would have to be facing someone the whole way up/down.  It's just annoying and awkward sometimes.

Also, in the right hand column, I have added a new logo/promo.  If you want to include it in your social networks/blogs, go ahead.  I would love some publicity.  Also, in the top left of the page, you can share this page to twitter or Facebook.  Thanks!

P.S.- I hit 3500 views today! Thanks for reading!

Fine Friday IV: Elevators.

Today's post revolves around elevators.  Some elevators are truly a dream.  For example: glass elevators in an atrium.  But then you run into elevators in parking garages, old buildings, and the worst: dorms.  Another problem I have with elevators is speed.  Luckily the ones in my dorm (27 stories) are pretty fast.  Usually the worst offenders are parking garages.  Usually if my climb is less than 5 stories, I'll just take the stairs.  Sometimes that isn't possible though (see this post).  But sometimes you step into an elevator, and it smells nice, everything is clean, and the light music puts you in a generally cheery mood.
