Going up?

They've been working on the elevator in our main entryway for so long now, no one can remember any more when it was originally scheduled for completion. March? May? In fact, we thought they were all finished until a couple of workmen showed up earlier this week with a lot of shiny metal cladding that they're now screwing into place. At first I was surprised to see the elevator shaft done in black cinder block, but over time I'd grown used to it. After all, when your building is done in an architectural style called "Urban Brutalism", that hardly going to be the ugliest finish in it.

Two of the guys on the project are nothing special, but the third is a sweet little bear-in-training with blond furry arms, a goatee, and a pencil behind his ear. For the past half-hour, he's been standing directly in my line of view, mostly gazing upward at his co-workers and occasionally conveying them tools and supplies. At one point, they asked for a small orange square of something. He waited until no one was on the adjoining stairs and impishly frisbeed it up to them. Now the scaffolding is coming down, so I get to see him clambering over it. Now all we need is for his shift to get caught on it in the process... (So far, the best I've gotten is him limboing under the banister in my general direction--twice!)

D'oh! You caught me out!

(I swear, one of these days I'll get a cell phone that takes pics.)

Elevator workers

Every month a técnico comes to do monthly maintenance on the elevator in the building. He's a cute, chunky cub, with plenty of dark fur and that "stubble look". And always sweaty, no matter what the temperature. When he's done with his work he rings my doorbell and we chat for more time than he works. This week we chatted about the worldwide economic crises.

Ogling cute guys? That doesn't seem like you.
