I’m a courier & I am consistently picking up & delivering packages.
- With this type of work, I have l received that I consistently must be prepared for whatever happens.
I have a backpack that I properly keep with me & I have a few essential items. I carry a few water bottles, popcorn, & I even have a small portable air conditioning system unit. I got into this habit of carrying a backpack full of things because I had a bad experience a long time ago when I was stuck in an elevator for a long time without any a/c, food, or water. It’s funny, recently, this happened to me again, although I was prepared! You would think that I would just take the stairs since I don’t honestly trust elevators, although I guess fantastic because I have my backpack with everything I need to get through that type of situation, and recently, I ended up being stuck on the elevator with a few others while I was trying to supply a package to the top floor. It was actually a power outage in the building that caused the elevator to stop. The backup light turned on however the elevator wouldn’t move. So, I calmly opened my backpack & brought out the portable air conditioning system unit. It was getting overheated in the elevator already, although I turned on the air conditioning system component & it started to cool everything down. The others asked me how I knew to bring a portable air conditioning system unit, & I told them this wasn’t the first time I had been stuck on an elevator. I even passed everybody some beef jerky & water bottles. The two of us were stuck for about an minute, & the two of us were relieved when the power finally came back on & the two of us were able to get off the elevator.
