Ramp Logic
Every time someone at my job gets upset about the job, I just tell them to look out the front door.
We're on the third floor in our building. There is a regular elevator, a service elevator, and a stairway leading to the front door. I take the stairs. Every day I walk up the two flights and open the door to the hallway in which everyone scans his or her ID card to enter the doors. But before I can get to the door, I have to walk to the left, up this wheelchair ramp. It's a long ramp, but it only takes me about four or five inches up in height. There could easily be a single stair, but I suppose the company didn't want to get sued for not having wheelchair access.
Wheelchair access to a stairway.
It's a good job. And I do prioritize it, because I like to pay the mortgage on time, and I like to eat. You just can't get too upset about a place that can't afford mouse pads, but puts a wheelchair ramp at the head of a stairway.
