April foolishness

I've lived in my current apartment for over four years now, and, for three of those years, I've heard rumors that we were going to have new elevators installed.  We definitely need them.  Three days ago (not on April 1, or I would be very suspicious) every resident received a letter saying that we really are getting new elevators and the work will begin on April 6. It seems that the company contracted to do the work has been able to move us up on their list.  What a surprise.  To make us all happier with the fact that we will have fewer elevators available (they will work on one at a time) they are doing things to improve our longer wait time.  They have put a bench near the elevators on each floor so we can sit while we wait.  Of course the benches aren't six feet long so only one person will be able to sit at a time.  I hope all the doggies can handle the wait as they sit with their little legs crossed waiting to go out.  If the management really wanted to make our wait more pleasant they could install a help yourself wine bar on each floor.  Because of the Coronavirus they are urging us to not have more than two riders on an elevator at one time.  Actually, with everyone staying home, it might be a really good time to get these elevators replaced.  Time will tell and we seem to have plenty of that.
