I was very intimidated to work in downtown Phoenix because
the area is so congested with people and buildings. The streets are confusing because
certain streets only allow traffic to go one way, some streets only allow you
to turn left during specific times a day and there is virtually no parking.
Luckily my building is right off the freeway and I have a parking garage to
park in. Other Maricopa County offices/departments have to pay to park in a
parking garage and they do not get reimbursed. Luckily I get to park for free!

Today is Friday and I am at work until 5PM. I just got back
from an unexpected fire drill! I work to the top floor of a 10-story building that probably houses over a
thousand people. Fire drills are always so chaotic and I would hate to see what
would happen during a REAL emergency! Most women dress professionally and that
included high-heeled shoes. It is very difficult to go down 10 flights of
stairs wearing high heels. Not to mention the fact that hundreds of other
people are trying to go down the stairs at the same time as you.

Thank you for such an insight and it is unfortunate that this things take place but you articulated yourself pretty well. I enjoyed reading your blog.
ReplyDeleteHi Kristina, I live in Downtown and absolutely love it. That being said, I still sometimes get a little turned around. In fact, I was having trouble over the weekend because they closed a section to set up the ice rink. I live further north, and always see people driving the wrong direction. I would love to work downtown so I could ride my bike and not have to worry about parking and fighting with traffic!
