When you get on the elevator and the button for your floor doesn’t work, I think you should be excused from going to work that day. I’m just saying.
Instead I got off on the third floor offices and walked up one.

You should have gotten off at the fifth floor and walked down one. Let the elevator and gravity do most of the work.
Unfortunately, the way the way the stairs work in this building, not all of them open out except in an emergency. (Seriously, I have never seen anyone walk down except from the second, third, or fourth floors.) Our office shares the third and fourth floors, with a connecting staircase within the office, so two of us just got off on three and walked up.
I feel the same way about power failures. Our last one last thirty minutes…surely that’s a ‘get out of work free’ scenario.
I think we’ve been let go early because of power failures, although it’s a rarity. We were sent home one time last summer when the air conditioning went out. Then again…you’re from the wilds of Canada, so maybe I have to explain what “air conditioning” is…? 😉
I sat in the dark for five hours once at work. I couldn’t do anything, because every single aspect of my job requires a computer, but could I go home? Noooooo.
