Elevator Etiquette at work??

So is it wrong when you step into an elevator that someone asks you the floor you are going to? Should you ask when people enter the elevator you are in?

I stepped into the elevator at work today and the person inside did not ask me what floor. So I had to reach in front of her and press the button myself. I guess the funniest part was that she dropped her cell phone and almost everything else that she was carrying…. So maybe if she pressed my floor her phone would not have fallen??
What is elevator etiquette ???
In Europe people say hello to each other when they enter and goodbye when they leave…….
In the US we…..

On Marriage….The Prophet – Khalil Gibran

This poem was read at our wedding by my uncle.

On Marriage

Then Almitra spoke again and said…
“And what of Marriage, master?”
And he answered saying:

You were born together,
and together you shall be forevermore.

You shall be together when the white wings
of death scatter your days.

Aye, you shall be together even in the
silent memory of God.

But let there be spaces in your togetherness,
And let the winds of the heavens dance between you.

Love one another, but make not a bond of love.
Let it rather be a moving sea between
the shores of your souls.

Fill each other’s cup but drink not from one cup.
Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf.

Sing and dance together and be joyous,

but let each of you be alone,

Even as the strings of a lute are alone
though they quiver with the same music.

Give your hearts, but not into each other’s keeping.
For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts.

And stand together, yet not too near together.
For the pillars of the temple stand apart,

And the oak tree and the cypress
grow not in each other’s shadow.
 

 
Entonces, Almitra habló otra vez: ¿Qué nos diréis sobre el Matrimonio, Maestro?

Y él respondió, diciendo:

 

Nacisteis juntos y juntos para siempre.

Estaréis juntos cuando las alas blancas de la muerte esparzan vuestros días.

 

Sí; estaréis juntos aun en la memoria silenciosa de Dios. Pero dejad que haya espacios en vuestra cercanía.

Y dejad que los vientos del cielo dancen entre vosotros.

 

Amaos el uno al otro, pero no hagáis del amor una atadura.

Que sea, más bien, un mar movible entre las costas de vuestras almas.

 

Llenaos uno al otro vuestras copas, pero no bebáis de una sola copa.

Daos el uno al otro de vuestro pan, pero no comáis del mismo trozo.

 

Cantad y bailad juntos y estad alegres, pero que cada uno de vosotros sea independiente.

Las cuerdas de un laúd están solas, aunque tiemblen con la misma música.

 

Dad vuestro corazón, pero no para que vuestro compañero lo tenga.

Porque sólo la mano de la Vida puede contener los corazones.

 

Y estad juntos, pero no demasiado juntos. Porque los pilares del templo están aparte.

Y, ni el roble crece bajo la sombra del ciprés ni el ciprés bajo la del roble.

The lyrics to the song my husband and I walked into our reception on the day we married two years ago

Tu y  Yo

Tu y yo,
nos amamos de verdad
y hemos hecho de un lugar, un hogar… tu y yo
El mejor tiempo de mi vida han sido estos año que he pasado junto a ti, mi corazón
Cuantas cosas no hemos vivido,
Cuantas glorias y derrotas tu y yo

Unidos para siempre porque nos amamos,
y el uno a otro nos necesitamos,
por el amor de todos estos años
te quiero dar esta canción
Tu sabes que este amor a sido hecho a mano
así como los buenos artesanos
Con mucho pulso y mucho cuidado y dedicación
te digo….

Mira que bonita, que puede ser la vida ahorita
aprovechemos que nos brinda la compañia tuya y mia
que esta casa necesita de ti pa’ que este mas bonita
Aprovechemos vida mía, que nos amamos sin medida

Tu y yo….
Que nos amamos tu y yo…
Que nos deseamos tu y yo…
Hasta la muerte tu y yo….

Tu y yo,
nos amamos de verdad
y hemos hecho de este amor, un valor… tu y yo
Desde que a mi vida entraste tu
nunca antes habia estado tan feliz, mi corazón
Cuantas cosas no hemos vivido, cuantas glorias y derrotas tu y yo

Unidos para siempre porque nos amamos,
y el uno a otro nos necesitamos,
por el amor de todos estos años
te quiero dar esta canción
Tu sabes que este amor a sido hecho a mano
así como los buenos artesanos
Con mucho pulso y mucho cuidado y dedicación
te digo….

Mira que bonita, que puede ser la vida ahorita
aprovechemos que nos brinda la compañia tuya y mia
que esta casa necesita de ti pa’ que este mas bonita
Aprovechemos vida mía, que nos amamos sin medida

Tu y yo….
Que nos amamos tu y yo…
Que nos deseamos tu y yo…
Hasta la muerte tu y yo….

You and me

You and I,
we really love each other
and we’ve made a home together…you and me
The most beautiful time of my life were theese years that I’ve spent with you, sweetheart
We’ve lived so many things
We’ve had so many glories and defeats

Bonded for ever because we love each other
and we need each other
in the name of the love of all theese years
I want to give you this song
You know this love was handmade
just the way good craftsmen work
With lots of pulse, care and dedication
I’m telling you…

Look how beautiful life can be now
let’s make the most of the fact it toasts for us being together
because this house needs you to look more beautiful
Let’s make the most of the fact we love each other with no limits

You and me…
We love each other…
We desire each other…
Till death do us part, you and me…

You and me,
we really love each other
and we’ve made something valuable out of this love…you and me
Till the moment you’ve entered my life
I’ve never been so happy before, sweetheart
We’ve lived so many things together, so many glories and defeats, you and me

Bonded for ever because we love each other
and we need each other
in the name of the love of all theese years
I want to give you this song
You know this love was handmade
just the way good craftsmen work
With lots of pulse, care and dedication
I’m telling you…

Look how beautiful life can be now
let’s make the most of the fact it toasts for us being together
because this house needs you to look more beautiful
Let’s make the most of the fact we love each other with no limits

You and me…
We love each other…
We desire each other…
Till death do us part, you and me..
