stormdogAnd a post from yesterday, while I was at the university campus waiting for Miriam:
---
Miriam is teaching in a large lecture hall that doesn't have an obvious accessible entrance for the lecturer. Because she is still getting a handle on her capabilities, and she's never been in these rooms, she didn't think about asking for accommodations beyond an acceptable chair.
Navigating the stairs down to the lecturer's position with the wheeled cart she uses for her laptop and HEPA filter can cause her significant pain depending on how she's doing that day. The current solution is that I will come in with her, get her stuff down the stairs, then hang out in a little room in back of the lecturer hall until class is done. Then I'll help get her stuff back up the stairs and find somewhere to sit in the room she holds office hours in for another hour.
I figured I'd use the time to work on my queer TotK fanfic, but it turns out there are no power outlets in here for a laptop. I had just figured there would be, given the setting, but no luck. So I'm just sitting here with my phone, listening to a loud 60hz hum coming from what I think is a heater, or an associated junction box. I do see a mystery door here though, and I'm hoping it might lead to a basement that is elevator accessible. If Miriam is up to being here longer, I'll do a little exploring.
ETA: alas, the mystery door just leads to a short hallway to some stairs. There is an elevator of some sort in this room too, but the door is industrial looking and only four feet tall. It's probably for equipment.
