Live Elevator Music

Barcelona-trekearth

Fourth Floor: During an evening corporate security patrol for the trillion dollar corporation, I hear coming from the washroom area, near the elevators, 'Happy Birthday to you' being sung sort of 'Marilyn Monroe' style with a female voice, as in Happy Birthday Mr. President, but just Happy Birthday to you, although I am not very familiar with the Monroe rendition.

I know enough that it was not the standard way of singing the song and it sounded professional.

I avoided the washroom, but searched nearby to see if there was a party of sorts, but saw none. I thought perhaps a woman was rehearsing in the washroom.

Third Floor: I walk the stairs to the third floor and once again from the washroom area near the elevators hear Happy Birthday to you. I once again search and find nothing. I continue...

Second Floor: Again the singing continues from the washroom area near the elevators but this time a female employee enters the washroom, When she exits, I kindly ask her if she was alone in washroom. She states yes and I then explain the situation.

She opines and theorizes that the singing is perhaps from a mobile phone ringer from a mobile phone, possibly left from an office party.

I reason that seems plausible and take the elevator to P5 in the garage which has P4, P3, P2, between G, 2, 3 and 4 on the main floors, and 4 is where where I started my evening patrol.

A total of eight floors.

When I arrive via elevator at P5, through the glass part of the door, I see a female employee in her car in a black dress facing my direction holding her mobile phone to her mouth with her car window open singing Happy Birthday to you.

Yes, the sound travelled the eight floors up the elevator...

I informed her she sounded very good, but I was wondering who it was. She seemed embarrassed and stopped immediately although I informed her it was not necessary.
