    I work in a cool old building built in 1920's. Even the elevator is old school complete with an elevator operator (ie: a person takes us up). The elevator operator is an older cuban woman. She is an absolute jewel. She can't be any taller than 5 feet, hair that sticks out in every direction, and an accent that would make you think she arrived in the US yesterday (she's been here for 50 years). She always has a funny story to share which always ends with her wonderful loud laugh. My co-worker and I are 2 of the few lucky folks in the building that she cooks for. Just a few minutes ago she brought us both 2 cuban sandwiches a piece. One for us and one for our ladies. In the past she has brought us baked ziti complete with a greek salad with homemade dressing, rum cake (which I'm pretty sure was just a cake with a 5th of rum poured on top of it), and many more cuban sandwiches. She makes of copies of stories that she thinks I would enjoy (and I do). She talks trash about other not-so-friendly tenants (with a smile). She'll occasionally drop the f-bomb (which is always funny coming from a grandmother type). I love this woman.
