LIFT FILMING UPDATE FOR FEBRUARY/MARCH 2019

February 2019

It is finally February 2019, another great (being sarcastic) month to look forward to (being sarcastic). In terms of lift filming, not much is in the plans for February 2019, other than my obvious birthday trip to Berkeley Heights, a township without rank on the Chicago Chattanooga Ranking System. In Berkeley Heights, I will hopefully be visiting the brand new Embassy Suites hotel to film some new lifts.

My expectations for the lifts

I expect to find boring generic MCE traction lifts. However, I have high hopes that I will find a Schindler 5500, a KONE HORNRTDISC, OTIS Gen2 or worst case scenario: a ThyssenKrupp Synergy/Evolution 200. I expect all landings to be locked off & I am actively preparing to face that scenario. However, if a few landings aren’t on restricted access, I may still film the lifts.

Likelihood of my birthday trip happening

My birthday trip does not have a very big chance of happening. I do NOT expect to film any lifts on the day that I turn 18 years old. However, if I DON’T film ANY lifts that I have never seen or been on (YouTube or RL), I will accept that too & save the special lifts instead for the graduation trip I’m planning for June 15/16 should I have PASSED THE ROAD TEST in March or April 2019 (EXTREMELY UNLIKELY).

March 2019

March 2019 will be a very interesting month. So far, 2019 has been slighty better than 2017, but not much. March 2019 will determine if 2019 is the same or WORSE than 2017. However, here lies an important event that the future of my lift filming career partially depends on:

Driving Test

In March 2019, on March 8, at 3:30 PM, I am going to be taking my driving test. Am I scared? I haven’t ever been more scared to do something. In fact, I’m so scared for this road test that I have been fearful of the worst ever since June 2018 when I originally started contemplating ramping up my lift filming days off of school. Not only do I expect to fail miserably on this driving test, but I am actively preparing to face this very scenario by ignoring all other scenarios. Basically, in a nutshell, I am doing myself good by preparing for the potential worst-case scenario.

However, in the highly unlikely/borderline impossible event that I should pass the road test & get my license ON MARCH 8, the plans I have for lift filming on March 9 (March 10 is the busy date) depend greatly on the number of tests & projects that I have the following week, along with the difficulty I’m expecting each test & the amount of homework I get that is due on Monday.

That said, it is borderline certain I shall fail the road test on March 8. If that happens, I may retake the test on March 22nd with the hope that I pass, but my expectations for failing will be much greater than my first try on the road test.

I will be back soon to discuss more lift filming plans after graduation that are valid only if I have my license by the said date of my next lift filming day!
