last summer I worked in the St. Charles's Church. Inside they built up an elevator which went to the top and I had to control it.
one evening, my boss warned me, that the first lady would pop around and I should read the quick guide again. I never did and finally, she came, conducted by two bodyguards. On the way up, it took us about one minute, she asked me about the absolute height of the building. I had no idea, so I made it up. I told her the St. Charle's Church is about 240 meters high. at that point it sounded quite reasonable to me. but after I told her so, I looked into a confused face.
"But the St. Stephen's Cathedral (highest cathedral in Austria in the centre of Vienna) is about 136 meters high."
I told her this is relative.
it was my last day of work at the St. Charles's Church
In the end, I wasn't fired because of this, but there was always money missing in the cash, after I drew up the account.
