YO-YO 1. A Brief Introduction Offhand, I can’t think of anyone who looks good in a purple suit, with the possible exception of Prince. And the jury remains out on that. Yet, here I am, resplendent in purple, pushing buttons and speaking only when I’m spoken to. Even the machine I pseudo-control has a voice, so the provision of basic, general information to uninterested individuals is something I don’t need to do. Unsure if I have an opinion about that. In case you haven’t worked it out, I’m a lift attendant. Quite ironic, given how Prince died, but I digress. What, I hear you cry, they still exist?
