Listen to STA's President Roach and Director of Education/Secretary Peter Grech ON CITYSCAPE!

WFUV - CITYSCAPE

So who exactly is leaving the building? :-)

DOORMAN AND DOORMEN

This is an interesting take on what doorman actually is...while it is not in the job description, it surely makes sense.

DOORMAN

What am I exactly?
I am a therapist.
I am a babysitter.
I am a friend.
I am a companion.
I am a wake-up call.
I am a weather reporter.
I am a dog walker.
I am a cat sitter.
I am an apartment sitter.
I am a mailman.
I am a conversationalist.
I am a a sponge for complaints.
I am a link between the super & residents.
I am the first line of defense.
I am the last to leave in an emergency.
I am a New York City doorman.
But at home I am what I am, just a man.

All Visitors MUST be Announced!

Why do people assume that when they call the resident they're visiting
on the phone while entering my building that they can just walk
through without being announced.

NOT HAPPENING!!!!!

That sign on top that's in every lobby of a doorman building is there
for a reason!!!!!
