I had to take the pins out of the hinges with a quarter inch punch and a hammer. Then had the guys push the door over. (My office has a heavy metal door) fun fun

I had a friend get stuck in the office elevator at work for 6 hours.
When she got home she called the boss' answering machine to tell her she would be late the next day.
The next day she got written up for being late and 'neglecting her duties.'

I would have done the same if she called and said "I'm going to be late tomorrow since I was in the elevator for 6hrs".

Leaving messages in the voice mail, or answering machine, assuming that her boss will be ok with it, and thinking that she deserves to come in late because of what happened does not justify her action.

In most professional offices there is a thing called 'comp time' and the gist of it is that you are paid a salary and expected to complete so many hours of time each week - not by the day.
This is a woman who was working an average of 60 hours a week at minimum and her boss was just a 'dick.'
In my career, I have always left when I wanted and returned when I wanted. If I felt like going to a movie in the middle of the afternoon, I would. The only requirements have been that I let the boss know what is going on, I get my work done, I make up my time, and I don't miss deadlines or meetings.
I'm sorry you have to be chained to your desk,
but not all people/offices work that way. Are the people in your job class exempt or non-exempt? Salaried or hourly?
