137. The main building

Monday, December 29, 1975; I came to my work at 7:30 AM, as usual at that time. It was the first working day after Christmas Eve, which was Wednesday, December 24. It is in the evening December 24, that we celebrate Christmas Eve in Norway. At that evening, we had been together with my family, at home, at the place where I grew up. Thursday and Friday were public holidays. Saturday and Sunday were common holidays. Therefore, Monday was the first working day after Christmas Eve, this year in 1975.

Normally I worked together with another electrician, but these days between Christmas and New Year’s Eve, I worked alone. I think I also worked alone Friday, January 2. Thursday, January 1, was also a public holiday. First, I went through an entryway and into a backyard. There was a separate building in the backyard. I think this building had four stories, including the loft; and we used the loft as our changing room, there we had our closets, etc. This building didn’t have an elevator. It was an old‐fashioned building.

As normal, I went up to the changing room, and put on my working clothes. After that, I went down and out on the street. On the other side of the street, and just round the corner, I went in by the personnel entrance. The employees used this door. There was a guard by this entrance, who knew who he should let in.

This was the main building of the bank, which had many other buildings around in this area of the city. It was a monumental building, build in 1925. It had a decorative facade in the first floor, towards the sidewalks on three sides. The first floor was built of formed stones. The three sides; were the side with the personnel entrance, the cross street, and the next parallel street. In the next parallel street, the bank had its monumental entrance for the customers, a large decorative entrance, with four stories high columnar sections, with a smaller door into the first floor.

This day, I went in through the personnel entrance as normal. The security guard recognized me, and let me in. This building has six stories. I used an elevator.

For me, the most important was to know the way inside this building, to the place where I worked. I cared about my own work, and I didn’t care about what was around me. The only thing I remember, was that our contact in our company, said that this was a room, which hadn’t been used. I also remember, that the contact said, that this was near to the administration.

When the person came and asked me to come with him, he said that this was something, which was close by. When we walked to that place, it was a short way to walk. It was at that place, that these influences were done against me.
