2) George works on the thirty-third floor of the John Hancock building in an accounting firm. He does not like going up into high places and often holds his breath on the elevator ride to his office. His cubicle is located in the center of the office so that he does not have to look out the windows at work. His work is accurate and once he is at his desk he feels comfortable.
