Question

Alright, so you just started working sitting at a desk taking calls at an office. The building is still under-constuction and your boss left a memo to drop a package off on the 4th floor, but the elevators are still being wired, so you have to take the stairs. Since none of the signs have been put up yet, your boss tells that the 1st and 3rd floors have seven flights of stairs, each flight having 9 steps and the 2nd floor has 12 flights of stairs, each flight having 12 steps. When you get to the 3rd floor your boss tells you that you should go through the exit doors and take a left. Another 7 flights of stairs is at the end of the hall. She tells you to do exactly what she said. Where are you standing now?

I would have to say that you're not standing at all and still sitting at your desk

"When you get to the 3rd floor your boss tells you that you"

This means you have already moved.

I think the punctuation was poor. The sentence probably should have read, When you get to the 3rd floor, your boss tells you, you should go through the exit doors and take a left.
