How to get out of the Back Office?

I am literally trapped inside Goldman's back office.
On the 8th floor of 30 Hudson Street. Went there to visit a friend on Friday and must have fallen asleep waiting. I have no idea how to get out. All of the lights are off, the doors are locked. My phone is out of batteries. This place is a maze.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

First, go into the bathroom. In the bottom-right corner of the mirror, you'll see a hairline crack. Double-click there to find a small screwdriver. Next, check behind the sink for a piece of wire. Now, go to the lounge. Flip the lights off and on twice. In the NW corner, you'll see a series of numbers written in phosphorescent paint. Memorize these! Now, go into the MD's office. Behind the filing cabinet, there is a safe. Use the code from the break room to open and take out the envelope. DON'T look in the envelope. Finally, head for the stairwell door. Use the screwdriver and wire to pick the lock. Once you're out, meet me at the 1674 Broadway with the envelope.

 

Can you use one of the desk phones to try to call the front desk or do they need passcodes? The offices are usually open 24/7 with somebody manning the reception. If not, can you call your friend from a desk phone? Also, how are you on WSO right now? Can you email or chat your buddy or anyone? If not, you might have just cancelled all of your weekend plans.
