Guest guest Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 Dear All: I was sent on an adventure to the post office this morning...adventure as in for whatever reason the documents I needed to pick up were mailed to a post office quite far away. While standing in line, one could hear the clerk in his robotic conversation with the customers. In a monotone voice he would say, " stamps, tape?. " It made no difference of what the customer was needing or the circumstance behind their visit to the post office. I said to the gentleman in front of me, " I wonder what your options will be. " He laughed and approached the counter. " Stamps, tape, envelopes " , the clerk sluggishly said. The customer turned around and smiled...as we knew I was next, and he was presented with 3 options, so what would mine be. I approached the counter and completed a lifeless transaction,(but with eyes wide, excitedly awaiting my options). Then came my selection...The clerk with very little reflection inquired, " stamps, tape, envelopes, magic marker. " My ears perked up. " Magic Marker? " , I chimed. At this point the clerk, Gary, actually looked up at me and made eye contact. His eyes went from dull to bright as I said, " hmm, well maybe it depends on just how magical that marker is! " With a big smile he replied, " it's pretty magical, when you write you can see what you have written. " He found this so humorous that he chuckled. I couldn't help but to laugh at him laughing at himself. We wished one another a good day, as the next person stepped up to the counter. As the door shut behind me I overheard, " Magic marker, anything else? " Love: ~Danielle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
