Each week is filled with memorable people. I get to meet people from all over the world and even though the faces start to run together, every once in a while there are some that just make you laugh out loud.
We happened to have a few such encounters the other night. I don't usually work nights, but Sat night Tony and I were working late and he stopped a lady to ask her for some information - "Are you over 18?" In bobble head fashion, she nodded yes. "Do you work here?" No, again bobble headed. "Did you eat breakfast, lunch or dinner here?" (The head was working over time) Yes. And before he could ask her another question, moving to within two inches of Tony's face, she blurted out, with two fingers held high in a "V" shape, "I VOTED FOR KERRY!!!" and walked on down the concrete toward the Exit. For the rest of the night, Tony and I HAD to use that as a response to most any question that we asked each other. We had a ball laughing.
Also that night, I was talking with a mother who was holding a child about 2 years old with another child, about 5 years of age, in a stroller. The younger child was babbling while we talked and the only thing I could make out was "water park." So I asked him if he was going to the water park. The older child spoke up and said, "No we're not going to the water park. We've already been; that's why my butt is so wet." That was my excuse for the rest of the night when something would go wrong. (I have found it helps to have excuses ready.)
[There should be a law against having this much fun at work.]
