Life as a Suzal

So I’m in the middle of cleaning my stove when some interesting conversation tidbits from yesterday popped into my mind. As I mentally replayed it, I decided it was worth leaving my stove soaking for a minute to try to share the experience I had.   I was at the post office yesterday waiting in a long line in which everyone was exasperated at the snail like pace. I froze in line and just started listening to bits of conversation around me. Each person talking had a reason for being there, a person they were mailing something to, a matter of business that needed taking care of, and a life to get on with.

I will try my best to give a good representation of all of the different conversations going around me at once, exactly as I heard it, each sentence bouncing from person to person. The dialogues were spoken from a man in front of me, the clerk at the window, a lady cutting in line asking about stamps, and the manager: “Are you kidding me? This is ridiculous!”  “But sir, the limit is 60 pounds, oh you barely made it, but I need-”   “Ma’am how much is this-” “She’s cutting doesn’t she see the line?” “This is nuts. I shouldn’t have come.” “I know ma’am but I just have a quick question-” “Not believing this!” “Yes I taped it already” “Can’t we get more help with this-” “She just got someone” “I can take the next person in-” “Finally!”

I don’t know if you could imagine yourself there or not, but I just thought it was interesting all the thoughts going around at once in no particular order.  =D I didn’t take a picture of the post office… SO here is a snapshot from a fun-romantic-weekend-getaway with Lukas of me shooting at Victor and Elisabeth Lee’s wedding!
