Awkward Elevator Conversations, Part 1

Filed under: The Daily Grind — forbes @ 12:43

***Scene***

Doors open. Revealing me, standing business-casual dressed, variation of the same black wool jacket everyone in the world owns. In my hands are a giant shopping bag and an Easter Bunny head, hung from its ears on a hanger.

Woman enters with laundry basket. Looks at my bags, looks at me, looks back at my bags. Stares at me.

An uncomfortable silence fills the elevator. I look at my shoes, scuff my feet a bit.

It’s for work…

Uh-Huh

We had an Easter Egg Hunt in Dartmouth

Uh-Huh

Doors open. I thankfully get out as fast as I can. As the doors close, I hear laughter.

***Fin***

Other news: busy busy busy. Have a lot to write about. Really making huge progress with hockey stuff, have stuff for at least four articles, maybe more. Write more on weekend.
