So today, I had to work in a different station.<\/p>\n
Two of us four were out. So i had to go up front and interact with the customers and my one co-worker.<\/p>\n
Customers, I don’t mind. My co-worker I don’ t mind either, but he may not feel the same way.<\/p>\n
See, I know this. I know this about myself. It is kind of a dangerous thing to leave me alone with someone for a long period of time. I know this, and yet it is very very hard to change the course of events.<\/p>\n
Because eventually something is going to come out of my mouth. I<\/strong><\/em> don’t know what I’m going to say. I start out in perfect peace and quiet, but eventually something is going to fall out of my mouth.<\/p>\n I’ve heard the maxim ‘Never discuss politics or religion.’ I don’t think that is true anymore, but even so, I’m not likely to bring those two up.<\/p>\n I don’t know what I will bring up. My head has a stream of thoughts running through it constantly.<\/p>\n And it seems unfriendly to just not talk<\/em> for hours at a time. isn’t a little light conversation a happy thing?<\/p>\n Of course, one person’s ‘light’ is another person’s collapsing black hole.<\/p>\n I know this. I know this. But I can’t help it. And there is a part of me that feels like talking about what’s running through my mind is a sort of conversational largesse.<\/p>\n Is it fair that I have a thousand interesting topics that spring to mind when a bit of conversation would be nice, while others have such a poverty?<\/p>\n How often must we discuss the same worn-out topics? Lunch? The weather? Traffic? please. I can do better than that.<\/p>\n So today, we talked about:<\/p>\n * Reforming Mexico Now frankly, I knew I’d been holding forth for a while. I wanted to try to lighten it up.<\/p>\n so I said, “OK if you were an orphan, would you be more interested in finding your mother or your father?”<\/p>\n “I don’t know. Both.”<\/p>\n “Okay, because I was watching a show about Star Wars, and I realized Luke didn’t give a crap about his mom. He was all about his father.”<\/p>\n So we talk about this for a while, me thinking that this is about as shallow a topic as any I could encounter. Which is higher, a Jedi or royalty, etc. Until he says:<\/p>\n “STOP! You are NOT going to spoil this movie for me! I LOVE STAR WARS! JUST STOP IT.”<\/p>\n So today, I had to work in a different station. Two of us four were out. So i had to go up front and interact with the customers and my one co-worker. Customers, I don’t mind.
