For the love of people

People are amazing. A small part of my job is interacting with the public that comes to our office. Deliveries, mail, clients, and yes even folks that are lost.

Edwin McCain is performing in our town tonight. You might remember his romantic hit “I’ll be”.

Our office had a discussion about this song earlier. It holds a special place in a co-workers heart.

The mail carrier comes in and is asking about the insane amount of traffic. Always, the first thought is a wreck on the interstate.

I had no answer for this question. But as I think about it now, you can usually tell if it was a wreck by the sheer volume of semi traffic.

“Well it could be because of the concert tonight. He only had one song. I don’t know what he’s going to do for the full 2 hours.” It almost seemed (by the tone of voice) that the whole situation was a huge inconvenience.

I got so tickled. The mail carrier was unaware of our office conversation and how this song was special to my co-worker. How plans were in the works to enjoy this concert to the fullest.

The sure contrast between the mail carriers irritation and my co-workers joy was an amazing combination.

And of course, I have that song stuck in my head. EAR WORM!

Now you can have an ear worm too.
