I Was Relieved... 😊 When She Came... 😃

I Was Relieved... 😊 When She Came... 😃

Note : A F F is deleting words in the . Please be patient.

The incessant buzz , of an air conditioner and the uninterrupted rattle , of the Coke machine - had numbed my brain. A beep warned me, my phone, was slowly dying. I closed it. The charger, was in the trunk of my car. My car, was in the repair shop. The repair shop waiting room, was where I sat. I sat there ... alone .

I looked around. An assortment of magazines, were scattered about, on a table. I picked one up ( 'Popular Science' ) and randomly, turned to an article ; 'Electric Cars... The Future Is Coming'. It was written in 2.0.0.7. "Alrighty... Let's try something else," I thought, as I picked up another.

'Time Magazine'... "Ahhh... they always, have stuff, that's interesting." I flipped to a piece titled ; 'Will Trump, Beat Hillary?'. Somehow... I already knew the answer, to that question. There was a dusty old phone book, on one of the shelves. I hadn't read a phone book in years, but I recalled the plot. I let it be. At that moment, she came ... into my waiting room and sat down. I was relieved... Someone to talk with... perhaps?

She was attractive... and smiled brightly at me. I smiled back and welcomed her, with an original question ;"Fixing your car?"

"Beklager. Jeg snakker ikke engelsk. Jeg er fra Norge," she replied while raising her hands and furrowing her eyebrows.

She didn't speak English. I don't speak, Norwegian.

I sat there, almost alone... and waited.

I counted... the fucking grimy, greasy, faded yellow... floor tiles. Five hundred and ninety four...

So...
Where are your WORST places, to wait? ðŸĪ”

Well.... if my cell phone doesn't die, then I can wait in that garage, just fine.
Worst? I'd say traffic, when you're in a rush. Then I'd say the doctor's or dentist's office. The constant phone ringing... the sanguine replies of those secretary types. And everyone is so sick? And no-one looks happy.
Not too many laughs in those places.

When I think about it... I don't really like waiting anywhere? ðŸĪ”
Does anybody? But thank goodness for my cell phone.... I'm much better now.
I would go NUTS, trying to amuse myself... back in the day! ðŸ˜Ū

I bet you were relieved until you realized she didn't speak your language or you hers.. I hope all is well with your car, and thanks for sharing this part of your day with us. I hate sitting around waiting for car repairs, and oil changes seem to take even longer these days.. I hope the rest of your day is an enjoyable one..

Seduce the mind and see what a wonderful adventure the body will take you on..

Hospital ðŸĨ emergency rooms. While the constant ebb and flow of people can be somewhat entertaining, usually are stuck sitting amongst the most ill and injured people.

Waiting anywhere is hell when I have to pee! Otherwise, I have no problems. I always bring a book along to places that make me wait.

Opportunity may knock only once, but temptation bangs on the door forever!

I usually bring a book along to anyplace I have to wait so it is not a lot different than reading at home. Waiting for Dr Appt or in Urgent care may be worst especially if you are the sick one.

If you see me in the real world, come say "Hi Justskin."

I always behave. Preferably not well.

Hospitals are fricken scary... and totally boring...
Do you read? Use your phone.. or what?
It's a huge pain... if you're actually in serious pain? Do you have to wait long, in your part of the country? ðŸĪ”

Yep... I hear you!

Often, there are too many distractions to read 📚. Used to be that cell phones were banned ðŸšŦ. Everyone gets triaged so wait times vary according to severity. However, arriving by ambulance 🚑 or mentioning you are a cardiac patient, usually gets you to the front of the line 👍
