So, back at work, since that is where I now a days update my blogg from.
I remember there being something I wanted to share with me today when I was at my apprentice place, but now, sitting here, with my computer in front me, I can’t for the life om me remember what that was!
So, moving along, my faith in the younger generations of XX’s of the world has been regained a little bit this week! All the wonderful people I’ve been talking to on the train home from work so far have been either been females of the retired kind, or males of all generations. Thus, no women of the non-grey haired kind.
I was starting to wonder why this was and started reflecting on why I didn’t talk to them as often. This is what I noticed: most of them look angry and/or grumpy, have headphones on, are talking on the phone, or just generally looking at me as if to dare me to talk to them. One girl whom I even knew from earlier looked unapproachable (although admittedly, i don’t know if I’ve ever seen her as approachable) and tried to keep it as short as possible. I know she was tired from a really long day at work, or maybe a bad day at work, but then it would still be nice with a smile, and “hey, cool to see you here! I have to admit though, I’m so tired from work today that I was hoping to get some sleep on the ride home, wake me up when we get to Helsingborg?” .
..Or anything other than the shortest possible replies to kill the conversation as soon as possible. But she’s not a friend, so it doesn’t matter. But it’s no surprise that girls can feel so unapproachable when even accquintances are so hard to speak to. I shouldn’t be so harsh though, because personally I don’t like to talk to people there’s a chance I’ll be meeting again either. I’m much to self-concious for that. I’m just one of the many out there I guess.
Anyhow, this monday, on my way to work I finally met girl/woman with an open demeanor! She smiled towards me as she sat down and actually replied to my opening que (something like “sorry, I’m an expert at spreading my things all around me”). Thinking that this could actually be one of those girls who don’t mind talking to strangers I went ahead and tried out the waters of this untried territory and there was success!
She was fascinating, and we had quite a few things in common I realized. As she got upp to get off the train she asked for my name and I realized all too late that I should have taken her number! …I mean it’s not like I have enough friends in this little town.
Sweet Kisses to all!
