So today, I got locked out of the apartment (which is easy to do since it is card key entry) and had to go to the apartment office and get the girl at the front desk to let me in. Turns out she's really cool!
So when trying to make a good first impression, usually good conversation is key.
Well, as we walked to the apartment we talked about the weather and how nervous I am about the impending doom that is to come. She agreed that there was no way for me to prepare for it, although last year's winter was REALLY bad compared to normal winters. (kinda made me feel a little better, although, not much) I then asked about the road conditions and such as I am not use to driving in snow or ice (although my previous home town had the occasional snow and ice). She informed me that they do plow a lot of the roads and pretty frequently. I then said, "OH, GOOD! As long as I'm able to get to the store for my pasta and bread!"
What... The... Hell did I just say??! Can I just take back that last 15 seconds of my life???! normal people wouldn't have gone over their most frequently purchased shopping list items... Right??! That's not normal. That's wierd. Pasta and bread?? really??? how about milk and eggs, or cereal, or hey, think about someone other than yourself and say DOGFOOD! ugh! I guess I was socially unavailable at that point in time.
She just laughed, and agreed. hm. We then carried on conversation of random blah-d-blah and such for another 2 minutes before I thanked her for coming down to let me in. She opened the door, and she went back to her office. I thought it was kinda cool for her to just hang out on my stoop and talk to me. She didn't seem to be in a hurry or irritated by having to come down. Up here, people just take their time doing things, and when they do them, there is little to no customer service. So for her to actually take the time and be really nice, really made my day.
Now, I sure hope that I keep her as my friend. Because she's fun to talk to. :) ...and it would be really cool to know someone here now. :)
