[A-one]

Today I got this weird day, that everythig just seem to fit in as it should be.. (or not?) It was really awkward in a way, but it made me smile though...

I was to take some clothing back home from a small ironing and clothing repair services store. At the store there was a blind man sitting near the counter. He had long hair which was stuffed together in a tail with a lot of hairwax. His suit was a bit oldfashioned combined with a tie that was completely over the top and wrong. However he got my attention somehow.
So therefore I asked him in a common way if he was here for being there or waiting, just a common-nonsense question to start a polite conversation with.

However he responded in a nice way and said, he was here just for sitting here, he seemed to be familiar with the people who worked there.

Then he just asked, "Are you shy?" And surprised and a bit stunned as I was, I said to knock down that question in one answer: "Yes, -al-ways!" And I laughed. (Since, of course I can be shy -sometimes-, but of course not always..)

Then he said: "You're thinking too much, you shouldn't do so, since your head is so chaotic then..."

But the blind man was able to say this so out of the blue... And the strange part was, he was -absolutely- right..

Before I started talking to this man, I have been talking with people from the store first. Not only about the clothing to pick up, I was also advising another customer with some well-meant statements about some knotted-ties he was having made there.
(The ties were tied together with an elastic cord and some adhesive-detachable-strip. I was telling him that it could only be good, -since they were used at a party- because it was so easy to detach them from your neck after a few beers....)
Perhaps... I -could- have been talking a bit fast bfore, or was it the advise?... *makes me think* -again?!-


"How old are you?" was the next question. Since I was convinced not to fall for his charmes -at all- I suggested him to guess.. Well.. he was only 3 years wrong then...

"What do you do for work?" At the moment I was completely smiling since this conversation in the store was so strange and so different from most others I ever had...

"Well I'm doing research-work with a technical aspect.." -Okay- I admit, I gave him this short answer, but it's correct though.. and after all, he still was the stranger...

Then he started murmling and what I could hear were exactly the things I'm thinking of my work right now... He just said what I thought and have been talking about for some time..

And what that is? Well, I'm thinking my work isn't the right choice at the moment.. a thing that could happen to anyone..
Some terms about that:
- I'm too cosey (how on earth do you spell that) -or is it warm-hearted?- for my small team.. they are so -not me- They -do- actually like me a lot.. but I think I -just- don't suit them..
- There's too much to learn in a hectic environment, to me there's a limit of understanding..

You know what the man said? "Drama...., drama..., it's no good.."
Nor did he just stated the kind of work I do very precisely and also my feelings about it...

So, there I was.. standing in this small shop, surrounded by hand-made tailor-suits.. being perplex...

"Well what can I do about it?" was my next best try to clear all the fuziness he created..

Unfortunately the blind man said, "Well, I don't know, it's too complicated..." I'm not sure anymore what he added after this, but it was in that same direction.. and perhaps they were things pointing towards me, to do something about it myself...

I did answer something I don't quite know anymore, but surprised I was..

------------

All right then, I know it's all about my interpretation, of "the moment"..
And how I react in a situation..... but, it was awkward indeed...!

But at the end though, I made up my mind about my work... And -that- made me smile...

Hey A-one! That's a great story...it sounds like to me it has the potential of being the next best foreign indie film!

Plus, it is truly amazing how the blind can see and understand so much more than one that can actually see, also the blind are not afraid to speak their mind and they're not afraid of being themselves!


Well, what am I up to today, you ask,....well, I am sifting through Paul's marble collection, finding the most unique ones in the best top notch condition....it is a fun job, because all the marbles are just so pretty, but it is actually a tiring job....hopefully, *fingers crossed* it'll be worth it in the end!....and I promise, I'll try and not lose my marbles...he-he!

ps: A-one....I think it's chosey...the spelling...you're looking for, but I could be wrong.
