Moments of Levity

I shouldn't post this.

No, really--I shouldn't. But I just can't help it.

Working the main lobby can be boring as dirt. Seriously--how entertained can you be by a parade of humanity's most desperate? But there are moments.

It was myself, Franco, Ellie, and Joe working the main lobby two days ago. Ellie was half dead from working an overtime shift the night before, and was sitting at the desk.

What happens next is childishly simple; I mean, it's kindergarten level-humor. Seriously.

But there was Ellie, sitting at the desk with her head in her hands, a heartbeat away from falling asleep. And Franco chose that moment to call the phone on the desk. And then hang up when she answered.

As I said, childishly simple.

But oh so simple.

Because the three of us were giggling like school kids who just gave the teacher a hotfoot.

I guess you had to be there.
