I was going through security at the airport on Easter and one of the officers asked how I was doing, using my name, since of course he was reading my ID and boarding pass. I tell him how I'm really happy in spite of the fact that I'm away from most of my family because I got to see my sister and he responds with, "I get to spend Easter with my airport family here." And I, being a little thick-skulled, go, "aw, really? Does it feel like family here among the employees?"
His response:
"No."
Shakes head.
Ohhhh. "Sorry," I whisper.
I hope he gets a better job soon. Or gets to retire. But everyone else working there seemed either grumpy or younger than him so I can see how he wouldn't feel very connected to his coworkers.
The thing was, he had such a good attitude towards me: "and how are you doing today, Danielle?" Not just, "next, please!"
I hope he has a wife and he treats her like a queen. I bet he does.
