Day 4 in Hampton Virginia, there's snow, but the Sun is shining which is delightful. I have all I need to prepare me some Udon Soup.
Since I am off work I decided to pay bills, yes yes, but I am grateful...
There was a glitch on the computer it didn't take the account number. So after several tries, I finally had to call.. which I was trying to AVOID because I really didn't wanna talk with anybody, BUT I failed.
So a sister answered the phone, I could tell she had a piece of candy or something in her mouth, I didn't ask which I normally would do, but instead I proceed to explain to her what happened and she decided sucking on that candy that she didn't wanna hear all that and asked me to provide the information and she'd collect the payment over the phone.
She wanted my full name as it is on the account and she seemed to not understand me when I kept spelling out my maiden name, we did it four times and by this time Ora D's baby girl is tired of repeating herself so being who I am, in my Alabama dialect I said,
"Look a hen, it's like not just one, but a WHOLE BUNCH OF Y'ALL. enough to make a Tarzan Movie with S instead of an N." (A Sanford & Son Red Foxx quote)
She Hollarded and got choked on whatever that was in her mouth. It was serious for a moment, but she was able to regain her composure ...somewhat
She and I had a good laugh she told me "You are going to get me into trouble for laughing so loud, but that was definitely not expected." I apologized and told her to blame it on my Asperger
She laughed at that too. hell, I started laughing at myself too which is not difficult for me to do anyway, but her laughter was so light hearted and healing. It felt as if both of us received a release in that moment of laughter. Then she said, "I apologize because you know what? I definitely didn't get it until you said it like that and that's a shame." I told her I was cool with it and added that the reason she got is that she's lived long enough She ALREADY know the deal. She agreed and we laughed some more.
Being the story teller that I am of my surreal life, I shared with her my voting experience in Arizona where I gave the old white lady my driver's license and she acted like she didn't see the S and almost called me the N, but was interrupted by the old nice white man who was training her and who became so red faced, he was profusely apologizing and repeating my maiden over to assure me HE KNEW what it was.
This Sister laughed out loud again. She said, "OMG, you are really going to get me in trouble." Me and my anxiety got anxious because we were talking like old friends so I told her that if she does get in trouble to have her supervisor call me. She thanked me for the laugh, she said, " I really do appreciate your laughter too, I needed this today. Thank you"
The phone call ended. Simple and Sweet, but so full for what I needed today as well.
