Keep Me Posted
Forget about what I said before about Mashiach coming soon. He ain't, especially not if he is waiting in line for something at the Post Office.
Just got back from there where the queue was out the door. With it already crazy hot, it wasn't taking much for the tempers of a lot of people to reach boiling point.
They had benches by the side of the queue so people were sitting on them spectating like we were some exhibit in the art gallery titled: People waiting in line at the Post Office.
I was so bored and had nothing else to do but watch the faces of the people entering the Post Office and seeing the shock on the face once they registered the length of the queue.
One lady whose husband was buried somewhere in the middle of it all, took his papers and asked the person at the very front if she could go ahead of her. Every other person in the queue went troppo and she fires back and then keeps going muttering stuff under her breath.
Not sure what was going on but the queue wasn't moving. 10 minutes go by and not a single person who was being served has finished. They all had these plastic shopping bags from which they took out mounds and mounds of paper. All I had to do was send one simple letter.
Couldn't take it anymore and went to another post office where the same thing was happening. It was like some bad dream.
