My Grumpy, Angry DoorMan!!!


From being officially homeless to having a nice, cozy place was quite a journey.. Although I've started liking the new place still miss the old one:
I'd had my most amazing times there.. Hosted the most adorable people there.. Saw the most beautiful sunrise there and since then have started one of my most precious journeys from there!
But recently I feel like I've missed our concierge people most! They were nice and friendly.. Well..sometimes too friendly.. I mean if I were in a rush had to find another door to exit cuz the day shift lady used to talk a lot..
And now here in this new condo there is this security guy that has chosen this job perhaps to punish himself!!!!! The dude hates his job!!
In the past couple of weeks since we were moving here, had to go downstairs a lot and had the pleasure to see him several times a day!!! Every single time I gave him a cheerful loud HI and in return he just mumbled something, which til now I'm not sure if he was saying hi back or simply swearing at me!!!!
The guy started getting on my nerves.. So I made a new deal with myself: "Just ignore him!" But the problem was that I couldn't help myself.. As soon as seeing him, another cheerful greeting and still same reaction..
It continued till 2 days ago when I had a job interview.. so went down stairs saw the guy and told him: " Hey wish me luck.. I've a job interview"
And for those of you who do not believe in miracles:
My grumpy, always upset mostly angry black doorman, smiled and said :" Oh yeah go and get it!"
Now I'm not sure if being jobless rises the sense of sympathy in people or simply the fact that I had done my hair, had put up make up and looked like a lady for the first time since we've moved here put a smile on his depressed face..
Whatever the reason was, these days me and my door man greet each other with a big smile and wish each other a nice and wonderful day!!
3 hoorays for this big achievement:)
