I admire people who can make an exit scene that is both graceful and memorable at the same time. You know the ones. Those who make a solid statement by quietly closing the door. No need to slam it to make your point. Everyone expects the slamming door to seal the argument, but a quietly closed door just has more umph.
Well I made an exit scene today that was memorable, but it wasn't graceful. It was even down right confusing for a minute. As I was leaving Julie's place of employment this morning, I was chatting with Heidi. I opened the door to head out, and....where did all these supplies come from? I didn't see them when I came in. Am I in a hallway? I stood there for what seemed like five minutes trying to process what I was seeing, but I know it was just a matter of seconds. Oh, well yes, this is the supply closet. That would certainly explain the supplies gathered there on the shelves.
Then I had to turn around and face all those who saw my less than graceful exit..Well it wasn't really an exit, it was just a slight detour into the supply closet. It was very memorable I'm sure. I won't forget it, I know that! Yes...well....I will just close the closet door....Nice closet by the way. Lot's of handy dandy supplies in there....I will be on my way now... Bye.
