The other day
I needed to deliver an envelope of business papers to an office. I did not know at what time the office
closed, so I called and asked. The
receptionist told me that the office closed at 5:30 pm and I realized that I
might not make it. I asked the woman if
I could slip the envelope under the door or through a slot as I would probably
arrive 10 minutes after their closing time. "Oh, I'll wait for
you," she said. I told her that I
felt badly keeping her there, but she said it was no problem at all. I drove up to the building just a couple of
minutes after 5:30 pm and called to let the receptionist know that I was
looking for parking and would be right up.
When a man answered, I thought that perhaps she had left. The gentleman was very friendly and said that
she had stepped away, but that both of them were there and they would see me
shortly. I was so surprised by the
kindness from people I did not know.
