Last week I dropped of a disposable camera at the local pharmacy to get my film developed. I have been going ther for the last 5 years to get my fem pics processed. I always felt confidant that they just put the film in the machine and processed it without looking at the pics... (and BTW, I never really cared if they did). When I went to pick up my pics, the young lady, the photo dept. mgr., handed them to me and said," I took a little extra time manually adjusting the exposure... I wanted to bring out the detail in your skirt..."
For a split second my heart stopped. I answered, "So you saw all of my pictures?"
"Yeah.. and you looked very nice."
Mind you, I was in guy mode (goatee and all).
I thanked her for taking the extra effort, and explained I thought the process was automatic. She said it usually is, but sometimes when business is slow, she likes to personally process film and prints when most employes just develop the on the "auto" process.
We ended up talking for about 15-20 minutes.... not specifically about CDing, but she was wonderful to be so kind and laid back about my pictures. She said it didn't bother her a bit... That one act of kindness from a stranger made my day - hell! It made my whole week - especially after the last post I had on here about an ugly person I met on line. It didd my heart good to know that there are some wonderful, open minded people out there, and sometimes the kindness of a stranger can make everything seem ok....
Too bad Kimberly has a wedding ring on her finger......
