"We at the FBI don't have a sense of humour we're aware of"
I hate not being a good sympathizer. I never know what to say to someone other than "are you ok?", "do you want to talk about it?". Anyway that sort of situation came up, and i tried to be sympathetic, and i certainly wanted to confort the personne, but i can never think of anything comforting. The best i could come up with was offering to beat up the offending body. Sometimes i wish i was more fluent with words, but i've always had a problem with small talk and sympathy talk. I don't like saying things unless I mean it and while you may well mean (like i did in this situation) i really did mean "Are you ok?" and "do you want to talk about it?" no one believes it when you say it because it's the expected response. So what are you supposed to say in a situation like that eh? Shit, anyway, i hope the guy feels better anyway, at least he had someone (even if not a helpful someone) to talk to. We shall see.
So had a busy day at the museum yesterday. 13 whole people came in. Oooh ahhh. It wasless busy today, with 4. but that can be expected during a thunder and lightening storm. I gotta say nothing is freakier than being alone in an old church converted military museum while the thunder rumbles, vibrating the walls and the dim lights flicker on and off. It's even worse when you're one of those people who is petrified of lightening storms. sigh, how i love my job.
