Today while doing a job I just happened to bump into a friend who was passing by and we haven’t seen each other in a while. As a result, we decided to catch up a bit and went first went to get something to eat. After having a meal, we were just chatting away and it was pretty apparent that the waitress was trying to turn over the table as fast as possible. This then resulted in us going to a different place where my friend ordered a small dessert and we were able to sit and chat without any worries of time.
It made me think about the notion of having to pay money to just hang out with the people you know in a casual way can sure add up if it is constantly random like this. Then again, there isn’t really a way to plan for it ahead of time unless you have in-depth knowledge of the area to know the best places designed for people to socialize. The other funny way I was thinking was that if we kept in touch more often than we wouldn’t have been in this scenario. Simple as that huh?
