the lady in uniform

I was sitting on a bench in front of a grocery store waiting for my friend who bought something when i noticed this female security guard. She walks to and fro on the entrance/exit area of the grocery store with poised. Actually that was not my first time of seeing her right there; I almost get to see her everyday on that area because i go to that grocery almost everyday too right after lunch. Its just that now i had the time to give a part of my time and think about her. I started to wonder if she doesn’t get tired of standing or walking around on that area for a couple of hours…hmmm…does she? If i’m on her place, i think i won’t last for an hour or less. It seems a pretty tough job huh…

I just realized that we meet a lot of people everyday and we only rarely get the oppurtunity to stop and think about them at least for a second – what they do, how they do it, what are they thinking or what they feel…stuffs like that. We are all busy minding our own personal lives and ignore the rest of the world. So now i was also wondering if by some sort of chance, as i sit there on that bench alone starring and thinking about that lady guard, somebody also had a time to stop and think about me even just on a split second…hmmm…interesting.
