Things Change

After I left work today I ran by the post office to mail my papers to the severance office in Texas. In the Hoover post office there is ALWAYS a line. In the past I always had to ensure I didn't have any appointments after lunch in case I got stranded in line there.
Today the line was long by my point of reference had changed. I stood in line and observed the other people waiting. Everyone except the really old folks, were glancing at their watches every few minutes, shifting from leg to leg and huffing really loudly.
Many were looking around with a "can you believe how slow the people move" look on their faces. A very short time ago I would have been right there huffing with them, but today, I was more closely aligned with the older folks.
Funny how things change.
