I'm sitting here at work messing with my Mac photo booth when two girls around my age walk in. Instantly my composure changes. I say my usual "hello, let me know if I can help you with anything" and stare into the soul of my laptop screen appearing to look busy. "How much is this night stand?" one of them asks. At this moment, I realized I have officially become socially awkward with fellow females of my age group. How do I interact with these strange creatures? Why do I feel like they are watching my every move? I walk over to check the front of the night stand when to my surprise I hit my head on the window. Ow. "theres a window there" I comment, trying my best to be "cool". I think it worked because they both laughed. The nightstand although in a set, could be sold separately for $85.00. Out of their price range apparently. I say sorry about that and awkwardly walk back to my safety zone at the counter when again, they ask about a price on something else. I shuffle over, take a look and once again, the item is sold in a set. I uncomfortably explain how I can send a picture to my boss and find out what she can do but they kindly reject the offer and gingerly begin to walk out. "thank you" the door opens. My usual "have a nice day" is followed. Jeez, someone please help me. I'm sitting here at work messing with my Mac photo booth when two girls around my age walk in. Instantly my composure changes.
