Today after work I went shopping for some black clothing. Afterwards, I went to Applebee's for some food and a drink. (interesting right?) So, while there, A couple seats over is this lady in her 40's with a stack of papers. Turns out she's a literature and theatre teacher at McCaskey High School in Lancaster. We got to talking a little bit because I mentioned that I worked at Sight and Sound. That part was fun, but I was also watching a married couple across the bar, and another man, a few seats the other way enjoy some ribs. There was a couple in a booth behind me that obviously come there often because they talked to all the servers as friends. The bartender's name was Alex. She was pretty cool and was intent on making sure that everyone had what they needed. I could go on with this, just describing everything that happened. Observation is such a cool tool that we can use to get to know people without even talking to them. Some of us have good deductive skills and can really communicate without words. I love the non verbal side of communication because I like trying to be able to understand a point or idea that someone is trying to get across without them saying anything. It's a fantastic way to really understand someone.
