Waiting...

Silently, patiently, waiting



Sounds
Two televisions on different channels
Staff chit chatting
Someone working at a desk
Snacks being opened
Chewing
Sniffling
Throat clearing
Doors opening and closing
Coughing
Vending machines

Sights
People sitting
Reading
Writing
Engaged with technology
Sleeping
Glazed looks
Resignation

Waiting for jury duty
Oh my it has only been 17 minutes...


Out in the hall
Lawyers talking to clients
Waiting for your turn
Discouragment, encouragement
A world so different from mine

Hearing two televisions is quite wearing, hoping to silence the noise!

  3. At least your were able to write while you waited! I have to agree with the two televisions. The noise would be bonkers.

  6. Doesn't time just go so slowly sometimes. The nice thing is it gives you a chance to observe and take note of things out of your ordinary day to day life.
