It's a hot day here in Nebraska city 97°C / 36°C! and it will only get hotter as the week progresses. Sitting on the patio was impossible, even with occasional visiting winds. Today, so far has been a frustrating composing day. Do you know that feeling of standing in one place when you need to be running? The amount of time and effort one puts into their work does not corresponds with the results. At the end of a full day of composing I might end up having 5 new measures (3-6 seconds of music), after erasing everything I have done the day before. This is what I call "a frustrating composing day". The best solution for this kind of situation is taking a break and coming back to work refreshed. On my break I went to the post office, which was actually a very nice experience. People in this town do not stop to amaze me with their kindness and patience. Usually, going to the post office is not one of my favorite things to do; there is always a long line and the workers seem quite unhappy. I can't really blame them, it must be no fun having to do the same action for hundreds of times a day and recite: "do you have anything liquid or perishable?" over and over. For the costumer it is no fun, either. When standing in queue I calculate every word I am about to say because when it is my turn no mistakes can be made. Well, I faced a nice surprise at Nebraska City's post office. I got the much needed assistance and great care there. Finally! a pleasant experience using the postal service :) Boy, I am going to miss this place! THE MUSIC INSPIRATION OF THE DAY: a little "blast from the past" The English band Tears for Fears, song title: "Sowing the Seeds of Love" (1989). Empowering and feels like I want to hug the whole world.

The experienced that you have in that post office is really awesome. I appreciate that you shared this one. Because like you I do not want either to go to any post office. Simply because of the long queue and the sad ambiance of every post office I know. Also, because of the process that I have to face whenever I am in there. It is indeed quite shocking that you were not able to feel that feeling in that place. I wish I can experience that as well.
