This week I worked enrollment for our school district.  For the first time we had centralized  enrollment which meant high school, middle school and all of the elementary schools would come to the high school to enroll.

I thought it would be a complete mess but it was actually very smooth.    It helps that elementary students don’t really need to come because all of their enrollment can be done online.

 

I worked the early shift (7:00 am -11 ish)  every morning and there was plenty of opportunity to people watch!!!!

One of the things I noticed is how many people try to ignore others.  The table of cheerleaders was just across from where I was and they were trying to give people tickets for a car wash.  The tickets are free and then they can just make a donation when they come to the car wash.  

Over half of the people ignored the girls when they tried to pass out the tickets – it was like they were in Vegas ignoring all the people handing out fliers.

 

I don’t understand why people aren’t willing to at least take a second and get the little FREE ticket!!!

It is also fun to observe some of the family dynamics.  Some people bring the entire family to enroll and that often involves young kids fighting, babies screaming and tempers flaring!!!

Some of the middle school and high school kids are all about wondering around and catching up with friends.  Others (like my Jordan) just want to get in, get through all the lines and be done!!!

I saw people all dressed up, girls in shorts that barely covered their butt checks and people in the equivalent of pajamas!!

My favorite part is to just watch people’s faces  – some of everything!

 

I’m always amazed when people flat out refuse to return a smile – especially when you are just trying to help them!!!

Do you like to people watch?

Happy Friday!
