None of which is interesting in the least, I’m sure, but which I mention now because it came to mind when I was explaining how unremarkable my interaction with the employee who’d appeared at the drive-thru window had been. As if by describing the moment that had preceded that interaction I could give you an idea of what the actual interaction had been like, without having to bore you with the so-called ‘details’, or present the scene with such starkness and finality that it might cause you to think that I thought it mattered more than it did, and thus invite you to seek in it some profound meaning, or clue, when really it was just another ordinary moment in a very long sequence of the same.
