There is the constant talking, asking of questions, answering phone calls and texts, humming of household appliances, music, tv, etc. The list goes on and on in a bustling city like Los Angeles. COMPLETE silence at any point of your day is rare, even when you sleep...
My family owns a quaint little restaurant called BeverLiz Cafe in Beverly Hills, and, because it's small, all the appliance noise drives me crazy! We have the ice maker, the coffee grinder, the powerful hoods in the kitchen, the phone ringing, the people talking, the soda machine going, the food cooking, the radio singing and the hum of the huge refrigerator in the front driving me insane all day long. Today, with a full house of customers, I took a moment and a sip of water in between the Snapple and espresso machine, underneath the tea shelf. I suddenly noticed I couldn't hear the customers conversations anymore! There I had found a small spot that canceled out any direct noise. All there was was a giant hum from some machine but nothing else! It was Stupendous!!!!! The talk, music, clicking and clanking, ringing and banging was all muted and it was just marvelous. I stood there smiling for a moment, taking in my new found glory...
until my dad asked why I was just standing there. "Go ask 6-in if they want refills."
