What a week that was. On Monday, I was informed that two plastic wire ties (the type under your desk connecting various bits of computer) were doing gecko impressions. Please, don't try to make any sense of that. You'll only lose sleep. The rest of my week was all down hill from there.
On the bright side, it's over. And, I got a raise this week.

Burned Out?

While making a book order for our store the topic CEF came up in the catalog. That is not an acronym with which I am familiar. After a quick look through Google, these two sites were the most useful. The first link has a lot of information. The second link has a poem that I really like.

What do you do when...

You start out trying to help someone. Then start to think of them as a friend. After worrying about them, losing sleep to talk to them because they are upset or having problems, and they always have problems you realize something... It's been one awfully long time (couple of years) and not once have they expressed one bit of concern or grattitude.

Time to polish that drawl...it's done tarnished!

This occurred last Wednesday while I was helping a customer in our store. She needed to decide which product would meet her needs. So, I was explaining to the best of my ability what each of the products in question does and how. The discussion about what exactly was the desired result became rather long. She chose her products, graciously thanked me for the information and time. Then she said "Where are you from originally? I'm from Tennessee. You sound like you're from up north.".
Up North?! I live in Louisiana. I am from Louisiana. Never left Louisiana for more than a week at a time(doesn't mean I don't want to leave).
Apparently, I don't sound southern enough. Which leads me to wonder, exactly which accent is southern enough, any suggestions? Some of those accents are irritating, even to another southerner.
