Back to work!

We had a nice 3 day weekend where I almost forgot about work (yay), but reality came crashing back today :-(.

But here are some pics from our weekend:



First, Savannah:

If I look a little wilty, I had just stepped in a huge puddle of horse poo water and I was sweating like a 9 yr old boy at a strip club. But, notice the spanish moss in the trees. Very cool/creepy. They do a Ghost tour at night, definitely got to try that next time. Dang I need a tan...





Then the aquarium:


It was pretty cool, a little spendy, but definitely interesting. It was EXTREMELY crowded though and it made it very difficult to see all of the exhibits. They have the largest indoor tank in the world though, and it was incredible to see. You can even scuba dive or swim in it! (for a fee of course).





And finally, Little Five Points:

This is the hippie/counter-cultural area of Atlanta. I thought it was awesome, but Brady was a little weirded out. I tried to explain that pot-heads are chill, they will never hurt you, maybe steal your food, but never actually inflict any pain. Peace and love, dude, peace and love. And I did find Boba there! I was so excited, it was my first boba in 8 months, not as good as what I got at home, but still delicious.


Well, that was our weekend in a nutshell, a lot of fun and 500 miles of driving. I need another day off just to recover...

You're in the South now, honey!

Ok, so I hear this a lot. A LOT!!! Katie is the one who pointed it out. I think I just started to tune it out, but, when she mentioned it, I thought that it may be the new title of my blog. Thoughts??

However, it is also a great title for this post. At work yesterday, I was going through some of the files the previously mentioned coworker was working on (lets just call him Bob from now on) and I found something, umm interesting? I was supposed to be looking through his work as I am training him right now, so don't think I was just snooping (though that sounds like something I would do). Our system logs all communication with our clients, and I was trying to figure out what was going on with a particular client. So, I open an email "Bob" sent. Up pops this hugh picture of a HANDGUN on my screen!! I shrieked a little in surprise and investigated a little as to why the hell he would be sending pictures of guns to clients. Turns out, they discussed them in their first conversation (odd choice of smalltalk, but "I'm in the South now...") and "Bob" thought it would be a good idea to send this client a picure of one that he owned (which is a scary thought in itself). I thought this was completely inapproriate, so I showed my boss, whose only comment was, "hey, could you bring that back up? It looks like a nice gun." Seriously!?! I was in a state of shock. The girls at my office and I often wonder if we are in some kinda of prank movie, like the Truman Show or something, with all the craziness that goes on.. What are your thoughts, reader?
