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?
