Right now, I'm in an email training class as a trainer supporter. The woman teaching the class is very good at explaining the ins and outs of using email on the web. I work with so many computer technicians that it is kinda nice to be with people who are not stuck up about themselves. They are here to learn and figure out how to do things. I am here to help them the best way I can. No matter how smart we think we are, we are still learning, day by day...who we are supposed to be. Today, I'm teaching and learning at the same time.
What's your motto?
Trust me, it's worse than it seems!
Who is your favorite Muppet? Why?

My favorite muppet has to be the Swedish Chef. His weird mumbles made my day as a kid. Bork! Bork! Bork!
Tell us a little something about your first girlfriend/boyfriend.
This is a true story. My first girlfriend was hearing impaired, which wasn't a problem at all. I fell for her bad. We went on a few dates and did the makeout stuff, like us kids do. Anyway, in my eyes, things seemed to be going great. We talked, laughed, kissed...all that great stuff. Then one day, I decided to call her to see if she wanted to go to this restaurant. I had to talk with her through an interpreter, who used TeleType to type the words I said to her. I waited for a minute while the interpreter was giving her my thoughts and he came back and said the following from what she typed in, "Why are you calling me now?" I was like, "huh?" to myself. My thinking was that I just calling her to see if she would like dinner, but instead I'm getting the 5th degree...and it's only been 5 minutes!! Anyway, we go back and forth with the questions about why I'm calling her and then finally the bombshell. The interpreter...basically interpreting her words said to me, "Hey, she doesn't want to speak to you anymore." I could tell that the guy felt bad saying that to me. It was a weird moment, I tell ya. Nothing like being dumped through an interpreter. After that, we never talked again. I did see her in a mall a few weeks later with a dude wearing a basketball jersey. I thought to wave, but instead I just kept walking.
Well, my first post on Vox. I can see that there will be a lot to come. Don't really have much to say right now. I'm in my office and it's 98 degrees. Plus, I think I'm seeing stars.
Must get water. Talk to you all next time.
