Accentuating the Positive

Okay, cube dwellers, that's it. I'm tired of ranting this week. I'm tired of my negativity. It's time to accentuate the positive in Cube City.

Speaking of accents, I work with a woman who has a very distinct and sophisticated accent. Everything she says sounds cool and important:

• It's not a status meeting, people. It's a STATE-us meeting.
• It's not a REsource but rather a reSOURCE.

I've received a lot of emails from her this week, with requests for STATE-us and reSOURCES, and all I can say is that she's in my head. When I read her emails, it's like her voice takes over my brain, and I can hear her reading her messages to me with fancy accentuations in all the right places. How does she do that? I don't think I ever hear other cube dwellers' voices in my head when I read their emails. It's just positively cool.
