D.E.P.

I went to a funeral Sunday. I hate funerals... You might say "who doesn't?". But I'm just really bad at them. I'm a crier. Not a lot of people know that, but boy is it true, especially at funerals.

I immediately say yes, as I'd like to learn as much as I could to succeed in my position. It's only after I reply that I click on the link and realize it's out of town. I'm going to New Orleans! Woo hoo! I've never been and I'm really excited to be going and even more excited about not paying for it, ha ha. It's...
