Oh my god, person who really works here, please SHUT. UP.

There's a girl in a cube two "doors" down and across the "hall" who is, I'm sure, very nice, but who has that particular Carolina (either NC or northern SC; it's hard for me to tell) accent that just pierces your brain when it comes at you with the timbre of a woman's voice. My friend Son of a Preacher Man has that accent, but his voice is low enough that it didn't give me a headache; my first college roommate had that accent, and it made me want to die. And lest you think this had anything to do with my extra-dialectal relationship with that roommate, my friend Future Daughter-In-Law of a Preacher Man has that accent, and I like her a lot but her voice does tend to find the weak spot on my skull and hit it repeatedly with a sharpened hammer.

So, yeah. Working on Temp Headache, Day Two (somehow before yesterday she wasn't talking that much -- oh! I remember on Monday she was saying how she was getting over a cold; maybe that made her voice mellower), on account of the chirpy real employee over there. Gah.

Now this is probably generational. Using 'God' as an oath was very much frowned upon when I was growing up, even in my swingin' liberal neighborhood.
