Clippings
Our office administrator is a lovely lady who expresses her feelings through newspaper clippings. I have to be careful of which pop culture events I express interest in because I will be inundated with related newspaper and magazine articles. Over the course of my time here I have received no less than 15 articles about Harry Potter. This week, I received around 10 articles about Lost. For a while she would cut out any article related to texting. I'm really not sure how this one happened, except that she had seen me texting. She didn't even own a cell phone, but started trying to work texting into office policy.
"Oh, we should let Dave know that he doesn't need to come in tonight. Kevin, can you text him?"
"I think it's probably better if you just call him, Linda".
I did finally convince her to get a cell phone. She has digital camera and she wants an ipod. As her technology guru, I keep trying to explain to her that these things are pretty useless without a computer, but she just isn't ready for that yet.
This is sort of adorable. It's really cute that she is enthusiastic and wants to learn. I think that's what's most important. Far better than being a luddite and completely unwilling to embrace technologies that make things easier. :)
