If I have learned anything in my life, it's that I'm going to offend someone no matter how careful I am or how conservative I play it, so what you see here is a caricature seen through a fun house mirror. It's not real. It's an exaggerated, warped version of me presented to laugh with and at. Sometimes I get tired of explaining this, so I'm sorry if I offended and I'm sorry if I'm defensive. I'm sincerely tired of asking people to realize this is just a dumb blog and it doesn't matter.Happy Villainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11276030867866594194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5511729947412381984.post-41167945821265316102009-04-24T16:54:00.000-05:002009-04-24T16:54:00.000-05:00Careful about using the word Crackers because you ...Careful about using the word Crackers because you could get shot down here in the Deep South.Magnoire La Chouettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04408607529147141882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5511729947412381984.post-63698670798553472182009-04-12T19:09:00.000-05:002009-04-12T19:09:00.000-05:00Are your bad spanish announcemnt makers southerner...Are your bad spanish announcemnt makers southerners or rednecks?

Man, sometimes I think we have it tough and I realize we're spoiled, spoiled, spoiled.<BR/><BR/>Lummox:<BR/>Well, I am immune to your ammo since I like your ammo. BRING IT!<BR/><BR/>Anon #1:<BR/>Did you miss something? I think you did. Go back and read what I wrote about people who DON'T SPEAK SPANISH finding it more offensive. I'm not saying I could do better. I'm saying it shouldn't fucking be done. WTF: Loofa? Did you just call me a cunt to boot? There are days when I think I should password protect my blog, and today is one of them.<BR/><BR/>Anon #2:<BR/>We have many Spanish speaking staff members, but once in a while, none are around. Or the ones who are there refuse to make announcements. That link list is handy, kinda like the big box of PolyTalk cards we have at the desk. They just don't make the cards for things I need, like, "Please refrain from viewing porn" or "Your child just shoved a crayon in the floppy drive and we need for you to leave."Happy Villainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11276030867866594194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5511729947412381984.post-63522207640706252102009-04-09T20:39:00.000-05:002009-04-09T20:39:00.000-05:00We did the easy thing and hired employees that are...We did the easy thing and hired employees that are fluent Spanish speakers but staff also took some basic Spanish lessons.

However, no one has ever even talked about forcing us to do it in Spanish. Which I suppose is a bit odd, being that about 70% of the population is Hispanic.<BR/>lolRachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00574025785063224560noreply@blogger.com
