New to Houston

I live in Houston, TX, but I am not from here. I am new to the city, and that is very obvious. Why, you ask? Well, I am from the north, a yankee, and my accient-that I do not hear-is apparently very thick. Secondly(and this is the big one) is that I know how to drive safely. The last word in that sentence is the key. I really believe that before the state of Texas will issue you a driver's license, you must first display the ability to make rash, thoughtless, potentially fatal, and basically stupid decisions while driving in thick Houston traffic. Until you display the ability to cause someone to spill hot coffee in their lap and fly foward chocking them selves on the seatbelt because they have just slammed on their breaks due to your decision that you absolutely must be in front of them, you may not have your license.

I am a customer account executive for an unnamed company here in town. I am in my last week of training, and I couldn't be more excited. I can't sit through "training" much longer.The trainer is a nice guy, who tries to be funny, but he is a bit on the dry side. Of coarse all of the typical stereo types are in the class-the know it all who is going to be loud and obnoxious and is never wrong; the loud mouth who never shuts up and hst o challange everybody for no perticular reason; the additude who thinks she is oweed everything, and shouldn't have to work for anything.

Me? Where do I fall in? Oh, the usual. I'm the quiet, smart one, who is funny on occasion. The one who ignores the lecture an still passes all tests with flying colors. Not a lot has changed aout me since i was in unnamed high school. I mean, sure I am not nearly as shy, and I make friends pretty easily these days. For the most part though, I am still a quiet person who would rather observe than open my mouth. To many people have cronic foot in mouth syndrome these days. No thanks, I'll pass on that.
