Clients Quoted #1
This is the first in what may be a series of words yanked from the mouths of our clients--you know, those that come to visit us on their yachts.
"Did you know that oil hit $78 a barrell today? My Texan friends don't know what to do with their money!"
-Californian man on vacation with his family, said after he found out I was from Texas.
I would suggest that his Texan friends save "all that money."
They're going to need it for gas :)

Tracie, I admire your restraint! I can be a hothead at times and if a rich guy said that to me (with all the horrible stuff that's causing these gas prices and all) I might just take it badly and end up losing my job. Good for you!

It's in moments like that, that you can really understand how the French and the Russians wound up with revolutions.
Glad to see you back Tracie, you were very much missed

I like Ale's comments! How funny.
7/26/2006 9:24 PM
Hopefully, all of your clients aren't such ignorant a-holes. I would've had a very hard time keeping my mouth shut after a comment like that.
7/27/2006 1:23 PM
.....but with a job like that...I think I could manage to bit my tongue just a little:)
7/27/2006 1:33 PM
Well ..you can't help with Americans.
Well I thought texans are the dumbest of the lot .Mr. Bush is the best example but I guess you can't generalize
So let them save all their money and I hope they keep electing Mr Bush

vj that was uncalled for! I am a texan and do not own an oil well. I too think that the client with the quote was not thinking but I do not know if I would call him dumb. Just insensitive like you appear to be!

um vj, maybe you didn't realize that i'm texan as well. i agree with anonymous. assuming that everyone in a state as big as texas thinks, feels, etc just like ONE person from texas makes you look like the dumbest of the lot. sorry, you started it.
7/28/2006 8:01 AM
Ya, most of us here texans are purdy smart. Most of us even got all our teef.

7/28/2006 8:51 AM
Yea Tra! Poor VJ. Maybe I gave him a hard time. Sorry, but debating is fun>
7/28/2006 9:52 AM
hey, hey, hey, whats everyone upset about. Every body knows that us Texans all live on a ranch, ride horses and rope cows all day long. We just feed our transportation hay and save on the gas and when someone makes an insensitive remark we just pull out our six gun and shoot'em.
7/28/2006 11:26 AM
Seriously, we are very sensitive to the things happening all over the world. I hope I never get desensitive to the ugly remarks that SOME will make without thinking before they speak, aka the client! I know we raised our daughter, Tracie, to be a kind, thoughtful, and very funny young woman. She is my daughter afterall!

Just left N.California because I kept running into clowns like that. And guess where I dun' moved? Austin baby!! Now, how do I learn to ride me a horse?
7/28/2006 10:22 PM
I live in Texas and have never been on a horse so I have no advice for you ToTo.
7/29/2006 7:29 AM
Tracie please tell VJ that he is entitled to his opinion and so are the others who have commented. God loves all of us thank goodness.
7/29/2006 10:37 PM
I am a re-located Texan, riding horses, living on a Ranch, tending the cattle, that sounds pretty good to me! Does it happen by allotment? Where do I sign up?
7/30/2006 8:37 AM
oh, oh, oh, I forgot, do I get an oil well also?
7/30/2006 8:37 AM
