Aren’t all South Carolinians “mature?”
I was a bit embarrassed by Darci Shelley yesterday at the Enterprise/Megachurch Luncheon. She’s a driving force behind ACS’ Facility Scheduler product. I mentioned to her that several of the people at ACS don’t look like I expected them to.
It’s kind of like listening to the radio. You hear the DJ every morning and you get some subconscious image of their appearance. Working with all of these people from Florence, South Carolina by phone, I began to get this impression in my mind. I’m thinking that those beautiful southern accents contributed to this image of grey-haired grannies who love to make delicious dishes, like Paula Deen (at right).
Well, I told this to Darci who saw it fit to tell it to the entire megachurch luncheon that Matthew Irvine thought that all the ACS employees were 50-60 year olds. She made me look like I had a problem with those more mature than myself. However, I love Paula, so I think Darci and the rest of the ACS crew should be encouraged.
This is what Darci really looks like (at left). I think she enjoyed making me squirm just a little too much.
So, the name Paula Deen was circulating around the convention center for the rest of the afternoon.
