My new assistant, T, is from there. She is brilliant, knowledgeable, sensible, eager to do the work - and fast. She is perfect on the phone, needs almost no training on unfamiliar software and understands exactly what is needed in an office. Besides that shee's very attractive and speaks with only the faintest hint of a Southern accent.

This does not fit my image of folks from that South at all. Is Louisiana different?

Or is that why she's not there any more?
