Unusual salutation.

[c9]

So there's this vendor we work with in the US who provides our classroom evaluation collection and reporting. They're in Chicago, but our main rep has an unusual manner of speaking that makes her sound like she's from Tennessee or Louisiana or the moon or something -- I can't quite place it.

Whenever she calls me, it's "Hiiii Cameron, (long pause) THIS is Ava? From CompanyName? (long pause) I just waaaaaanted to talk tooo you..." etc.

Anyway, today she sent me an email with this signoff. I again must ask, WTF?

Have a wonderful day in Canada!

You SO need to tell her that actually, you're having a miserable day in Canada. The heat is out in the igloo, one of your sled dogs is suffering a stomachache from eating too many donunts, and to top it off you lost a tooth playing hockey at lunch!

Hehehe, don't forget that many Americans forget there are other countries out there that exist, so they are quite excited when they have to communicate with someone from a different planet.

Isn't Cam moving to Downtown Canada now?

Sounds like West Virginia to me. Everything comes out like a question.

"Verna? Down at the hardware store? Well she and Billy have been carryin' on now for months."

I am so signing off all emails with that today.

I'm not sure I understand what the problem is with "Have a wonderful day in Canada!"? Would it have been better if she wrote "Have a horrible day in Canada" or "Have a wonderful day in New Zealand"??

Brad, who says "congrats" on the home purchase and who himself is having a wonderful day in Halifax.

Thanks Brad!

It just sounded unusual, that's all. She doesn't always say it, but on a regular basis.
