Today at work I was helping this woman with her email and we were doing something that was taking some time. So I started making conversation casually. We started talking about hurricane Katrina. I said something about New Orleans and this lady responds with “New Orleans is a state, right?” I just about died. How can someone working at such a large corporation as Target be so dumb? Now as if that wasn’t bad enough, I started explaining to her New Orleans was a city in Louisiana and she was kind of saying it as I was and she stops when I got to saying which state it was in. I can’t believe someone today doesn’t know Louisiana is a state. I don’t care if you don’t know how to spell it or where in the US it is located, but to not know it exists boggles my mind. What makes it especially bad was that it’s been all over the news since the hurricane hit. If you watched 5 mins of CNN in the last 3 days, I’m pretty sure you could figure it out.

The really sad thing is this woman probably makes twice as much as I do. Tell me why I spent $100,000 on college when I could be that stupid and being doing just as well.
