Shhh...

I'm a receptionist for an insurance company and a real estate company. The real estate company rents apartments and this lady came in to pay her rent this afternoon and needed to ask a question. Just like a great number of the tenants, she can't speak English. So I found myself shouting really loud at her until it dawned on me that no matter how loud I am, she still can't speak or understand English. Do you ever do that? I guess I could compare that to shouting at a blind man and having him reply, "Hey I can hear, I just can't see." I don't know.
