On a fun non-cousin related track, I was able to use some language skills yesterday. I had two solely Spanish speaking customers who were looking for a particular type of phone. I understand Spanish when it's spoken to me and when it's written down, but bringing it all together to have a conversation is a challenge for me. Plus, having a technical conversation in Spanish makes it extra challenging.
I love that kind of challenge and I'm proud to say I got it done! They were able to tell me what they specifically needed, I got them where they needed to be and I picked up some extra Spanish along the way. Hopefully, I can close out my week on a similar high note!

Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."
