 Are Kansas

Sigh… I’m going back out on the road again tomorrow. Fort Smith, Arkansas.

I was originally assigned to the Santa Barbara market for this month’s conversion and I and my team were very excited about it. Two weeks’ paid semi-vacation, plus hotel, plus per diem in sunny Santa Barbara? “Sweet” was the universal comment.

Then Santa Barbara was pulled from the schedule. I checked to see where else they might send me instead and saw that New Orleans was converting this month. I could stand me some New Orleans. Let the lobbying begin!

I emailed my boss and volunteered, “Since Santa Barbara’s off, I’d love to help out in New Orleans.”

She writes back, “Sorry, you’ll be going to Fort Smith instead.”

“Where’s Fort Smith?”

“Arkansas.”

“No, really, I don’t mind helping out in New Orleans.”

So Fort Smith it is. Arkansas. Woo.

Check out their Chamber of Commerce’s website, where the slogan is “Life is worth living in Fort Smith, Arkansas.”

If you never hear from me again? They were lying.
