But I live in Washington  Previous MessagePrevious Message"I'm from [suburb]" "Oh, where is that?" "Near Chicago" "Oh, nice" They don't really want to know where you're from; just the nearest recognizable landmark. It's almost like answering truthfully when somebody asks how you're doing. Just say "Chicago" or "fine" and be done with it. |
