Amber in a Small Brown Nutshell

Hello, world!

This is the first post on Blog de Amber. Though I'm not sure which language I butchered in the title, I'm excited to start this blog.

You see, dear readers, I don't actually work at my job. I'm a secretary at a local State Farm Insurance building. The problem is, I don't know a thing about insurance! So my job is, basically, to answer the phone and then pass on the real work to someone else. At eight dollars an hour, I'm not complaining.

Though the one downside of the job is the incessant amounts of The Travel Channel I take in. I know more about Glacier National Park than I ever wanted to. Then again, Glacier National Park isn't on my List of Things I Want to Learn About to begin with. Samantha Brown, however, is a wonderful distraction from the more mundane programs of the Travel Channel. She is the host of "Great Hotels" and "Passport to Europe." The woman is, in a word, wacky. She drinks in every single episode. You should have seen her tour of Bavaria... so...much...beer...

Goodbye, world!
