If her kindness was subject to moods, she had her table manners down cold, and her telephone etiquette was impeccable.

I don't know who need to hear this but, it's never too late to learn the basic things to make that quantum leap in your careers. Things like, how how to shake hands, how to look somebody in the eye and speak, how to introduce yourself, the dining table etiquette, telephone etiquette, office etiquette, when to use a shrimp fork or a salad fork or a dessert fork, etc. Sounds too extreme?? Cool!! Ignore these and be assured that, in the end, you'll die after being in an average life doing an average job and living an average life.
