Tuesday, Feb. 18, 1941 Another fine day and the sun was out so nice and warm that I opened the doors and let some of the air in. Sam went to town again and will go to Olympia in the morning with the rest of the Shurfine outfit. Put some eyelets in one of my scrap books and fixed up the Girl Scout book up to-date. Can't do very much on account of the fact that I can't use my eyes much. I'm surely get- ting a good rest and hope I can get out of here soon for I'm getting tired of sitting around.

The first rule of courtesy is to never embar- rass anyone or make them feel uncomfortable. Thus. you will never know. My pet peeve of the year has to be the cellphone. I'm happy to report that not one student even pulled one out at the DECA meeting. Sadly, or maybe shockingly, recently I was in a business meeting of about 10 people. We were all sitting around the same table. One brought out their cellphone - while someone else was talking and basi- cally checked their messages for more than 10 minutes. Pe- riodically, they would glance up, then back to the phone. The same thing happened at another meeting later in the week. We talked about this at the DECA meeting. They all seemed aware of this guffaw in business. Perhaps we can learn from them! I propose that we'd rather shut down the phone than shut down a business relationship!
