R A C H E L E S Q U E

(by Steve Bergen 6/10/01; dedicated to Ben Snyder who first to use the phrase "rachelesque" about a week ago)

Hey, Steve. Good talking with you. This videoconference should take place on Friday, June 22, at 8:30 or so, and Rachel can look at the stuff at my vanderbilt web site for some preliminary info. I look forward to working with her!!!

And here's the song, Scott in TN ... maybe we can record it together on video conferencing ... or you can record it and send me the aiff file and I will post it ... I have a tune in my head for it and will try to record it now ... how I wish I had a better voice ... rachel has been a model of hard work as a computer TF this year ("techie female") and has the larry bird work ethic in a truly wonderful way .. she gets things done all the time in exemplary fashion ... the references to slacking in the song are NOT to her but to the fact that most people (not her) find ways NOT to get things done ... the word rachelesque is now being trademarked ;-)

... it was first used by the head of the upper school a week ago to describe the new person applying for the NEXT computer TF job here at Nobles ... he told me that we should definitely hire her ... I asked him (Ben Snyder) how good did he think she was as a job applicant ... he said, let me tell you in one word, Steve ... "rachelesque"

rachelesque ... in the morning
rachelesque ... stop that yawning
rachelesque ... during the day
you gotta work hard and then you play

rachelesque .... when you work
no more triage, please don't shirk
rachelesque ... we've got things to do
four eyes are better than two

rachelesque ... from 9 to 5
stop that chatting and you will thrive
got one more thing you gotta do?
use a label to remind you

rachelesque ... better than a techie nerd
conscientiousness ... yes that's the word
rachelesque ... a bit like larry bird
success by hard work is not so absurd

rachelesque ... turn on that cell phone
keep it with you or I will groan
as seinfeld says, anyone can own
if you need an e-holster, peter's got one to loan
