As you know I have the same voice problem. My m-in-law pointed out a few times now when I'm in the car with her she always forgets stuff and feels calm and a little sleepy. Damn voice!! Some people really like it others feel it is their right to treat me like shit because I sound so young and sweet, well those people always get a lovely surprise from me :-P

Good luck handlin' the rush, I know you'll catch on it takes some time. Happy holidays, D!!
