Chin up Meara. They just didn't want to sound overly enthused so you don't rake them over the coals when it comes time to salary talk. You knocked them dead. When they hung up, they were smiling ear to ear and squeeing like school girls.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

meara, I think they were surprised by how much loved you but have other phone calls scheduled and needed to get off the phone before they could look at each other and say "she's awesome, can we stop making these stupid phone calls now?"

Mostly lurking...
I am in Kansas.
It is HOT here. And not in the good way. Also, US Airways is not my favorite airline. For the record...

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

That sounds glorious, a reason to bundle up and listen to the surf.
