It was out of my hands. I was a few minutes late (a tractor trailer flipped over while making an exit off of the interstate and everything was a mess – that was the story I planned to tell). Xxnx Okay, I could deal with that, happily. You’ve got to believe that I don’t have a mean or aggressive bone in my body. This was a simple damn business meeting with a person who might have life or death power over my job, and I was acting like a love struck teenager. I’m an easy going guy. Oh my God. I was resigned to my fate, regardless. We met again in the conference room after Deirdre had come back from lunch.
