Tammi's World

Tin Foil Hat

Well, yesterday turned out pretty well. One of my appointments cancelled (at the last minute, of course) but we'll just reschedule for sometime in January and it'll be fine. The REALLY important one went very well. I just need my competitor to screw up, and I'm *IN*!

I ended up with a "glow" about me. No. The redness didn't fade completely. I still can't figure out why it did that. It's not an unusual routine for me...but I'll be thinking twice before I do it again.

The funny thing is, as often happens to me, I got some fairly weird comments. I've said several times, for some reason people just say things to me that they wouldn't say to others.

For instance.....

It was a pretty busy day at the corporate office. LOTS of buying groups wandering around. Some pretty damned important. Important enough that the entire leadership team escorted them personally.

Well, one of our senior execs kept glancing over at me, sitting at my table working on reports. We've talked a few times over the past months - hell we even had a meeting recently.

Finally he walks away from the buyers he's with and approaches my table.

Tammi?

Yes. (big smile)

I have to say this. I remember you from that other place. I just don't remember you being this attractive.

...............

OK. Nice to hear. Weird. Unexpected. But nice.

However - my knee jerk reaction was to say - well, I've packed on a shitload of weight, lost my tan and grew out my hair. Not sure how THAT equals more attractive.

But I didn't. Just didn't seem the time or place.

So I laugh. Say thank you. And he walked away.

But seriously. Why do people say things like that to me? That's just not normal.......
