I WANT to know what your nag of a boss (redsuit lady) said. Think we want to know all the juicy details of the other boss to that said negative things.

I do not intend to share those details. They both said congratulations today. [-SM]

That is so awesome !!!! You made your way up quite quick and seems if you did it with lots of grace and very little toe stepping(if any) just using contacts CONGRATS !!!!
