I just did. You have a way of surprising us in dropping a hint like "whew" which made me think, this guy was really something, he wore her out -- but your "whew" was for a whole different reason.
As for "Adam" - your first white guy what was he thinking? That's a way to have a woman be attracted to you? Someone of your intelligence and class? And then he goes and tells the boss the lie that you beat him up, and he's not ashamed of that? The whole office already knew? What is wrong with these people?
Anyway, Natalie, you are a wonderful writer, intelligent and witty and you keep it real. I believe you see life as it is, and that is rare.
