I closed it after a while with an audible<em>glup!</em><br/><br/><em>He's... <span class="bbc_u">trusting</span> me with adding my knowledge to his? To what the owners might want?</em>I was stunned, before in the hotel chain it had been 'do this, do that, carry these, wash those...' and no initiative allowed, in fact if you spoke out of turn you were looked down on as a brown noser or trying to steal someone else's job...<br/><br/>In my amazement I stood there... for several seconds I did nothing but fish impersonations.<br/><br/>Then I curtseyed very low,<strong>"Mai oui! Naturellement! Um, I mean... very much, I would like that. That kind of trust and respect... I've never been given that before."</strong>I beamed at him.<br/><br/><em>I like you Mr. Carstairs, is the owner as nice as you?</em>
