I met RICHARD BRANSON today....!!!!!!

[Mellyrose]

So yeah...I've been super busy all week, so when I was called up front to man the desk while the receptionist ran an errand, I was slightly annoyed it was pulling me away from my project.

Little did I know...

Just 15 minutes later, I'm just minding my own business, reading a book to pass the time until she got back, and I hear the elevator *ding* so I put the book down and look up and WHO WALKS INTO MY OFFICE?! Sir Richard Branson. I have never been so star struck in my life. My heart was pounding and I must have been making the stupidest face ever. I greeted him with a (probably goofy) smile and asked who he was there to see and before he could answer, someone else came out to greet him. He asked if he could have a mint (!?!?) off of the desk, I told him yes and that was it. He was friendly and had a strong presence...but it was all pretty much a blur. :shock:


REALLY ****ING COOL. :mrgreen:

Sounds like an episode out of Seinfeld :)

And so you met this plug ***** airline CEO and didn't plug your BF's site??!!!!

[lijk604]

I mean you should have at least given him an NYCA postcard!

Could you imagine if all of a sudden we get a new user - "SRB CEO VA".

Now THAT would be COOL!
