Thank you for all the excellent meeting vibes.
At first I thought they weren't working. O ye of little faith. (That would be me. Ye is me. Ye is I? I am ye?)
Anyway - what happened was.... I made myself look as lovely as possible - Bohemian - yet businesslike - a force to be reckoned with, and started out an hour early to give myself plenty of time to find the place (in Beverly Hills), park, relax. My first mistake was trusting the Mapquest Directions - which seemed pretty straightforward.
At the point that i realized that I was lost, it was still a half hour before meeting time. I knew that I was in the general neck of the woods, so no worries. WRONG. Ten minutes before meeting and I seemed to be no longer in the Hills of Beverly. So, at a red light, I shouted out my car window at a gentleman who was walking with some purpose and had no camera. Therefore, not a tourist and possibly someone who knew the area. By the time he figured out what I was asking and quickly shouted out directions, the light changed. He shouted at me to turn left. And I did. From the middle lane. Three guesses as to what the next noise I heard was. ...Anyone who said "A siren" wins the door-prize. Sooo... I pulled over on a side street. Made myslef look as lost and confused as possible. (Which wasn't hard - because I WAS lost and confused.) The officer took all my paperwork and went to his cruiser. He came back in a few minutes and - bless his heart - did not give me a ticket. He did give me very detailed directions. ...Which for some reason did NOT lead me to my destination.
By now I was officially LATE. For a first meeting. With someone on whom I was trying to make a good impression. There's a lot more boring detail - but I finally did find the place (after two calls to his assistant) and arrived a mere 20 minutes late.
He was very sweet about it all and we had a superb meeting. I won't know the outcome until Monday, but really, the meeting couldn't have gone better.
So the HHW Vibes worked, as always. And I thank you all.
