Self Esteem

One of my supervisors was working with me today.  She's great and alot of fun, but she's in her 70s and says EXACTLY what she's thinking....often lacking tact or sensitivity....usually at my expense....and today was no different.  We were talking to one of our clients who had recently grown a beard.  And granted, it did look
bad.  So she asks "What the hell is that?" and he explains that it's cold outside and he works outside alot, so the beard helps.  And then she says "Okay, I'll accept that" and then she turns to me and asks "So, then what's your excuse?"  Thanks boss, that's exactly what I needed.
