    It was amazing... If I had handed her a script, it couldn't have gone any better!

    I agree with MON. We might petition to have BWBShari lead a seminar on how to negotiate. wink

    Definitely sounds wonderful ... crossing my fingers for you that they follow through on all the promises.

    Thanks guys, but honestly, I didn't have to negotiate anything today. I was even brutally honest about the possibility of major meltdowns since he's never been in a demanding environment and she took it all in stride.

    Oh, big YAY!!!!

    It sounds like a program that will be a great fit for your DS with people who get PGness and are going to be on his team.

    What great news! Please let us know how it goes, will you?
