She did it

N, who I have not seen since before the summer, has finally grown taller than I am, although that is not a huge achievement. When my first Swiss boss called my old boss in the States for a recommendation, my old boss raved about me. The future Swiss boss asked, “Can’t you think of anything bad about her. “Well, she isn’t very tall,” my old boss said. In any case N has come a long way since she couldn’t reach the button 6 in our elevator to get to the floor where we had our apartments. She will continue to grow. I am fighting to maintain my five foot one.
