A Spectral moment at Sri Lankan
So I had a moment akin to what Spectral was going on about a few weeks ago, but the adjective was less beautiful and more unbearably cute (and I mean absolutely no disrespect). The last time I was at the Sri Lankan Airways office at the World Trade Center I noticed her, but just peripherally as being phenomenally cute and very, very good at her job. She handled a customer call from some joker wanting to buy a Qatar Airways ticket from Sri Lankan brilliantly, pure class.
This time around I actually got counter number 4 and man was I blown away. Just the way I like a girl, Sri Lankan, petite, bit fair for my taste, bit of a strange name Viyani I think, sharp nose and big, brown eyes (sorry savi3 I couldn’t see her legs, so not sure if she fit the long legs requirement) and oh so cute! The best part about is instead of me being tongue-tied and lost which has been the case since I lost my mojo I was actually (I think) pretty charming and funny. Had a nice banter about the weather in California and Sri Lanka, compared the beauty of both countries, the deficiencies of the British and American airport systems and rather confusing, intriguing number system they have going on at the office.
Dare I say if I had all my mojo intact I would have asked for a number, but the healing process takes time. And I was just happy to leave with a big grin on my face, knowing I still had some of my old touch. Actually the best part was that I, very truthfully, pointed out that I fly Sri Lankan all the time because of their excellent customer service and she was a shining example of that. And thus left her with a smile on her face and I’m hoping the contented feeling of having a happy, satisfied customer leaving with his faith in her airline intact. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making my day….and I hope I made yours!

“had a nice banter about….the deficiencies of the British and American airport systems” - You smooth talker you!

Aww good to see you back in the saddle so to speak. Nothing like a bit of unexpected eye-candy to perk up the day is there?:D

I actually have a friend has the exact taste as you… he simply goes ga ga over women like that..but tries to be impressives and hasn’t really hit the mark yet, i must say..
