perfect way to describe life in the us at the moment "full of colour and sparkly things", hey don't let your boss get you down, i'm sure that he will get his in the end, they always do
I am pleased for you. It's a very exciting time in the US.
Thanks for the kind words re the boss. He kind of didn't know what had hit him, I was so pissed off at him. But the point I made was correct (and well made, if I say so myself!) and he had to concede :)
