Did I Make Gerda Mad?

I had to laugh when I read DCP's post. This past yr in Valley Forge I was at the IP party talking to a friend that's a pro player and they introduced me to another player who was standing there. During the conversation, I believe the person asked me if I was a "player" and my response was something to the effect that I have a real job. I didn't mean it the way it came out but it was too late... out loud this guy hollers out to another player sitting talking to other people and said "hey so & so, she says she has a REAL JOB". LOL, smart ass! Anyway, I had to pretty much tell everyone w/in earshot that I what I meant was besides the fact that I don't/can't play, I PREFER to have medical benefits, and a "guaranteed" check every week. :)

If I played pro calibur when I was much younger and less knowing... I would've made the choice to go pro. Now, older & a little wiser to the ways of the world... not a chance. However, that's just my personal preference made from how my life has played out.
 
Of course there is also the possibility that she does not remember you nor recall the statement.

Send her a nice bouquet of flowers the next time she is playing.

In Peoria a few weeks ago Gerda was signing some autographs for some people, and i was seated right next to all of this. so i asked Gerda how school was going, and how long she had left to go. she replies this is her last year, as she is signing some autographs.

then i said "After you graduate you can get a real <A TITLE="Click for more information about job" STYLE="text-decoration: none; border-bottom: medium solid green;" HREF="http://search.targetwords.com/u.search?x=5977|1||||job|AA1VDw">job</A>, huh?"

to which she replies:

"We'll See"

did i offend her?
did i make her mad?
her tone seemed to indicate that.
the other people there kinda laughed.
oh well.

If you offended her:

a) she has a poor sense of humor
b) the truth hurts, she'll live.

I know, I'm a cold bastard....
 
From what I've heard, she's a very nice person. You should send her an email and let her know what you said and that you meant no harm. I'm sure she'll appreciate the follow-up on your part. The fact that she's going to school does indicate to me that she's probably going to do something besides being a full-time pro pool player.

DCP,
Well, at least you didn't ask her if she wanted some company when she went back to her room (or did you???).
