I was in my late 20s when my boss at the time referred to me as "a woman in a hurry." Feeling that was appropriate recognition for my hard work and initiative, I glowed with the praise.
It wasn't until this year that I realized her "compliment" maybe wasn't quite as positive as I had interpreted it to be.
