Nope. That was called an apology thing. Because even I know that you can't get by in the world on persistence alone.
Ms. Potts is the consummate professional. Smart. Nothing gets past her. Persistently classy. Even toward the likes of me. And I apparently have a hate group dedicated to me, large enough that the Southern Poverty Law Center can track it. That's quite a feat, which speaks highly of Ms. Potts' skill with corporate diplomacy and her ability to work with every hard-to-handle personality she crosses paths with.
If she offers you a potential internship? Do it. It'd do you a world of good to learn from someone as infinitely good as she is, so you can go out and do even bigger and better things in the world later on.
...like building the best high-end floral delivery system, with a better return option.
