confused by compliments

when i was at sabathani today, i was sitting behind the front desk, answering the phone and some older lady walked into the sabathani office and she asked if she could see someone, then when she was done and she was walking out of the office, she looked at me and said, "..you look like an attorney.." and i wasn't sure if she was meaning it as an insult or compliment, so i just said, "heh." to her, i'm sure she could tell by the way i said, "heh." to her that i was confused by the statement so she clarified quick and said, "i mean.. it's a compliment because you look so official behind the desk." and then i kinda laughed and said, "i know.. heh.. thanks." (i didn't ACTUALLY know but i was trying to be reassuring so she wouldn't feel like i was a nervous cunt). i think i'm finally getting to know what i'm doing a little better at sabathani now because i don't have to ask justin questions as much as i used to. justin is pretty much the one who seems more willing to lend an ear/hand when i have questions, his office is probably closest to the front desk too but it's nice having someone willing to be so patient and helpful to me. he reminds me of my cousin joe, so i feel more comfortable asking him for help too. i need to check if my job coach is gonna be at my place on time to take me to my interview tomorrow.. she probably won't answer the phone now but i can at least leave her a message.
