Not having coffee on demand is wrong. I hope that your shiny new job keeps the caffeine within reach at all times.

Then I would just tell her, flatly, that she doesn't need to be announced, and she can stand there as long as she likes, or she can go on back.

You could also tell her the person hates it when you announce people. Hee!

juliana, I would definitely drop an e-mail so she gets it.

I think an email is okay in that situation, Juliana. It won't be pushy if you throw in something about wanting to catch her before she is out of the office.

Also, GO YOU!

Only part of that needs to be said twice.

GO YOU!

when this woman started working here she'd send me email, then come over and hand deliver a hard copy of the email. She wanted to make sure I got the email.

I think you've told me this before, but it is still mind boggling.

I think an e-mail is okay, juliana. Maybe a note, also, even if she won't get it until after your next interview. nothing wrong with making them remember yo a few times. And way to go rocking the interview!

My boss is also gone and won't be back for two weeks. I'm going to be the Mayor of Boredsylvania.

Awwww! The cook just came to make sure I'd gotten lunch before he started cleaning up, 'cause yesterday I missed lunch. Isn't that sweet?

I don't feel like going to my psychiatrist appointment today. I have no idea if these meds are working or not.

sj, it hasn't been long enough, babe. Tell him that you're not sure...just be honest.

I'm with -t. Sending a quick 'wanted to catch you' email, plus the tangible reminder when she gets back that a card offers is a good plan.

And YAY Juliana! Best of luck.

Good luck, Juliana.

Thanks, vw. I know. I just don't feel like dealing with this right now. I just want something to work and get my life together. I know I am being too impatient. Also, that was very sweet of the cook.
