No answer. If she's not there by 8:30 I'm going to have to try negotiating directly with Potential Boss, which is obviously a skill I'll need to develop, but right now I'm all about what's easiest and most likely to get me what I want.
Susan, it's not even 8:30 in the morning where you are. Don't stress out about it yet.

Susan, I'm just wondering -- would calling so early possibly irritate them? I know that whenever the phone is ringing as I'm walking into the office, under-caffeinated and half-asleep, whoever is on the other end is likely to die.
Steph, that would normally be my impulse, to allow people time to get in and caffeinated, and call around 9:00, but Potential Boss specifically asked that I let them know first thing, since if I say no they want to move straight on to the next candidate. PB gets in around 7:30, and C between 8:00 and 8:30.
Susan, I know when my supervisor says "first thing" she usually means about an hour after she actually gets into her office. She has to deal with email and voice mail and she sometimes that takes time.

I'd give C. until 8:45 and then call.
Oh, Juliana.
{{{}}} Sweetie, we may be in LA, but if there's anything, and I mean anything you need, you let me know. Please.
good luck Susan

Our main reading room has been in the process of being refurbished. For a while, it was without any furniture -- just newly sanded/varnished paneling and shiny new cork flooring. The furniture and bookcases have started to arrive, and I must say, although the new Eames chairs are lovely, I miss the big chocolate-dipped ballroom.
