I think Sparky's got the right of it. Enlist her in a joint effort that you're both forced into, bring coffee and her favorite donuts and hopefully the lumberjack will leave the axe at home.
Kristin! I just saw Hot Fuzz with my father. It's made of AWESOME! I could see that one again and again. I think it's going to be preordered from amazon when it's available.
I was thinking switch her to decaf and bring a spork for battle. There's a reason I don't claim to be a people person.
You should go with Sparky's idea.
I was thinking you should create an attractive sign that says "RTFM."
actually, she was told that she would need to go to the group training by a relay from the #2 to her boss. not pretty. I had very little to do with that part of it (she was put on a list of people who should get more training by a number of other people - AND, she also is supposed to help a good number of staff in a whole range of software, so...)
I had to/got to jump in with 'given your tight schedule, wonderfulness and high rank etcetera'... to schedule the separate meeting. She got to name the time. I think reinforcing the external force bringing us together/joint effort is an excellent idea - thank you! Donuts too.
DH just asked "what if person-in-question is on the board?" when he heard I'd asked for buffista wisdom. Isn't he supposed to be helping me stay cool and collected?
I was in my jammies until my mom called to find out if I wanted to go get dinner. I decided that was a good plan and finally showered for the day.
Oooo...Sox, icky situation. Sparky is wise.
I had a caffeinated soda with dinner. That was dumb.
When are you due, again?
June 10 - 7 weeks to go.
I just spent a very nice hour and a half catching up on Stargates after a very disappointing Mets game this afternoon. (They had one spectacular inning, but basically phoned in the rest of it. Bad Mets! No biscuit!)
EVERYONE NEEDS TO GO SEE HOT FUZZ IMMEDIATELY!
Yay!
Wow, Jessica! It seems like the time has flown by from this end of the Internets.
Ginger, how's the vocalizing?
Sox, the other thing you can do is have a time certain when you leave. Announce that you have another meeting, Iris needs to be picked up, etc., etc., so you can keep things moving. An escape plan, for your own sanity.
Sail, have you escaped a workplace recently speaking of work and escapes?
Sox, Sparky is wise, as you already know. And you know, bring a spork anyhow, just in case.
June is an excellent month. I approve.
DH just asked "what if person-in-question is on the board?" when he heard I'd asked for buffista wisdom.
Does he know nothing about our spicy brains and general sparkliness?
As if the person-in-question would fit in here. (Dear person-in-question, If you are lurking? Sorry about that. Here, RTFHumanM. KThxBye! 'fistas)
Cindy! You have the bees tag!
