what about when you are buried in 10 projects? I bet that makes it easier? ;-)
I hope you got a day off finally! Get some sleep?
This isn't a come-on. I'm in a very serious relationship with a landscape architect.

Our wings are not tired
Yeah, I took yesterday off, but today it's back to work, I've been on the phone and email about Xmas music in Beverly Hills, and traded some emails with Nickelodeon (Looks like yet another trip to Florida is in the works).

Susan, if she's treating you like clerical, is that someone else's duties?
Well, that's the thing--we really don't *have* clerical staff. I do a lot of the general logistics/administrative stuff for the entire department, but everyone is supposed to keep their own calendars and make their own copies and so on.
Maybe it's going to be OK. She just asked me to reply to an email about her availability at a certain time and I just sort of lifted my eyebrows, not sure what to say. She asked if I kept her calendar, what I'd done for Acting Director, was that part of my job, etc., and I said it wasn't. So now she wants to see a copy of my job description to have a better idea of my role, so I've printed one off to show her. Fortunately it's pretty clear that I'm supposed to manage/support a PROGRAM as opposed to any one PERSON.
Sigh.

In a "rolls eyes" moment, and a "patrons are stupid too", here is a note from this weekends performance:
A patron in front row end seat right aisle complained of having obstructed seats due to ASL interpreter's placement in front of them. I moved them to open seats in front row middle section.
Mind you, the folks doing the sign language are on the extreme edge of the stage, all the way down and right, so standing on the edge, right next to the wall. Behind them was... yup, you guessed it, a WALL of scenery. Obstructed? :: rolls eyes ::
(maybe I'm just a lil too sensitive to ADA types of things, I dunnno. I just found that a bit ridiculous)

A very good sign! Maybe someone told her "And Susan will be your admin."

That's progress Susan!! At least she's cool enough to sense that she asked something that was a faux pas. And kudos that she wants to figure out what it is you do and stuff! Yay for progress!!!
(OK, I really should be doing work. no... really) :: sips more sugar-ade....er..lemonade ::

OK, so this is a from a performance report from the stage manager:
Bobo lost some feathers from his loincloth. Repaired with hot glue during Chapter 10
I dunno, it just sounds painful... hotmelt glue gun...loincloth.... ow!
Put the sugar down. Now step away slowly.
But..but... it's so YUMMY!! (slurps straw as it's almost empty)

I don't think it was that, just that the program at her former hospital was structured differently, so she *expected* me to be in the same role as her admin back in Arizona.
We're going to meet tomorrow to go over things in greater detail. I'm going to try to draw clear boundaries, because I *do* do a lot of general admin-support work for the department as a whole. It's just to me there's a clear difference between booking rooms for classes and meetings or setting up HIPAA training for the new groups of interns and keeping someone's calendar or typing their letters.
