I set it all up the night before, then in the morning I just put the sweetener in the pot and flip the switch (seriously, how is it I never thought of putting the sugar in the coffeepot before my dad mentioned it? Genius!).

You're working with a recruiter, Nora? Then I'd definitely send the note you drafted above.
One of the most stressful things about job hunting IME is that feeling that you can't make the teeniest misstep or do or say anything that might come across as the least bit uncooperative or whatever that might put you in the "too much trouble" pile. Even things that are totally reasonable. It's so much easier when you have a go-between for things like this.

x-posted from Natter, 'cause this is really a bitches sorta question:
Hivemind, how do we feel about at-work baby-shower games? I made a very silly quiz for my coworker who loves (like, loooooves) Barack Obama last spring and it went over well. Now I am being encouraged to do some activity for today's shower. All I can think of is a simple "name that baby" thing where I give out slips and pencils and ask people to make (anonymous, and I hope funny) suggestions. Too lame?
One of the things I like least about my job is that by virtue of being the admin assistant, I am the de facto social director for my department, a position for which I am SO TOTALLY UNSUITED.

It's not a recruiter, it's the HR director for my School within my Uni.

I tend to not plan when I'm going to bed, I just end up finally laying down and passing out (usually far later than I should). Making the coffee before sounds like planning.

Ah. Well, I still think it's a good idea to get it on the table sooner rather than later.

That's my thought too, brenda. Just want to put it out there with a fairly soft touch.

Trust my rage
sorry flea, but knowing what I know of you, I find this
I am the de facto social director for my department
very funny.
I hate most baby shower games, but this site [link] has some that might be okay. There was one about baby IQ (i.e. did you know that....) and another one about "Have you ever...." Their "have you ever" was not baby related, but you could make it like Kat's mommy merit badges?
