Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I don't think she knows she didn't tell me (which is ridiculous, because she knows she never actually provided any kind of orientation/training).
I think it would be a good idea to remind her that you haven't had any orientation or training and ask for any information that is available so you can avoid similar issues in the future. People forget that not everyone knows the things they know.
And I don't doubt that she's juggling multiple freelancer balls and completely forgets what you don't and do know. Never ascribe to your stupidity what other people's lapses explain.
Could you say, " to avoid these types of omissions in the future, is there any type of guidebook or paper on your standard practices. I did not receive one when I started work and it seems that there are some items that it is assumed I should know."
I would just state it every time, without making a blanket statement: "Oh, thanks so much--I didn't know there was such a thing as XYZ. It's really helpful to know, and I'll be sure to refer to that going forward!"
Yeah, that's good, too.
I cannot get this day underway. I forgot to charge my phone or set my alarm last night, so the whole morning has been playing catch up and I failed to eat breakfast. Shoulda stood in bed.

She is juggling a LOT, but even so, I don't know if *she* remembers I didn't get any training. You know? If she thinks that she did give me training, then I look like a big ignorant ass, and if I try to say, hey, you didn't give me any training, then I look like I'm just making excuses.
I don't think you look either of those ways.
Low motivation morning.
Teppy, I agree with msbelle and Jesse. Who knows what other balls boss lady is juggling and a gentle reminder that added information is needed is a good thing. It isn't that YOU need the info, it is that ANYONE editing that paper/artile needs that info.
We have been making breakfast "muffins" Sunday nights for the last couple of weeks - tater tots smooshed in the bottom of a muffin pan, veggies - spinach, mushrooms, onions, red peppers, then egg and some cheese. So nom. And easy.
I would go with msbelle's suggestion.
I will also note that there is no shame in being ignorant of something you had no way of knowing.
