I hope so, Maria.
Oh, those kinds of things, I always just forwarded the boss' email to the intended target. If I got flack for it, I C&P'd the email to me, addressed it to the target, and put my boss' email in the 'from' line. "Just keepin' you in the loop, boss."
For lo, I am a vindictive and petty passive aggressive person and you do not want to get shirty with me. I can be wide-eyed and deliberately obtuse when called for, too. "But it's so much simpler and saves so much time for you to send it once, to the target, than send it to me and have me repeat the process. I was just saving time and *helping* you!" I'm gonna get yelled at anyway. Might as well get my "you idiot"s in.
But that's me, and nobody's livelihood depends on my dreadful skills, so there you are.
Good luck, Maria
Woes, I had one bite of my dinner and dropped it on the floor. Good day for the dog; the one bite I had was delicious.
My boss sent me an email...telling me to email an author to let the author know he will be receiving a galley. Wouldn't it have taken the EXACT SAME amount of time for her to just email the author herself? And then save me -- and by extension, the AMA -- the time it takes to send that ema
One of my new, above me in the org chart but not quite a supervisor, coworkers does this. She emailed me asking that I email another coworker to ask him a meeting. And to email her back letting her know if he'd come. I know she has his email, and he's hardly intimidating. But no, we needed to double the number of emails in the mix. @_@ Luckily she seems to be the only coworker with that quirk. And in better news, I found out today that I can work from home on Wednesdays. Yay!
Woes, I had one bite of my dinner and dropped it on the floor.
Oh no. That's just cruel. Especially since it was delicious.
I found out today that I can work from home on Wednesdays. Yay!
Yay is right. That's a nice break during the week from being in the office.
Thank you all! We'll see how it goes. As long as it keeps moving forward I should be OK. I will be asking for presentation~ma though. I'll take all the help I can get.
I love working from home on Wednesdays. Except today, naturally, because there was more training.
Maria, much job ~ma. What a crazy situation.
Too Damn High.
Yeah. I'm kind of adjacent to the crazy startup scene -- I mean, I technically work for a tech startup, so there's that -- in a way that sometimes makes me think that it would be better for career advancement blah blah to be in either NY or SF. And then I remember that we bought a house in a MUCH smaller but super-techy area in a dodgy but charming neighborhood near the bottom of the real estate crisis, and I decide that the local tech world is plenty startup-y enough, thanks.
WFH Wednesday sounds amazing. I had a boss once who came back from mat leave at 80%, and Weds was her home day. So nice to mix up the week like that.
When I was full-time retail we got a day off during the week because theoretically we'd work weekends, (although the part-time people always wanted those shifts so I usually did not have to) and Wednesday was my day off. That was nice.
