Ugh. These people at work are going to be the death of me. Many of my special promotions have been allocated to a deputy of the "client." She's very nice, go-getter, blah blah blah. Asking for status updates every three hours, however, is not appropriate. I pass along information as soon as I receive it. I'm known as a compulsive email responder - I don't let items sit in my in-box. So STEP BACK. If I have the answer to your question, I'll send it to you. Geez. I just called L and honestly sounded somewhat testy about a status check she wanted. She was all wounded- and offended-sounding. Gah. Working in a facilitation role can suck. Not to sound anti-feminist, but working with all women can suck as well. posted by Amy 4:17 PM . . .
