Auditor: rejects report Why are you trying to open a new Advance when you already have one open! You're also missing ALL OF THE OPEN INFORMATION! You should be doing a Replenishment! Not a New Advance!!!"

Even in the notes section, I state: "the original Advance was opened with ERXXXXX. This is a replenishment for a new round of participants."

my coworker and I joke amongst ourselves, and sometimes with our direct supervisor, about the odds of people reading emails or anything at all, no matter how much we bold, change font color, etc.

Both my department heads send out a Weekly email that tells all faculty and students the presentations/seminars going on this week, new news things that should be tooted, questions, and university updates.

๐”‰๐”ฆ๐”ฏ๐”ข๐”Ÿ๐”ฏ๐”ž๐”ซ๐”ก๐”ข๐”ก
but also, if you're not 100% sure before the interview, how do you not prepare for that question so it's at least written down before hand?!

yeah, no kidding. like, just how the interviewee wants to put their best foot forward with the company they're interviewing at, the company should also want to put their best foot forward because you want them to come to you.

Supervisor emailed me and the IT Dude (that we've continuously had a problem with) that the Department Head wants a Documented Process for Meetings and Seminars.
๐”‰๐”ฆ๐”ฏ๐”ข๐”Ÿ๐”ฏ๐”ž๐”ซ๐”ก๐”ข๐”ก
The verbatim email reads:
"She would like documented procedures for Department meetings (one each quarter) and Department Seminar (one each month). The goal is to relieve her of the need to send reminders for each meeting to both of you.
๐”‰๐”ฆ๐”ฏ๐”ข๐”Ÿ๐”ฏ๐”ž๐”ซ๐”ก๐”ข๐”ก
My hope is if the procedures are documented, everyone will be clear on their responsibilities and when each action item needs to occur. "

Can we zoom in on that last bit?

IT Dude came back two days after the email came out (April 29) with, Working on it!
๐”‰๐”ฆ๐”ฏ๐”ข๐”Ÿ๐”ฏ๐”ž๐”ซ๐”ก๐”ข๐”ก
because clearly he also missed the COLLABORATE part of that email. (which is listed in the sentence after what I shared. "Could you collaborate..."
๐”‰๐”ฆ๐”ฏ๐”ข๐”Ÿ๐”ฏ๐”ž๐”ซ๐”ก๐”ข๐”ก
I emailed him back within ten minutes of him saying he was working on it, asking him to share the document with me so we could COLLABORATE
๐”‰๐”ฆ๐”ฏ๐”ข๐”Ÿ๐”ฏ๐”ž๐”ซ๐”ก๐”ข๐”ก
So April 29th. I asked him to share this with me April 29th
๐”‰๐”ฆ๐”ฏ๐”ข๐”Ÿ๐”ฏ๐”ž๐”ซ๐”ก๐”ข๐”ก
IT IS THE DAY BEFORE THIS IS DUE
๐”‰๐”ฆ๐”ฏ๐”ข๐”Ÿ๐”ฏ๐”ž๐”ซ๐”ก๐”ข๐”ก
and he just emailed me the document.
๐”‰๐”ฆ๐”ฏ๐”ข๐”Ÿ๐”ฏ๐”ž๐”ซ๐”ก๐”ข๐”ก
how he logs into WebEx and creates the meeting.
๐”‰๐”ฆ๐”ฏ๐”ข๐”Ÿ๐”ฏ๐”ž๐”ซ๐”ก๐”ข๐”ก
And then how he logs into Outlook to create the calendar invite
๐”‰๐”ฆ๐”ฏ๐”ข๐”Ÿ๐”ฏ๐”ž๐”ซ๐”ก๐”ข๐”ก
THAT'S WHAT HAS TAKEN HIM A WEEK TO CREATE ?!

Meanwhile, having high school flashbacks, I just did it my fucking self. My document?
Monday before the Seminar, send out reminder email to faculty. - Liz
Day of Seminar, Start Meeting at 12pm - Liz & IT Dude
๐”‰๐”ฆ๐”ฏ๐”ข๐”Ÿ๐”ฏ๐”ž๐”ซ๐”ก๐”ข๐”ก
because the point was to have a detailed procedure of WHEN not HOW
๐”‰๐”ฆ๐”ฏ๐”ข๐”Ÿ๐”ฏ๐”ž๐”ซ๐”ก๐”ข๐”ก
She could care less what the hell you do when you log into WebEx to create the meeting
๐”‰๐”ฆ๐”ฏ๐”ข๐”Ÿ๐”ฏ๐”ž๐”ซ๐”ก๐”ข๐”ก
what she wants to know is WHEN you do it, so she doesn't have to continue to send Reminder Emails to get it done
๐”‰๐”ฆ๐”ฏ๐”ข๐”Ÿ๐”ฏ๐”ž๐”ซ๐”ก๐”ข๐”ก
