PLEASE DON'T LET THIS SLIDE BY.....
PAY ATTENTION!!
NO DON"T LET IT SLIDE! sm
you don't know what she is thinking and you need to explain if you can. Its her choice to believe you or not but letting it slide may come back to bite you later.
I have been a supervisor before and if someone didn't answer an e-mail like that I would figure the next time they just didn't want the extra work and I would not offer it to them. Its not up to the supervisor to ask etc. You have seen the e-mail now so explain to her. Its not that big of a deal to explain but its a bigger deal to ignore it!
honestly, just let it slide. You don't have to say anything. I have a sm
tendency to talk a lot sometimes and write a lot sometimes and I would hate to think that something I said in passing could jeapordize my career. I'm sure she was just trying to be very friendly. I know many recruiters and they are very friendly. I wouldn't say anything.
slide the little slider where it says screen resolution. sm
you may want to play with it to get the size you want. i have mine at 1280 by 1024 pixels.
At one time I would have let it slide, but now I've learned I can't afford it or

No woman asks for it EVER
A woman can be walking down the street naked, she is not asking for rape. No woman ever wants to be raped. Old ladies, young ladies, middle aged ladies get attacked and raped and sexually harrassed and murdered. Women do not ask for this. Until we put the blame where it belongs, on the perpetrator, not the victim, nothing will change. You need some consciousness raising, me thinks.
Someone asks about this company almost
daily. You'll find lots of info on the company board and in their archives.
Get everything in writing. When someone asks
if a company is flexible in hours, what does that mean? It could mean that they're willing to let you switch from the day shift to the evening shift if you request it. It could mean you have a window of time in which to complete your work. Or it could mean that you can work when you want. A question needs to be much more specific than that, and both the question and answer need to be in writing.
DH always asks me if I hit any traffic on the way to work
I always say, no, there was no traffic today. Oh, yeah, the dog was in my way and I tripped over him. Yep, he is just jealous. I could never deal with rush hour traffic again. I just watch for the dog.
Your son asks (in all seriousness and sincerity) sm
Mom, were there dinosaurs when you were a little girl?
C'mon....I'm only 45!!!
Get Turbo Tax, it has a whole section for this and asks you if you have this, this, that...sm
By using this I found 2 deductions I had no idea I could take.
If obnoxious asks something too personal,
ask her why she would ask you that? You just turn the tables. You might ask the question with a look of great interest, as if you really wonder why she is so interested, or you could do it in a tone that lets her know that sounds like a very boring subject, so why on earth would she want to discuss such a thing. If she talks about things not work related, politely point out that you need to concentrate on your work and can't do two things at once. If she seems to be talking about quality issues, consider whether there might be a reason. Anything she makes a claim about, research yourself and see if she is right. Sometimes people who are annoying still know a lot, and have a lot to offer, but nobody will listen. If she corrects something you have been doing wrong and she is right, thank her for pointing it out, make a note of it so you will remember or make an Autocorrect, or whatever so you remember.
If none of these ideas are helpful or work on her, I would come right out and say that we are working close together, and you think your personalities clash a bit, so it might make life easier if you both tried to be as quiet as possible to try to get along. If she doesn't agree, then prepare to keep quiet until it's time to have some fun with her. You know ... the witty jab that takes her breath away when she is least expecting it. :oP
Why dumb? OP asks nothing about add. equip.

i would ask her which time the other friends would be coming and when she asks why, sm
tell her that you just aren't as comfortable with all the extras and would like to visit with just family for christmas. she should separate and have two different get togethers if that is what she wants. don't show up if she disagrees and do your own thing. i am sure some of your other family members would agree and probably come to your house instead.
If Jacy asks a question, don't respond

You sound like my mother! She asks me that every time I tell
Sorry!!! :-)
Give them a range. That's what they do when someone asks what the job pays. SM
Just think about what you are willing to work for and go from there. Or you can just be honest and tell them flat out what you expect. I did that with the full-time job I have. I decided that if I were going to go back to being an employee, I was just going to be totally honest about what I wanted. They pay hourly where I'm at. When the HR girl made the offer, I countered and told her what I had hoped to make. And in the end, I got it which was pretty exciting. Just be professional and honest.
Somebody asks this question every single day. What's the deal?

It's always the first thing a computer person asks me...lol! And it works a lot of the time. nm

Whenever one of my coworkers asks me to listen to a report and fill in the blanks or make SM
corrections, I always put my initials on the report right after hers and I expect anyone who goes into any of my reports to make a correction to do the same and that includes QA people. Where I work, the transcription clerk will put her initials in a report even if she just had to go into the report and delete a blank line to make the report upload correctly. She puts an asterisk by her initials to let us know that she didn't make any changes to the text, just made adjustments for uploading purposes.
I've been told at other jobs by the QA bunch that whatever software we use automatically keeps a virtual record of each person who accesses a report, but I just like knowing who else has messed with my report. I can't tell you how many times when I worked in the office, an irate doctor has come in saying "who's LN" or "who's RB". So if QA went into the report and changed something, I want the doctor to see their initials too.
When a friend asks how you are today you reply "Oh, I'm feeling within normal limits."
Or after a boring weekend when working at a hospital someone asks "How was your weekend?" and
