One of the things that cracked me up at my old company was that when Mare-Bear and I were fired up about something that happened to her, I would start spouting off stuff in response on her behalf, which Mare-Bear would quickly write down and shoot off in an email.
Just now an admin came to me asking how to type up an agenda and after telling her what to do based on an original agenda she showed me, she shared that since there were 7 people speaking on each category, she didn’t know how to put their names in the agenda. I said, “That’s for your boss to do – he knows who is speaking about which topic.”
“So what should I do?”
“Type up the agenda, leave out the names, and ask him to write in the names which you will then add to the final electronic version and print. Just tell him that because their are multiple speakers under each category you need him to fill in the names.”
“Oooh…that sounds good, let me write that down.”
At that point I started laughing because that’s just what Mare-Bear would do (I’m sure the admin thought I was crazy for laughing).
