If it's happening multiple times, I'd just start referring her to the date of the previous time she asked the same questions. And cc whoever you both report to.

I'm horrible with things like that, I like to confirm I know the steps I'm about to do, but at least I phrase it as "I need to do these steps, right?" Supervisors get annoyed that I ask multiple times, but at least all I want is a "Yes, that's correct."

Oh sweet Jesus, sarameg. It's a miracle there isn't a dent in your desk from all of the times you've beat your head on it.

I need to rsvp for the company holiday party. Do I want prime rib, lemon grilled chicken, or grilled portobello mushroom?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Prime rib.
At least that's what I want.

I was able to book a flight out to SF for Patty's memorial on the 31st. Her husband's memorial was so much bigger than they expected - he had been a math teacher in SF for yonks and a big activist. Patty's is bound to be even bigger with all the work she did for child care in SF and nationwide. For me, she was a family friend, a fixture in my life, and a big part of my childhood. Such a different perspective.
I'm hoping I can stay at my dad's while I'm out there. I had to add a few extra days to keep the airfare as low as possible.
Ok, enough of the me stuff. sarameg, please stock up on bubble wrap or bring in a pillow to protect your head from all the headdesking.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I'm on hold with our health insurance company because CVS just called me to tell me they were filling an Rx for me and when they ran the insurance information it said I wasn't covered. That's...odd.
This feels just like being back at my old job, where they routinely forgot to pay the premiums and our coverage was dropped.
When I called Humana, the recording said there was a very high volume of calls, so I'm wondering if this is a glitch on their end, and everyone is calling to find out why they're suddenly not covered.
