What's on Your Wednesday Menu, RNYers?

I"ll be your neighbor.  Are you headed to Toronto?  Maybe I can become licensed to practice law in Canada.  If not, maybe Starbucks will hire me

Ok YES, come to Toronto!!  You and Nikki come here and practice law here!  I work in down town Toronto but live in the burbs outside of Toronto.  We could totally go running together and meet up at Starbucks together!  Oh I can see the headlines now " three skinny women cause havoc in downtown Toronto Starbucks but before Police could apprehend them they all ran away, oddly looking fabulous doing it!" 

Ok you said Starbucks, I obviously need coffee!

Well my dear Nikki, I assure you if you and the Mamata2 family come I will make you love snow! LOL LOL

Seriously what is with Trump, the man scares me!  I would be considering getting out too!

I can tell you right now you are hired, or yet let me work for you, I actually hate having direct reports! 

Yes PREFERRED method of correspondence Email/Text, they are tied for #1, In person is #2 and phone is #3.

I am one of those people that you all hate.  I have people send me emails and IMs all of the time asking for compliance advice and regulatory interpretations.  I find that I generally get only a part of what I need to know to provide good information, and often only get the the information they want to give me in order to get the answer they want.  So, I generally have to call them or set up a meeting to talk through the issue.  The details matter people!

Ok, ok, I'll admit that sometimes a call or meeting request is appropriate - but when we're talking about an email saying "Do X, followed by Y" and it's something these people do EVERY. DAY. there really isn't a need for a call!

AMEN Sister!  Preach on Anny!  Could not have said it better myself!  

No hating here! I totally get what you mean.  Depending on the question/answer sometimes you need to call or spend time in person to explain, I totally get that.  And I actually agree with you 1000%, details matter. I am actually told by my hubby I am too detailed, so right there with you.  It is very situational.

Preach it Sista! I have some people that report to me that are like that on some days. I also have one that gives me a "duh" look when I know she knows what I asking her to do!!!

I couldn't agree more with all of your thoughts on texting, emailing, etc.  I also email because I want a reply in writing. I have voice mail on my phone and have been contemplating deleting it completely or seeing if I can just put an outgoing message that says, "If you have reached this message, please send me a text or email.  If you choose to leave a voice mail, I may not get it for weeks.  Have a good day."

Not about a business setting, but we have some neighbors who have adopted several foster children--big family, big house.  Their home message says something like:  "If you have reached this message, it doesn't mean we aren't home.  It just means we all thought someone else would get the phone.  Call back!"

Also a friend who NEVER answers her voice mails--her husband finally recorded this message on her phone:  Hi! This is [Name's] phone.  She never checks or answers her messages, so don't leave one."
