And if you do, do you ever feel bad for making them do things for you?



Today I felt bad. I asked her to get me a cup of coffee and I felt terrible. I felt guilty that I asked her to do this instead of getting it myself.

I mean, who the hellll am I?


I hired her. She's early 50's and an awesome person. I do nice things for her and her family. Her husband is an avid fisherman and set him up on a week long vacation in Wisconsin that I paid for this summer. So I try to do the right things and treat her well.


But today I felt guilty. It was weird.

ohwell

I have one and I rarely ask for coffee/tea but once in a while I'm stuck in meetings and can't walk away so I ask her...

If it makes you feel weird don't do it. Get your own coffee, bring enough to the meeting to last through it, call a coffee break during the meeting, or do without.

I have a secretary
She is divorced, some days in good mood some days not so good
Slim slender legs which go up and up and up
she is 47 good looking smoker (ugh) faily good looking and I like her
When she started she was not very good but she has improved and like Mirror says you can't even speak out of place in the fear of sexual lawsuits and you know how California is famous for thatohwell

My question to you: is fixing, brewing coffee for you or running errands for you is part of her job description?
