FLAGGING E-MAILS
Has this ever happened to you? Your Boss sends you an e-mail regarding a meeting he has at 2:00 p.m. with Dr. Taffy. Upon leaving the office he states, “Please remind me later of my 2:00 o’clock meeting with Dr.Taffy in the Deans Conference Center. You wrote the date and time of the meeting on a sticky note and placed it on your monitor. Just before lunch, the office got crazy!!! Your Boss lost a very important document that is needed for the 2:00’clock meeting and the phone has being ringing off the hook. You receive a call and it was your Boss wife. Not thinking, you grabbed the sticky note, which was the note to remind you of your Boss 2:00’clock meeting, to write down the message. Around 2:30, your Boss said, “Oh, no, you did not remind me of my meeting with Dr. Taffy”.
