And anyone can email me questions and I respond only via this blog, not to your personal address. However, sometimes you are also given fun work and special projects.

Money/gifts contributions etiquette. When it comes to donating money to causes, gifts, or anything else where a lot of people are also pitching in, don’t be shy to ask how much everyone else is contributing. Answer every email/request right away even if only to say you got it and keep you posted on answer. Caller: It’s Jim.

No word about being late or needing to reschedule, until we received an email 24 hours later. They admit they completely forgot as they had a personal emergency and no one has access to their calendar. It’s harder to listen to phone messages, but people can see emails/texts via Apple Watch while in meetings. A good sign.
