© Copyright Patricia Robb 2010 7 November, 2009 Too much information. Do you have a question or do you want to pass information along to the person.

The space crew had a robot that waved its mechanical arms and yelled, "Warning, Warning, alien approaching" or such other thing to protect and inform the crew. Sometimes I wish I had something to warn me when I am with someone with a cell phone so I can know that we are going to be interrupted. Apparently not, when its by phone.

I breathe a sigh of relief when I get someones assistant on the phone or receive an email from them. If I hear from the assistant I know I am going to get answers and the process of setting up a meeting will go smoothly, but should I try to develop a working relationship with them? They are a valuable resource and I appreciate them.

If you have to answer the phone, deal with an email or attend to something for your boss, do so, as that is the nature of the admin job -- multi-tasking, but once you have done it, go right back to your to-do list, re-focus and continue what you were doing. Once I had identifed the problem, I could make a plan on how to deal with it.

Finally, I asked her how she knew the answers and what was she doing to get the information? Google has an information line ( 1 800 466 4411 ). Of course before I recommend anything I try it out so I picked up the phone and it asked me what I was looking for and what city and province. Too much information.

When I receive an initial request for a meeting, I use a meeting form and write down the information I need: who is requesting the meeting, what is the purpose of the meeting, where it will be held and a phone number or an e-mail address and dates that are available. Too much information.
