Hello all, I have 2 recent situations which I would like your advice.
#1 - I work with a fellow who is constantly asking me for things. I am a Community Relations Rep so part of my job is to work on sponsorships of community events and donations.He has asked me for 2 donations to different events recently which I have given him.He also suggests things and I believe he is trying to be helpful but his suggestions seem to involve more work for me.For example,he suggested I get these long-sleeved shirts made for him and the rest of the managers for an event they have to participate in because he likes long-sleeved shirts.while i don't think this would be too much work - i actually do not like saying yes to him because i feel resentment towards him for all the stuff he asks for! any advice?
#2 - i am in a dance group and frequently many of the girls arrive late and when they do arrive they waste a lot of time chatting.Hence sometimes we accomplish as much in 3 hours as we could of in 1 hour.i don't have all the time in the world to piss around and it makes me resentful.i received an email from the leader who asked if i could meet this thursday at 530.i asked her if we would be done by 730 (as this is the time i decided i want to leave).she said replied back "i think so".i want to positively reply back to see if she would mind sending the girls a reminder that we need to be on time and stay on task.any advice for how i should word it?
Appreciate support and advice![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif)
