Scared and need advice

[avermont]

I think your email was just absolutely fine.

And it is great to run emails by the BB before sending them. We want to respond, not react, so it can be really helpful to get others' input.

Let the L handle it, indeed. What is there to discuss? You need your L opinion to protect yourself.

And yeah, I'm a baked goods girl myself--bagels, bread, muffins--not into the candy/chocolate scene.

Maybe one day I will have a new partner who will present me with a basket of bagels on V-Day! That and some cream cheese--better than chocolate any day!

You're handling the request for a meeting just great, LFA. And I concur--why bring up R stuff? this is a S meeting, not an R meeting.

Keep it up.
