Another quick update:

I find it... interesting... that W has sent me TWO work-related emails this week.

The first one was 100% business, just asking a question about a spreadsheet she needed. Not a hint of "personal" to it.

I responded with the spreadsheet and four words: Here you are W.

Today, she emailed me yet again, letting me know that she wasn't able to complete the spreadsheet in the estimated time (which is not an issue) and would get it done by Monday.

If the email ended there, I wouldn't be posting here right now.

But she ended with "I hope you have a good weekend".

I'm not mindreading here, nor am I reading ANYTHING into this. I just find it interesting that a week after setting up these boundaries, she's included a "nicety" in her email for the first time in months.

In other news, it's a BEAUTIFUL day in South Florida and I'm determined to do something completely out of my comfort zone this weekend... Not sure what it'll be yet... But it's gonna be fun! smile
