Her: "I think you need to let me do PR, Jenn - it's all about content. I'm not sure what you would tell him...am I missing something?"
Me:
(privately), then
"First off, I want to commend you on getting (bigwig from local company that rhymes with Sicromoft) to come to campus. This is a big coup and should be applauded. Thats why Ive jumped on the info youve sent me and tried to move quickly with it: its just one week away. {BIG work event} is also next week. Im happy to be briefed by you on (bigwig)s content and work with (PR guy). I do know that youre not typically (at work) in the mornings. That was my thought process, not that I would simply proceed without any info about Bigwig from you. If you prefer to work with PR guy directly, please do so. Hes in the last office at the opposite end of our floor, across the hall. He is very good at PR, and will certainly have ideas about how to attract an appropriate audience for such an esteemed guest speaker."
Her: "I think it's great to get PR Guy involved - a good idea."
Me:
This person treats me like this all the time.
