#All of my co-workers are pharmacists who don't do retail work

This month into next month is going to be busy for me at work. The main executive at the state office has been sending me some urgent report requests which I've been handling.

She sent one at 4:40 ish EDT yesterday. When I went to check to see if she was still online, I saw that she wasn't. I was working on something else for her so I figured I'd just reply in the morning that I got it and would work on it next.

My boss sent me a Teams message seeing if I could take a call (I love that, btw. I hate random Teams calls with no warnings). Seems that the exec texted her asking if I had gotten her urgent email and wanted my phone number.

I am SO HAPPY my boss didn't just give her my cell. The only number on my signature is my Teams phone, which would've been fine. I let my boss know that the exec didn't mark it as urgent, so I had no idea it was another urgent one. I let my boss know what I mentioned above and she understood. My boss said she'd reply to her text letting her know I was aware and would reply to the email, which i did.

My boss was exasperated. "Boy, I tell ya, she is all over the place today!" but she stopped herself. It was enough venting to let me know she wasn't happy about the situation but she remained professional.

This is a way different experience than when the head of one department just gave my cell number to a vendor who tried to get me to join a meeting after I logged off for work. That story is here (x) and happened during my two weeks for leaving the hell TX job.

The gist of the video is that the department head wanted manual corrections to things that should not have been manually corrected and was not part of my job. My boss at the time tried to back me up and the department head/ director looped in the CEO, CFO and some other c suite person. So glad I'm not there anymore
