the second part of this equation is that the thing about which I paged her this morning is

a job lead I received via email for which she would be an ideal candidate. I wanted to email her the lead and talk to her about it some via email.

obvs, this *cannot* be done via text message -- it's a very large file, not text based. so I said to her, "email me when you're in front of a computer."

I almost feel like not passing along the information now. if I recommend her, it's my reputation. if she can't follow a simple request from me, what guarantee do I have that she would act professionally in the interview process or the workplace?

jamie says I am honor-bound to give her the intel. I think I am bound first to protect my own reputation.

go ahead! flame me!

I'd tell her that you have a VIP thing you have to discuss with her; that can only be done by email. If she fails to get back, you've done your duty. - Will Hunting Feb 19, 08:04
sounds like you're not being consistent, though. you're doing some stuff by text. -- nm - loosilu Feb 19, 08:02 3
- I told her via text that I needed to talk to her via email. I was notifying her via text that I had something to discuss via email - the ides of march love mandy lane Feb 19, 08:04 2
  - I still think an important part of communicating is to convey the scope of consequence. YGMing someone about an issue that's private (yet trivial) is - landbeck Feb 19, 08:10
  - I see. then I agree with the majority. -- nm - loosilu Feb 19, 08:05
