I decided to carry through on my plans to ask PNG to lunch. I walked up and asked her if anyone had taken her out to lunch to welcome her to the company, she said "So and so did, but I have known him for years." I said, well I'd be happy to take you out again if you didnt have any plans. She said she wasn't sure if she wanted to go out today because of the rain. Todays forecast had called for it to be a nasty day. She said she would think about it, and get back to me.
A few mins before noon, she sent me an e-mail saying no lunch today, she had to return something that she had had in her car for days and she wanted to get it done. I hadn't seen the e-mail, but I ran into her after she got back. I told her, well, next week maybe? She said, yes, next week.
Later I saw the e-mail and I followed it up with "You pick the day next week, don't make me escalate this to dinner, I'm crazy, and I just may do it!"
She replied with something along the lines of "hahahaa, ok next week!"
So right now I figure the ball is in her court. Don't know if she's trying to let me off easy, or if she just had other shit to do, or any of another dozen reasons. Not going to sweat it too much, if she gets back to me, we have lunch, if not, well her loss.
