Email chain betweeb us and our interim interim supervisor (don't ask) regarding our regular weekly one-on-one meeting:

Subject: Reschedule our 1:30pm

Hi, [MDs] --

Not canceling…just hoping to reschedule today's meeting. There's an urgent meeting that [CEO] has asked for around a [Organization]-themed...movie, and I can't miss it…and it's scheduled exactly during our one-on-one!

Can you let me know your availability the next three days (Wed-Fri), so that I can reschedule?

Thanks,
[Supervisor]

You got it, sister! And it appears that, although it wouldn't have been my preference, our weekly one-on-one did, essentially, get cancelled. :-(

But we're on for next week, at 3pm on Tuesday.
