I had a chat with someone 3 weeks ago about some work. she told me she wasn;t quite in a position to know exactly how much, and terms etc. I asked what the time-table was and - half-jokingly obviously - she said "oh it needs doing by yesterday, but I should think I'll be able to get back to you in a week or two". three weeks later...do I send a casual email? I was thinking something along the lines of "I'm sorting out a few dates in my diary and I wondered if you'd had any more thoughts about the jobby project..."
and on a related note. a friend told someone she worked for that I was interested in similar work and that I would get in touch. the response was, according to my friend, very positive. so I emailed the contact with a very quick outline of who I am and saying it would be good to talk about possible work. how long do I give the contact - bearing in mind my friend says she thinks contact might be away for a "few" days? - and if I do follow up what do I say?
I'm new to all this...can you tell
