To be still be a bit annoyed at my manager?

My boss is great as a friend, but lacks "managerial pastoral care". Last week I complained to her about something and we met yesterday for different reasons but we did have 3-5 mins to chit chat. I would have expected for her to tell me to add something to the calendar, but alas she didn't. She acted like nothing had ever happened. My DH is not surprised though. I guess I have no option but to proactively book that time with her.

The bigger conversation is that I've organically evolved to a semi hybrid role. Which I'm absolutely fine with BUT it isn't clear to the wider org and sometimes it causes conflict.1:1s are simply not her style.

"Hi Boss,

Hope you're well. I've put this slot in our calendars as I'd like to discuss howy role has evolved these past months. Please just suggest another time if it's not suitable.

Yours, etc"

At meeting:

your specific issues (don't make her winkle them out like posters on this thread)
ask for a series of 1-1s in future
