I probably should have mentioned that the co-worker is field staff, and is hardly ever in the office. She works basically from her car, going to patient homes all day. She knows me because we were in orientation together.



I really didn't see it as a "ballsy" request or invite....  I saw it more of a genuine desire to be a part of the shower (if I was having one) and a request she not be left out (like she'd probably be since no one would think I know a field staffer).



As for the timing of the shower....  they are always during lunch, and the 2 receptionists would forward the phones into the conference room to answer, and would have a volunteer (meaning your typical elderly, non-profit organization volunteer, not a paid staffer being left out in the cold) sit at the front desk to watch for guests.
