Peaches,

If the meeting was your boss's, and yours from a planning perspective, why did you allow someone else to organise catering?  Would you not want to have control over that and do it yourself?

In my organisation each assistant is responsible for their boss and his team/dept, which includes planning and organising meetings as well as any catering requirements.  Requests are booked in line with our company policy and must be approved in advance.

I can of course organise catering for another assistant who is sick or on leave, but the same rules apply.

I wouldn't allow this person to get involved in the future if this is how she deals with things.  I also blame whoever signed off the catering request.
