unicornduke Work this week consists of waiting on other people mostly. As a low-on-the-totem-pole (side note, what's a good different term for this because I'm thinking about this and hmmm that doesn't sound like a great term to use, low in the pecking order? last in the lunch line? last bowling pin standing? Last on the swingset? Okay, I'm just making these up) person, I'm mostly working on the physical aspects of conference preparation: printing things, assembling things, etc.
Which none of those things are complete for me to do them! Our conference starts Tuesday!
Like, we're running the dang thing!
I've kept the attendee list up to date and I've got it filled out as best I can. Some people just don't respond when you ask them basic questions like, what are the names of the people attending?
Wild.
Also I'm keeping the attendee spreadsheet up to date in an excel spreadsheet which is terrible and there must be a better way but after this year, that's no longer my problem so long as our new admin stays on since I was just covering for previous admin leaving.
I've been prodding people about various things and they finally got shit like the lanyards ordered on monday.
The problem is that I wasn't hired until after the conference last year and the admin who handled it left in November so apparently no one else knows how to run this? Like, what? Granted, this is our second year doing this but also basic shit like brochures and lanyard and signs are all getting done last minute which costs more which is not good because budgeting.
I'm just hoping our new admin doesn't run away from us....
