Today is the big student event. Of course it is raining but I will be kind of glad when this event is in the bag and over. I have to figure out what to wear and put together an outfit this morning. We have over 300 students and donors attending and woopety. Hope it goes well. Chancellor speaking tonight and all that jazz. Big deal.

A late night of work but will see how it goes. Wish me luck!

Cheers!

PS - layout changed to my favorite one. I like to recycle. Click in to see.

Here is a photo essay of my Seattle trip. I had a really good time and very successful trip to the Pacific Northwest. My event went off well and we had 100 percent show rate to it, well better actually with late RSVPs. That is really good for events like this. People had a good time and the food was super. Yays! Win-win-win. Stayed at the Hotel Andra downtown - a cute boutique chic place and they treated us well. I had a nice room and enjoyed that. VIP treatment. Awesome. I am a little tired from the trip still but it was all worth it.

I spent Thurs with khylea. We did a hike and had dinner. So I got some personal time in too. Woot.

Of a very successful event last night. Our numbers were right, the room looked elegant, the food worked. All elements combined to make it a really great event for the campus. There were some things going on at the campus that might have impacted our event but did not, so hurrah. It was exhausting but rewarding. Yays!

Time to bask in the glow. I am ready for the weekend.

Today I got honorable mention in a campus-wide initiative for my research work. I am doing well! Woot.

So, my event today (faculty mentoring awards ceremony) went really well but sometimes the best laid plans can all come down to this. Your caterer has a bottle opener that is not working, you cannot get the drinks opened and jeebus, you really need the one you had at the office. Why didn't you put the good bottle opener in your event kit bag? *rhythmic pounding of head-to-wall* We worked it out as they had someone bring another bottle opener over but I felt bad for the nice chica having the malfunction, there were some panicked moments and it all came down to that -- NEED BOTTLE OPENER!

You can trust that I will never forget that again. EVERS.

No one else knew about that either. This was all happening in the secret back room. No wig out in front of everyone. I am good. You gotta know that. Never let them see you sweat.

Also...cell phones fuck up PA systems. So when you are at an event TURN YOURS OFF. Just saying. Silent ringing cell phones mess with the address system. My lovely sound system. *head desk*

I did notice that more people attended this awards event this year and on a higher level. I got more upper Uni administration, more Deans and in general, more of the important people. I think I would owe that to the personally sent invitations from the Dean that I sent. It is all the little touches. I got a great comment from our head Dean...he told the crowd that I have a "magic wand" that I wave and make things happen. That was a huge compliment. Stunning really. Ain't no magic tho...totally hard work and PLANNING.

All my big events are over. I got my favorite pizza as take out on the way home. A nice big slice of veggie pizza and a diet pepsi. I was so not cooking.

I think I am exhausted. Hard to tell though. I am a little punchy. :P I am looking forward to reading keiliss's latest chapter. I am totally absorbed by this fic.


I made this!
