She's baaaaaackkkkkkkk! And I know how much you have missed my Foolish ways! ;)
First day back and the office and I was ready to work! I of course went up to say hi to Ms. Kris and Mr. John first. I, and then, of course, again got caught up in telling about my trip home. Which was wonderful, and I was so glad to be home. I also got an update on how Fools Day went. It was a great success. Lots of people came and everyone was in good spirits, and are very excited about the new season. I'm so glad it went well, and am just a little upset I missed it.
After my mini catch up I returned to the office to get started on my list waiting for me. :) First up, continue work on the Flex letters to be sent out. Mr. John had the inserts printed and they just needed to be stuffed, sealed, and sent out! I began with the 211 envelopes that already had Flex Pass letters in them and were just waiting for inserts. I got more than halfway through when I ran out of one of the inserts! A quick call to Copy and Print by Mr. John and we should have the rest of the inserts by the top of next week.
Ms. Denise had finally arrived back from her meeting, and I was excited to catch up with her too! She immediately asked if I had made a decision about the summer. After much deliberation, a chat with mom and dad, and a few tears later I had come to a decision. I have decided to go home for the summer. It was a very tough decision to make, but I feel like it is the best for me. I would love to stay, but being home with my family made me realize how much I miss them and I feel like I need to be home and working, and getting ready for my next semester. I still feel like I"m questioning my decision especially after being slightly abused for my decision :) But it also made me feel good. It's good to know the company likes me enough and wants me around this summer to give me a hard time about it. I'm sad to be leaving, but I know it's right for me right now. Hopefully I will be back though! (COF can't get rid of TheIdahoFool they've made that easy)
After a few hits I was back to my list. I began typing up the volunteer guidelines into a Word document to send to Ms. Denise and Ms. Danni. That took some time, but not as long as expected. I think being an intern as improved my typing skills :) I got through it much quicker than anticipated. After that email was sent off I began entering emails into our constant contact system. This system breaks down our patrons into different lists, most commonly used and houses new contacts, the patron list. I added the new emails we had gotten from the Fool's Day door prizes. Now, those new patrons will be kept up to date, and receive the company newsletter.
I then moved onto preparing the ticket box for the upcoming shows. It was slightly confusing because some of the dates overlap. The goal was to have the first three events and/or shows set up and ready to file tickets. Well, Shanley dates overlap with Circle Mirror dates, and Circle Mirror Dates overlap with Heart & Music dates. After some tweaking of the labels had been done, the dates were set and the shows were ready for tickets to be filed under them.
Before heading out for the day, and getting a few more hits, :) I had a two more things on my list that could be completed. Even though we did not have all the inserts I was able to seal and meter the letters that were ready to go out. Sealed, metered, and bundled, they were ready to go! Last thing up, recycle! Always, a classic and easy job. I, however, failed to batch up before I left for Ms. Susan. She comes on Fridays to take care of the bookkeeping, and I failed to do my only job associated with that. Guess, I'm not quite back in the swing of things. I have the next two months to get back in the game :) Until tomorrow...
