I again began my day in storage. Things to be done included consolidating shoes and making space on the shelves for the other boxes. As I entered, I was just so overwhelmed with the amount of shoes we have I didn't know where to begin. All the shoes are set up on the shelving units in bins and labeled. I found it difficult to stick exactly to the labels because bins with correct labels were full. For example there is a light women's pumps bin and a dark women's pumps bin. The dark pumps bin is so full there is no way to fit another shoe in there. So I combined some of the remaining darks with the lights, and tweaked the label. I then moved the military boots from the military bin to the lace up boot bin. I did not see the point in having three pairs of shoes in their own bin. I, then replaced the boots, with men's black dress shoes. I now had emptied two bushels and freed up three spots on the shelves. I needed one more spot clear to fit all the boxes on the shelves. So, I relocated the floating purses and placed them in the appropriate bins and had a spot for the last box! next up in storage is the hats, I have just that to do in costumes, and then I'm out of there! (and on to props)
Back at the office Ms. Denise had a list of things to be done for me when I arrived. Some of those things included sending emails, making some calls, and running errands. I began with an email regarding our online sales. Martech had emailed Mr. John to let him know none of our shows were showing up available online. This required a call to my good friend Patrick. Before doing so I went through the shows to make sure everything was set-up correctly. Everything appeared to be in order, so I gave Folio a buzz. However, it wasn't Patrick who I spoke to it was Brian. He went through my system and was unable to find the problem. He then asked me to close Folio and they were going to see what the issue was and give me a call back.
In the meantime, I went to the post office and Copy & Print. Post office, was business as usual. At copy and print I had to special order a leaflet holder for the box office window. Mr. Mike was able to track down the perfect one, and the order should be in soon!
Once I returned, we still had not received a call from Folio. I was beginning to worry it had been almost three hours. I decided to give them a ring and check-in. What I found out was, the data was being sent to the server but not displaying, so there was some sort of glitch in our data. To top it all off, we were the only ones it was happening to. Brian said they had two people working on it and they are in the office for another hour. I was hoping for an update sooner rather than later. Luckily, not too long after I got a call from Joy, another Folio employee. They had figured out the problem! What had happened was one of the start dates for a show was set to the year 2201! This one error on the one show was throwing everything off! Joy changed the date, and everything is now up and running. I guess my quick check, was a little too quick and I missed the error. Thank God for the Folio people, they got us back on track! :) Buy Tickets Now!
Once that was all figured out I began working on a curriculum for next weeks class. I found a lot of exercises that I think would be good for them. Only downside is a lot of them include staying a circle, and I think they will want more freedom. Ms. Denise pulled several books for me to look to too for other exercises. About half-way through my searching I decided to switch gears a little. Also on my list was to polish the medal awarded to the company from the Governor and dust the box it was displayed in. Now it looks shiny and new, very big difference from before. I shifted back to my class planning, and started going through some of the books, I think I will be able to pull at least a few more exercises to complete the day! Until Tomorrow...
