The day began like any other. I, of course was late coming into the office. I have got to get that together! Especially my last two weeks! I started with emails and messages, and then decided to move into the Folio binder. I had taken notes and made a to-do list of items that needed to be addressed with Martech. I began going over the list and trying to figure out if any of them I could do on my own. I did some poking through the Folio system and had no success! A call or two would have to be made to address the issues. But, first a trip to storage with Mr. John was in order to see my progress!
He was very pleased and said everything looked good. There was a few floater items and overstuffed bins. That is where Mr. John comes in. He pulled items to get rid of and told me what actually needs to come back to the theatre and what can stay. We were able to get rid of some pillows and two computers. This freed up a lot of space! Now the Frog and Toad bins are able to be filed together, and there are no longer bags of pillows floating. Most items were to be thrown away, but the few other pillows and blankets were to be dropped at Barkin' Basement.
I stopped back at the theatre to eat lunch before running some errands. The students from Sage School were rehearsing a play they have coming up to be performed at the Liberty. I enjoyed the show as I ate. I'm not exactly sure what the show was about, but it involved a lot of history and accents! After lunch it was on to my errands.
I first had to drop a copy of Commencement at Mr. Joel's that I meant to take with me when I went to storage because it's on the way. However, I had to do some back tracking. After the drop onto the P.O. The usual in and out and I was on my way again. Last, but not least was my stop at Barkin' Basement. A quick drop of blanket and pillows and back to the theatre.
When I arrived back I got back to my Folio list. I then, called my BFF Patrick to get some help. I was able to fix 2 of the 4 problems with Patrick's help. As for the other issues, one could not be resolved, but was not a huge set-back, and the other is our email system through Folio. It is something I will have to get in touch with Gmail directly about.
I also spent a part of the day sending emails back and forth to figure out an automatic response email we can send out to patrons to confirm their ticket reservation. It is a work in progress and just waiting on the closing comments. I also have to put together a Box Office Guidebook before I leave. This will include some basics of the box office as well as a closing comments script that should be gone through with the patron on the phone at point of sale.
The rest of the day was spent reading. I'm currently reading The House of Blue Leaves. I have unfortunately lost count of what number play this is, but I think I'm getting up there, maybe 20? Who knows, but if you look at my bag I still have a lot of reading to do, and just two weeks to do it! Until tomorrow...
