Meeting #1
Jan. 27th, 2008 06:48 pmWell, I think today's first GWW meeting went well (the driving habits of folks in rainstorms is another rant entirely, that can be summed up with "FOLLOWING DISTANCE, BITCHES!!!").
My anal-retentiveness is showing. I already have a list of facilities stuff I need, minimum volunteers I need, etc. I even put together Excel forms for volunteer sign-in, banner nominations, etc. I have my facilities request about 90% done - I want to wait to send it in case I forgot anything, but it's all prioritized and stuff as-is. I'll probably send it off tomorrow night after class.
If I ever get a deputy, they are going to have it SO EASY. (Well, maybe not, because there is a LOT of work the week of war, but...)
And I fully intend to call dibs on what budget allottment I'm given (like renting tents that won't blow away). None of that 'make do' stuff that drove me nuts last October. Nopenope.
L_S, do we have a GWW community yet? I can set one up if we don't. Call it Estrella envy or whatnot, but THEY have one, and we should too, dangit. Useful for official Pub. releases, yanno? (Besides, it's one more soapbox for my 'I need a deputy!' posts...) [Also, other than the fact that What Happens In Meetings/List, Stays At Meetings, you didn't miss a whole lot. Be advised that if you didn't know before, there will be a Procedure in place for donation stuff. I'll give you the rest later. :) ]

I tried taking a nap when I got home, but Willow decided she'd make a better squirmy thing than a pillow. Alas, no sleep for me.
----
So, class tomorrow night. I forgot to go get myself a binder, but I have everything else, so I may as well just leave it all in the plastic bag from the bookstore for now. (Like I need to spend the money, anyway - I have $10 to last me until the 31st. On the bright side, assuming the merit increase and incentive bonuses are substantial, The End Is In Sight. As in, March or April. Pretty fekkin' sweet, given that it's been, oh, three years now.)
