Organized Chaos

For those of you not intimately involved in meeting planning, the organized chaos of the office is pretty typical of a meeting and event coordinator. Being tooooo organized and neat is just plain suspicious in my mind....or perhaps that is how I like to justify the way my desk looks.... Take a look at my office.

Now you wouldn't realize it but there IS a method to my madness I swear!!!

In addition to all of these piles of agendas, flows, budgets, meeting approvals, binders etc........we also could serve as a mini UPS facility with as many boxes, gifts, awards, and promotional merchandise and materials we ship out for meetings and contests each year. I mean, seriously....where is my customer of the year award from UPS?? Shouldn't I be getting some annual Christmas cookie box from them? Check out our most recent project this week. 467 pens, 100 umbrellas, 30 bluetooth microphones and 15 jackets. Our mail room LOVED THIS......NOT.

I mean seriously folks...it looks as if my department has been taken over by "Box World". What a nightmare. Now this was not easy navigating around in crutches with my broken ankle. Thank goodness we got that shipped out and thank goodness for my team since while I am still "on the mend" I am pretty useless when it comes to the manual stuff! Which sadistically enough...I actually love......
