I HATE THIS UPDATTTEEEEE

-Really though... this blogger is annoying, wtf.

-I went to check accounting again and asked for the CASS cheque. He looked and said no but I made him look in the MSU clubs folder because we submitted it two weeks ago. Alas, he found it, and I emailed CASS to have them come get it.

-Raven confirmed the account code, good pestering skills. Gave it to Marn to complete. Raven will be coming by to get their copy of the contract and transfer and tickets on Monday

-I made hours for next week because I realized I hadn't yet and I needed to give something to all of the people I emailed to pick up their cheques. I emailed them to SS/Debbie/you and CCd the IC account so you can see it.
EDIT: and then I talked to you and laughed at myself... made the rest of the exam period hours for myself

-Laura from SCSN emailed us a snippy email about ticket update cause I guess she emailed last night and got impatient that we didn't answer right away. Anywho, I gave her an update.

-I think I forgot yesterday to tell you I added to the website that Greyhound prices jumped this week. Also FB, twit.

-put up the April board
Thursday/Friday (Athena)

- I hate this newly updated blogger thing, it automatically updated when I logged in today!

- Emailed Raven again about the internal transfer, I might try calling

- Checked for CASS cheque AGAIN, still not ready

- Had claire come and pick up the right to play stuff yesterday, she said she is looking forward to working with compass in the future :) Also introduced her to Sehar.

- After you left I just discussed with Laura and Sehar some other things we can go over when we shadow them. I reminded them that although they have their preferred tasks already (Laura wants to do contracts, Sehar wants to do promos and displays and stuff) they need to make sure they BOTH do all of the tasks in case the other person isnt here, and to just make sure they stay on the same page with stuff. I also reminded Sehar that she needs to keep in mind that Laura is at a disadvantage in not knowing the inner workings of Compass but they are still equal in decision making and Sehar cannot make decisions about the logo without input from all of the other managers.

- I LOL'd at Owais' note on my award lmao....and all the notes about my hair.....guess nobody knows me! :( ..........at least they think I have nice hair lmao

- Working on the summer manual right now.

- Contacted Karen re ordering more pamphlets for CityPass to prepare for summer

- put up the roller derby poster from Shawna yesterday

- went on a mission with edgar to put the lasagna in the oven...which didnt fit in the oven, so we had to go to 1280 and ask them...awkkksssss

- on weds I finalized the spring powerpoint and the special easter version of the spring powerpoint. Easter one down at the desk now, after the easter weekend we can just switch it to the spring one.

- on weds i also worked on the easter giveaway things we are doing. We need to see when we want to start giving them out and we can have laura and sehar do a shift of giving them out too. Basically we have easter baskets with plastic eggs and inside of each is that double-sided flyer on summer stuff and a chocolate egg. Debbie wants us to really hit areas NOT in the student centre and to get faculty and staff, so she suggested walking around the different buildings and going into offices lol

- updated fb and twitter with the hours change occurring on monday

Tuesday (krystin)

-Debbie didn't have a copy of the SCSN contract, made her one

-Shawna from the Derby Girls emailed us and wants to work with us again this summer. I sent her the contract and asked her when she wants to meet or what she wants to do.

- I emailed Laura to double check that we invited her to the staff meeting on Thurs. She says yes to both.

-Debbie emailed us about training and hours for April, so I made a list and sent what we have done with Laura and Sehar and what is left for us to do this year. We have our group meeting with them Thursday, so we can decide then if more time would be beneficial, Debbie suggested maybe sitting down with them to do their part of the yearplan and to emphasize planning ahead (promos, etc.). There are Willy Dog vouchers for them both in the top drawer to give them.

-We need to make a list of what we have to wrap up for the year. I started to brainstorm, but any help would be great. This is what I gave to Debbie so far:

·              *organize files on computer/server, creating folders and transition folders for incoming management
·              *Get the ball rolling for summer consignment tickets
·              *Banners – in the midst of talking prices & design with Dave from the Underground (discussing with     
                    incoming ICs)
·              *Emailing ticket organizers (ie roller girls) to get summer tickets initiated
·              *Summer HSR bus pass?

-Debbie needed a full copy of EVERYTHING in our IC manual (flyers, templates, everything) as a back up in case something bad happens to the original. It took forever to photocopy, hole punch, and organize it (Like 1.5 hours forever). She is impressed with it though. She suggested putting your summer one in the back under another tab, so once you are done with that if you can make two copies, one for our copy, one for Debbie's.

-The front desk gave us our own copy of the 2012 Grand & Toy catalogue, in the plastic shelving


-Ryan came by to pick up the cheque and tickets


-I updated the March board downstairs to take down old ticket sales and put up two of the summer ticket flyers to fill space. Later this week I will put up the April board, but it is April showers so not yet applicable lol


-The CASS girl came to pick up her cheque, but we never emailed Ernest or anything, she did not know they had to wait for us to get the cheque. She took and signed for the tickets, and we added her email address under Ernest's on the ticket contract to email them both when the cheque is ready. I let her know that it will likely be Friday.

Monday (krystin)

-pulled QSCC. Started a cheque rec then realized they are probably internal, so I spent half hour looking through their binders from last year to see what they did because Debbie was busy, and I realized how much better I like our system of contracts lol. Anywho, I was right and it is internal, I sent an email to Raven to confirm the account # they used last year. I started the internal transfer and it is with the contract to be changed or submitted as necessary when we get a response.

-took old stuff off of the website, ppt, eod, float

-picked up HECFI cheque. I emailed him to come in tomorrow while I am in.

-Michael Wooder brought us tshirts for the 601 for staff to wear until the event Wednesday afternoon. I left a commJ post and put them in the back office for them to wear at the desk.

-Dave emailed us back with some prices and details to review.

Thurs (kryst)

-emailed Raven, their event is tomorrow, so I was laughing at your trying to let them sell on Saturday. I let them know that you are out of here at 4:30 so if we are pulling tickets for them it must be before 4:15 that they need to come in.

-Pulled CASS tickets and did the rec for it.

-Debbie wants our next training to be a group one, not separate, and we need to discuss:
          -Mac at Mac: booth, balloons, speaking with Candy (huikw@mcmaster.ca) about tours and Compass 
           info being used etc., and setting up a meeting (see email)
          -PTM training April 5, only ICs this year, presentation, preparing handout, etc.

-Debbie sent the hours of operation for exams/easter, summer, may at Mac, and closures through the summer, so I printed a copy and we should make hidden slides to accommodate for them when we need them

Tuesday (krystin)

Let's try this again!

-Pauline told me the old email is now officially kaput... she looked worried I would be mad, but I reassured her it wasnt the worst thing ever and that we were almost all done the new one anyways.

-Called the food and drink festival guy. He was at MUSC doing a radio interview and they suggested bringing us flyers because mac catering would be there. He left his information with me, and Laura came as I was about to do the display of information contract.

Laura and I...
-filled out the display of information contract and discussed the issues of people dropping stuff off at the desk.
-finished the cheque rec for HECFI that you started and gave to Debbie. You forgot to tax the commission, so I showed Laura that and we submitted it.
-pulled the rest of the right to play stuff. She then went through the entire process of pulling tickets and filling out the contract to getting debbie to check it to writing the cheque rec and submitting it to accounting (Y). I emailed Claire about picking up the extra waivers, registration sheets, and filled contract. One team did not sign the sheet, so I let her know that too but assured her that ten teams did register according to official rec numbers.
-finished the fake contract that we started with them. Laura asked me to go over some of the RMS and server stuff too since Sehar did a lot of that hands on stuff last time. She seems to catch on quick.
-She had to scoot off to class so we didn't get a chance to plan another day, so I figure we can wait and see how Sehar's goes tomorrow and go from there to see what has to be done.

-I advertised the new website on FB and Tw since it is now official

-Debbie came in and then we realized that Edgar looks like the American Idol guy, so we were killing ourselves laughing with Pauline and Marn as we made fun pictures lol

Monday (krystin)

-Sandra came by for the Invisible Children cheque in between our shifts today and asked the desk staff if we can just leave the cheque and stuff there for her to get whenever, but I emailed both of them to let them know that we prefer not to do that for accountability sake and gave Sandra our hours for this week. We're in quite a bit so hopefully something there works for her.

-The Food & Drink festival vouchers I talked to Debbie about. She wants me to track down whoever is reponsible and get them to fill out a contract to put them at the desk. I'm a lookin'... I emailed the student liaison Jamie about it and checked the website for contact information. I emailed the info email address on the website for any help they can provide.

-I updated the powerpoint and brought it to the desk

-I updated the flyers with Debbie's requests and saved it under the same name on the server. I printed a bunch on our bright paper, but I wasn't sure if you had other plans for it. They are now at the desk.


-I advertised that today is the last day of registration for the soccer tourny on FB and Twitter. We stop selling at close today. Right after I did that we sold the rest of the team packages we had (go figure) so I called Claire and she decided to just cap the team registration at 10 because she can't get packaged here on time and keep selling individual until close. I had Cody cross off the remaining spots on the sign up sheet, brought the sign up sheet up here and put in with contract, and took it off the RMS so people have no option to sell it at all. She sounded excited that we've sold that many.
ISSUE: There were only 9 spots filled out, but 10 sold, so someone did not have the team register (FML). I looked at movement reports and since one spot was not initialed, and one is missing, I deduced that it was either Crystaleve or Erin who did not have the team sign it... I don't quite know what repercussions this might have, but I'm hoping it is not a HUGE deal. I put the form and the printed movement sheet together with the contract

-CASS sent a gal to pick up 50 tickets for the fashion show because they're not selling well and I guess they're looking to potentially downsize or do giveaways or something. Ticket pick up contract signed, and marked on our contract.
Monday (Athena)

- I noticed at the desk that the red door tickets were not in the same folder flap as the sheet where they fill out any allergies or veg requests, so I just moved those over. We just have to make sure in the future the tickets are with the sign up sheet because Danielle was really confused. Also,  in our comm journal posts and on the float sheet and everything we've been calling it red door or SCSN but it was programmed into the RMS as earth hour, so I changed it to include red door too so the CSR's know what they're looking for

-  I checked your comm post cuz I remember you saying something about the Weeknd afterparty cheque not going to HECFI, but I couldnt find anything besides your initial post. Contacted Ryan and he said the cheque to him would be easier, but we could do HECFI too. We are doing HECFI as per Deb's request.

- submitted hecfi cheque to deb for review

- Counted the tickets for HECFI and took down the advertising (including the March bulletin board post about The Weeknd)

- Talked to Debbie about grabbing stuff from Dollarama - I'll go tonight, it was way too busy to go on Friday like I planned.

- Also, with SCSN I went to go double check the contract (and attach a copy of the veg/allergies sheet to the contract) and I noticed there are no ticket counts filled in or signed for. I read your comm post and you said edgar took the tickets and you double checked them...just make sure you write and sign for them on the contract cuz i looked like a retard when debbie asked me how many tickets we received and I didnt know lol

- old website still down, pooop. Redirected the new one in the meantime.

- debbie asked me to make new flyers for the summer stuff but to include everything we did last summer, so I made new ones. Also talked to her about the easter basket stuff, so Ill go tonight.

Friday (Athena)

Friday (Athena)

- took care of the ordering for the broshure things. Put it through the office supplies budget, so we still have $1064 in advertising and approx $624 in office supplies (that's with the current order). waiting to get the tracking info, it will arrive to marn

- took out the ecraft and tried to print on vinyl since the web says thats how you make window decals. I still need to try to find static cling paper, cuz the vinyl we have are like actual stickers...its like a sticky whiteboard? Anyways I made a design with the facebook logo and "compass information centre" so ppl can search us, and I will attach these to the window at the desk...we'll see how it looks

- updated the new website with citypass

- changed ink cartridge at the desk

- our grand and toy stuff came in, woooo

friday (krystin)

-Put the closure on website, powerpoint (also added regular hours of operation cause we lost them in transition from november to december haha), put notices at each till, on the whiteboard, and set the temporary greeting to expire at midnight after the meeting.

-I really didn't do much else... updated ppt at the desk, that's about it... where did these two hours go?

Off to drain blood from my body for donation before loading it with booze tomorrow. Have a good St.Pattys day!
