Friday Dec 16 and Wed Dec 21 (Athena)

- Friday I sat down with Debbie to work on the website and she gave me very specific ideas of what she wanted. Worked on that (Pauline wasnt here) and managed to make some of the changes she suggested. This will be an ongoing process lol

- Talked with Marn, Debbie and John about purchasing the e-craft machine. Debbie basically said we should handle it all, its all up to us lol. We decided not to put through the order until Jan 2nd when you and Deb are back because it will get rejected if the MSU office is closed and since its expensive we obviously dont want it getting lost. There are two websites that sell the machine and I spoke to John about which is more trustworthy and we agreed on one of the websites. I will email both you and debbie with the info (you have to log into my account on the website to order the machine). I have the PO partially filled out and it is with Debbie. John said he would fill in the remaining vendor info (website ordering stuff) because we dont know if we will have the company card in yet or whether it will have to be John's card we use. Debbie wants you to fill in this info with him to make sure its what we want lol.

- Made a CAW banner for the website and powerpoint.


- Don't know if Framed got their cheque, emailed Anne to confirm. Checked with accounting and it was deposited directly in their account.

- Checked with Al and C.ball tickets will continue to be sold for 30 on Jan 3rd, then switch over to the 40 dollar tickets on Jan 4th (he will bring the different 40$ tickets early Jan 3rd). The advertising will need to be changed for this once you're back.

- We've had some issues while I was gone that people were purchasing VOLV tickets instead of IRC. See edgar's email, its pretty much been handled.

- Vertias forum people came to talk to me on Friday. I asked her what group she was from and it wasnt really clear because she just kept saying that she was only handling one of the nights. I emailed her again to confirm so that we can give her the admin fee she will be paying.

- Emailed IRC to see when we should stop ticket sales. A customer emailed us asking if they will be able to buy the irc wristbands on jan 3rd and I wasnt sure. Emailed Michael to ask whether we are just going to keep selling till sold out or if this is it. I'm assuming they will keep selling until sold out since it doesnt really make sense to stop early, but thats what it says on the contract so I thought id double check.

wednesday (krystin)

-boards for February and April done, working on March as we speak, but I don't really have specific ideas, so it might be a nice time to just advertise what tickets we're selling at that time? I dunno, I'm spent.

-Al came by to chat, and he said we can keep on selling the early bird until we get the new tickets. He is thinking it will be the 3rd or 4th. They should look different he says. He also brought candy canes advertising ticket sales that I put at the desk for customers to take.

-I then worked on condensing boxes. The bottle openers are now all out of plastic and in the box of clips. The uniforms are now in the giant box on top of the old uniforms.

-I made a commjournal post on CAW and I want to make a winner! sheet for people who win to get with the ticket when they win because Debbie asked us to make it clear clear that they expire on Feb 27, so I made winner envelopes and we can put one ticket and one info sheet in each to give to the customer. They can then have the customer sign a winner sheet to make sure staff don't just take them or whatever. I can finish that, make a staff info sheet, and decorate when I come in on the 2nd to decorate. If you get a chance and want to post on the website about CAW that would be awesome, I never got to it.

Good luck on the rest of your exams and have a great Christmas!!!

tuesday (krystin)

-IRC brought wrist bands for their frost week events. See the contract and FAQ if you have any questions. That stuff is done and they are on sale

-I redid the stamp cards from last year and saved them under PPTs and Promo on the server. I printed copies that are in the loose folder for review.

-G&T came in today, but the calculators and tape dispensers are on back order, so they will be coming in hopefully soon

-Just finished February board, now on to March and April

Monday (Krystin)

-Debbie contacted security again about the pilot project for lost and found. Once we know more, she wants us to make a posting on the cork board downstairs and two copies for the tills outlining procedure for L&F

-She also discussed with me a little bit about the website layout and taking out  alot of the words and using more pictures and links instead. She said she is talking to you about this more specifically on Friday

- Alifiya had me at the desk because nothing was working when she tried to sell anything. It turned out to be because when she changed the paper for the receipt she left the empty roll in there and put the new one on top, so it screwed up the whole system. *face palm*

-January board is finito. February is half way done (I'm doing the top part lover based and the bottom half focused on the promo. CC is giving us two round trip tickets from TO to Montreal for the promo :) 

-I am right on track to finish the boards all before I go. I'm going back to St.Catharines Thursday morning.

Friday (krystin)

-The IC manual is now updated as of today, we can now just add and take away as we need throughout the year.
-Mukhtar picked up his transfer copy, Yule ball told me to throw out their tickets, and L.I.B. wants to come get the cheque next week so we have to email her when we will be here.
-Debbie had me put together a welcome package for Erin when she comes to be trained.
-We are working on eliminating the number of boxes we have in the office, so we have to move old and new uniform stuff into one big box and will start to work on that from here on out.
-Debbie suggetsed a tshirt cross-promo with UM or 1280 where we both give out old tshirts, and if either place sees someone wearing a Compass or UM shirt they get some kind of discount? I dunno, somehting to think about

thursday(krystin)

-did the VOLV stuff today to get them out
-Caught Al in the office and dumped off all of his copies of internal transfers and his old tickets.
-Debbie needed copies of all kinds of finished cheque recs that she didn't get copies of so I did that
-I emailed Parrish, Life is Beautiful, and MIX again about cheque pick up. Parrish got his. and Muhktar about his copy of the murder mystery transfer. Also emailed Yule Ball cause we still have their tickets.
-Debbie asked me to email Al telling him we have VOLV now and to hurry and get in any frost week stuff he has coming soon
-and then the IC manual for a tiny bit

Wednesday (krystin)

-We got 20 yuk yuk passes for CAW! I made photocopies for 20 winning tickets and a bunch of losing. We can discuss whether we want to put all 20 in at the beginning and risk them being claimed all at once or we can put in 5 each day and risk having leftovers. I think the former would be better, who cares if they go all at once, people don't have to know they're all gone when they pick a loser haha. I coloured the winners to make them pop and cut them out, working on cutting out the losers. There is an extra copy of each in the loose folder in case we need to make more copies of either. I made way too many copies of losing ones though. I looked at how many transactions were made in the first week of September, since it will be similar, and there were 2200 something, but I made over 6000 losing ballots lol, so I only cut half of them, not even.
-We got another email from Financial Aid asking to post a slide, but it is pure advertising for them, so Debbie said no. We need to evaluate our regulations for advertising on our slideshow in January.
-I redid the internal and external voicemail greetings for both our mailbox and the desk mailbox. Ours is good for the rest of the year, but the desk one has holiday hours of operation, so we have to redo it when we come back after the break.
-Sebastian brought in the frost week wristbands and took the old wristbands and the halloween tickets.
