Tues - Sehar

Hello,

-I put the greyhound bucks downstairs, and advertised for them
- started rec for wine and cheese, but still waiting on account number
- did advertising for when we are hiring
- customer appreciation advertising.
- i put more swag out
- talked to customers
- started on the board for FEB

Tues- Laura

- Its been a pretty big mess today, our sign is missing and the desk needed a lot of help with restocking tickets and more presto and float sheets etc.
- I improvised with our sign, you need to take it down at 2pm when you get here
- I have answered the e-mails and such so if you want to put up a table and maybe steel whoever is working green and maybe give out some swag that would be good
- Let me know if there is anything tomorrow you need me to do in particular because you were running the event
- I pulled the wine and cheese tickets and they are in the cupboard, we can do rec when we get a chance because debbie isn't in to approve it anyways, there are 9 of the 18 and under tickets left so we should balance perfectly
- Please put up your photos from yesterday on the facebook page and keep updating it about things throughout the week
- I talked to Jan from Greyhound so I got that sorted out plus we are getting some aboutown free rides so we can hopefully use them this week but if not we can make some transit raffles in the weeks to come
- I don't know how we are planning to give away our bulldogs prize today since there is no activity but can always raffle extra things off from the candy jar one or something

Fri - Laura

Chaos ensued with presto and debit/credit machines so I spend a lot of time doing that

- on monday can you finalize what Al is planning on doing on Tuesday so I know right when I get in. Also, can you leave me a list of what you set up table wise and leave it all in the back room so I can get it easily?
- I have class during your shifts on monday and wednesday but if you want/can you can switch your hours to closer to mine on tuesday or thursday and we can both run those days (:
- those scavenger hunt clues are out
- the wine and cheese need to go off-sale at end of day today but they haven't answered any of my e-mails so I don't know what they want done with the extra tickets
- I cut a shit ton of ballots and they are in the middle drawer but I would make staff cut them during their shift to make sure we have enough
- have a good customer appreciation day on monday! Let me know how it goes!

Thursday, January 24, 2013

Thur - Sehar

- asked Al about donating prizes he said he will have something for us on Monday hopefully
- so the photobooth with Campus events is moved to Tuesday since they have another promo on wednesday.
- Finished up all rec for the dinner and show and gave the contract and tickets to Al
- Did PO's for cineplex tickets and dollarama/bulkbarn stuff we need to get, got the money for it, not sure if you want to go together to get the stuff or I can just get it.
-Pangaea tickets are now on sale, everything is done for them, they just have to be added to EOD
-I actually just forgot everything that I've done today.. Ill just see you at the staff meeting..

Wed/Thurs - Laura

So customer appreciation week kind of ate up my entire shift haha but here is what I have done thus far

- I updated the website as per Debbie's request to reflect the new job postings for management positions and I made a slide for it if you can put that down at the desk
- Kellin is donating 4 sets of 2 vouchers for bulldogs game
- Check the e-mail from Jan regarding greyhound prizes
- Do a PO for the cineplex tickets we need
- Left a message with Al about donating charity ball tickets or possibly any upcoming dinner and a show (we can see what he says about that but you might want to call him back and check)
- Sent an e-mail to aboutown regarding promotional items for customer appreciation week so waiting to see if they will get back to us (call them maybe)
- Added a schedule of events to the customer appreciation document and I think its about perfect. If you have time to finalize it can you publish the webpage and make a whiteboard chart downstairs with that so customers can stay updated on whats going on
- Monday you are in early and I'm not in at all so are you able to come in later to run the game?
- Did you want to try and go get some of the candies and stuff we need to buy before the staff meeting at like 4:30 or something?
- Make sure you ask Al about the wheel!
- We have to get the flyers ready for clubs fest so we can hand them out to the clubs that day and leave some with Kevin for the clubs office
- Since I'm the only one in tomorrow can you leave me a clear list of what needs to be done for you for monday

Send me a text if you have any questions (:

Tues/Wed - Sehar

MUAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!! - Evil laughter for no apparent reason.

- So excited for staff meeting yo! - I have no idea what I will be bringing...
- Made the customer appreciation daily things to do.. just open up word and recent documents.
- I contacted people for it, and some of the responses are on it.
- We also need to give Debbie a rough estimate on the budget so she can sign the P.O's for it. We have A LOT of room in the budget for it. I really want to make customer appreciation day really good since we don't really have days like this anymore so might as well do it with a bang!
- Also I went to dinner and a show last night, it was actually pretty funny. I had a good time :)
- did rec for dinner and a show, waiting for Al to give me account number, the rec is with debbie and the contract is in the middle drawer.
- we also have to have our manuals done by Feb 28th - read debbie's email
- I tried to do stuff on the website but it was so slow and kept freezing so i gave up :(

I talked to Debbie about customer appreciation week and here is what she said:
- Call Kellin (bulldogs) and see if they want to do a promotion, they send me the form but it said that bruiser was $100 ask him if we have to pay for it. Ask him if he would like to giveaway free tickets.
- contact Cathy from go, greyhound, coach and aboutown - Call them so it is faster
- I already called Cathy, and sent her an e-mail, but if you can call greyhound, coach and aboutown on your shift that would be great since the customer appreciation week is next week. 
- we got 1 yuk yuks ticket to giveaway (its in the safe)
- ask Al if he wants to give away a charity ball ticket (i was going to do this personally but he was out to lunch)
- call pauline and see if she has something
- make a board with the winners on it for each day and what they won
- games should be during our office hours so we are not having extra staff.

Tuesday - Laura

Hello Hello (:

So can I first start off my saying I think I have frost bite on my entire body after my walk to school this morning, god its cold!

- Updated the hours of operation for reading week on the website, powerpoint, and I put signs up around the desk
- Someone called from the centre for continuing education about posters (I'm hoping you know something about this because I don't) so if you could call back and let them know where they are being displayed and any questions they have their extension is 28037
- Volv picked up their cheque and remaining wristbands
- Fixed the powerpoint because there was something weird going on with the font for the HECFI (it was coming out in shapes like it did last time so that was strange)
- If we have finalized that customer appreciation week is next week the slide can be unhidden (just check with Debbie about the Yuk-Yuk tickets because she was at lunch while I was in today)
- It isn't too busy today so if you have time can you type up like a tentative customer appreciation week outline and we can then go over it with Debbie and schedule any extra hours accordingly (I was thinking something pretty similar to last year - do you think Al would give us charity ball tickets to raffle?)
- Put all the dinner and a show tickets out (I think I'm in first tomorrow so I will do the rec for those
- I ripped all those bulldogs tickets we just got because Debbie said she wants us to rip them not the staff

I think that is all!

Monday, January 21, 2013

Sehar - Monday

Hello Hello!

Fri - Laura

Another week, FINITO ... #thankthelord (yes a hashtag was appropriate)

- There wasn't too much to do so I tried to get a lot of random stuff done like restock tickets, organize binders etc.
- I pulled the staff cineplex tickets and put them out for sale (marked it on the float sheet). Debbie went home already so we can put some of the new tickets aside next week before the staff meeting
- I had some extra time so I went through the website and the powerpoint and fixed up a few things and added some stuff so they are looking pretty good (just saying haha)
- Also, promoted a few tickets on facebook and such to try and get some ticket purchasing happening
- There were a lot of angry people that I had to talk to, not sure why everyone is in such a bad mood on fridays haha
- I resent the e-mail to Kara and so far it hasn't bounced back but I also left her a message at her residence extension so hopefully she got one of those and will get back to us soon 
- Customer appreciation asap is best for me, the first week of February is packed so if we could do it the week before that would be good, if we need time to plan it maybe a day this week coming up? (I made a mock up slide as well but it is hidden so let me know what you think of that)

Friday Friday - Sehar

TGIF!!!

- sent e-mailed for cheques to be picked up (volv and IRC)
- i just got the notification that the IRC email bounced back so you might want to give them a call.
- sent an angry e-mail to volv
-micheal's gf might pick up the cheque today - read over the emails
- house keeping stuff
- when do you want to have the customer appreciation day?
- we need a day to meet so we can plan our customer appreciation day (also what is the week that you want it to be? probably a week that is less hectic for both of us)
- waiting on raptors, sent them another e-mail today.
- need to change our advertising for cineplex for new dates - the new tickets are in but they are not put out yet. Debbie wants to take the staff tickets and put them to sale at the front and mark on the staff sheet of the change.
- the conference flyers are out already down at the desk
-

sehar - thursday

-emailed the new bulldogs person asking him when he is available( meeting with him on monday, he is going to bring the tickets and hockey stick than)
- send the gmast email to the correct address since it bounced back (i also edited it and got it approved from debbie)
- i also put that post on macinsiders website, and printed it out so we can use it for our IC manual
- I took down some of the decoration, and left some on so it doesn't seem so empty on the board
- i called the boat show guy, he didn't pick up so i left him a msg.
- we should get the cineplex tickets in by tomorrow
-I have the darien lake form, going to give it to debbie to look at
- Called raptors, he send us the link and stuff but he still isn't done setting it up. He said it should be done by tomorrow morning. I went to underground and printed colour posters and put them out
- random stuff.

Thursday - Laura

Good Morning Vietnammmmm (I may or may not have watched that movie last night)

- Talked to the new bulldogs person and he wants to meet with us in person next week so we have to find a time that we can accomplish that then email him ASAP. Although Debbie is fine with it being just one of us so we can figure out who we would rather be (I guess whoever had more contact with Trevor regarding promotion). If you want to do it just e-mail him during your shift and work out a time between you two.
- We need to plan customer appreciation really really soon! I don't know if we wanted to split responsibility for that or if one of us wanted to take the lead on it while the other one keeps working on regular work (I don't care either way but we need to get going on that soon!)
- I got 3 new HECFI tickets so I got those all sorted out and all out on sale which took next to forever! I've contacted accounting regarding recieving the cheques for those shows (they need to be rush cheques again) but I'm still waiting to hear back from them
- I updated the website and powerpoint for the staff meeting closure the powerpoint just needs to be brought downstairs
- I went to go take the christmas decorations down from the board but I couldn't find the key to open the case (wasn't any of the keys in the rolling cabinet like it usually is) but if you could do that today that would be great because it really is starting to look out of date
- I sent out a g-admast e-mail about all of our winter passes and the various concerts and we can probably use a similar e-mail format to send e-mails out in the future

**I can't come in at 2:30 because my meeting got changed but send me a facebook message about scheduling or just text me when you are in and we can work that out.

Have a good shift =)

- Put out flyers for summer accommodations at mac.

Tuesday, January 15, 2013

Tues - Laura

- I put out our last 30 cineplex so hopefully we can get those ordered ASAP!
- Got the tickets for the wine and cheese so they are completely out on sale (except for powerpoint if you get a chance to do that)
- I did the rec for VOLV so that is completely finished with
- Paula is coming in tomorrow at some point to drop off some more tickets
- I talked to Debbie about Fridays and I'm not able to work 4 hours a lot of the weeks so we can take in on a week  by week basis and I can try and see if its less busy I can work 3 some weeks. She can probably tell you more when you get in but basically we can work out what we can but I can't promise every week since I have a lot of friday midterms and I proctor friday midterms for the course I TA for.

Monday, January 14, 2013

Monday - Sehar

Ugh Monday!

- Did Rec for Mac Miller - Just waiting on the account # from Al, he isn't in his office today. (Debbie has the Rec)
- Did rec for IRC it is all done
- I put CMMSS?(Murder Mystery)... Tickets on the RMS, they still haven't got it printed, Julie said she can have them by tomorrow. So all she has to do is send us a poster, and drop off the tickets with the signed contract.
- stocked tickets
- waiting on Maggie for the Cineplex tickets still. -- I just realized that I didn't save my Friday's post so you have no idea what I am talking about here. I did all the ordering stuff for cineplex but right when I was ordering the MSU credit card is maxed out and we have to wait for 2 weeks. Just check on the cineplex tickets, we have been selling a lot of it.
- I also did a lot of stuff with Raptors on Friday with Debbie, E-mailed Micheal with the price point increase.. just waiting on his reply.
- And so sorry! I didn't get to the board.. Im kinda just thinking to leave most of the stuff there and take out the christmas theme decor from it, since we will be changing it soon for valentines day anyways.

Friday - Laura

Woo Weekend (sort of because I'm headed to the library)

- I did the rec for volv and that took far too long (too many colours and the slip and their were weird things happening ugh)! But now Debbie has it so she will probably return it on your shift
- talked to Debbie about the scheduling and I'm sure she will be able to tell you more but I will be able to work some Fridays for the entire time but there will be some Fridays I can't so I'm not sure how that will work out but hopefully we can figure something out (:
- There wasn't too much otherwise but I got a bunch of new tickets and GO sheets and other stuff for the CSR's so I ended up spending a lot of time down there
- There is an email from Michael Spence so I left that for you
- I updated a few things on the website and put the powerpoint downstairs so that's ready to go
- The only thing left would be to finish the board (:

HAVE A GOOD WEEKEND!

Thur - Sehar

Woop Woop!

- So i spent most of my shift ordering cineplex and doing paper work for it just to find out that the credit card is maxed out and we have to wait to order
- also called raptors and everything is good to go, he is suppose to send me an e-mail regarding the price points
- i did half of the board.. it kinda looks shitty so i might change the black background on my next shift
- I also looked into a greyhound ticket that someone wanted to refund.
- something else happened that im forgetting... lol if i remember ill let you know :)
- and yes I would like to change shifts on friday.. Im going to try to talk to debbie about not working friday at all and working 4 hours on monday instead.  im trying to look for another part-time job.

Wednesday, January 9, 2013

Thursday - Laura

Bonjour!

- I went through the cupboard and mailed any remaining cheques that haven't been picked up with the exception of the humanities formal cheque. I called the office to try and get someone to pick it up but no one answered so I emailed the co-ordinator. If you could try calling them again because we need that cheque picked up sooner rather than later
- The ripped up charity ball ticket that was brought in I got sorted out. I talked to Al and they can go exchange their ticket. The girl actually came in during my shift so she hopefully got her new ticket by now.
-  I updated the powerpoint with new events but if you could put that downstairs that would be great
- The Hardwell guy got back to me and the cheque is being made out to Limelight now so I did everything for that and the tickets are now out on sale
- The float sheet has been updated with all the new tickets and GO transit has been taken off
-  Paula Perri is going to come in next week to give us some new tickets, Debbie wanted to maybe put out some sort of teaser about the tickets so if you have time to do that
- I did the McMaster storm closure policy for the board but if you could finish that up that would be great
- Volv gets pulled tomorrow so I can do the rec for those when I'm in in the morning
- Did you want to switch our Friday shifts every other week like we did last semester?

Have a good shift!

Sehar - Jan 9 - Wed

Hello Beautiful :)

- I put charity ball reg. on EOD
- I ran errands and gave Al 100 of Mac Miller tickets for him to stamp and turn them into "Guest Tickets'
- It is 1:29pm and he just got me the guest tickets, I put them on the RMS and will be putting them out, can you please just put them on the  EOD and advertise for them. 
- Accepted new contract for limelight.. we can't put the tickets on sale yet since the cheque is said to be payable to a single person instead of a company, so I'm just waiting on his response.
- I did rec. for charity ball pre-sale tickets, and gave the left over tickets (95) to Al already
- Changed power point - I added the limelight ticket in there, but the tickets aren't for sale yet.. so i didn't change the powerpoint downstairs

Tuesday, January 8, 2013

Sehar - Tuesday

Hello

- I finished counting the charity ball tickets, put it on the rms, just needs to be added to the EOD sheet.

Happy 2013!! (and last semester of school haha)

- So it took me a lot of my shift today but I finally got the Amazing Race sorted out. I updated the contract as well as the comm journal post so let me know if you have any questions but I'm hoping that clears a bunch of it up.
- We got a new round of dinner and a show tickets (comedy night with Darrin Rose) so I got those completely ready for sale so everything including facebook is done for those.
- With not a lot of Edgar for the week I had to refill a lot of tickets and change so just makes sure you are doing that everyday
- I updated the website and took away all of the exam hours and made sure it was all otherwise up to date

Monday, January 7, 2013

Jan 7th - Sehar

Hello Hello! Happy New Year :)

So I have no idea what I did before the new year. But today I was really busy. Changed some of signs downstairs.

- I tired to use the cutter and do stuff for the Jan board, but that was a total failure
- IRC wristbands were lost so I had to find them. They might be running low when you read this so Im not sure if you want to contact the organizer and ask for more
- the Volv $30 reg. wristbands are out
- We got the charity ball $40 tickets in, they are still being counted by me. (all 1000  of them -.-") they are in the locked cupboard if you need to check them out or something. These are to be sold started WEDNESDAY
- The $30 early bird charity ball tickets need to be pulled Tuesday night or first thing Wednesday morning and reconcile.
- First year council had something going on called the 'amazing race' but they didn't inform anyone and left pamphlets to hand out on our desk - I tried contacting them but not sure what is going on on their end so I talked to David about it and gave the pamphlets to David, he said he'll try to take care of it.
- I did an exchange for a girl name amanda. she wanted 2 volv wristbands instead of the IRC ones she bought before the break. - so the Volv early bird ($20) might need to be recounted. they are in the drawer of the locked cupboard.
- Also if you wanted to order more Bulldogs and cineplex tickets, we are running low on it.
- I also forgot to talk to debbie about the raptors.

That is all I can think about right now.. Have a good shift :)
