Into the Deep End

Jul 21, 2009 21:31

This was my first year as a department head at Otakon, so The Gryphon and I arrived early. That way I could be prepared to handle anything that came up. We arrived Wednesday evening, after I'd spent a day of organizing things at home.

( My first day as a department head, Thursday at Otakon. )

*hug* I was glad to see you Thurs-night. Regan and I only made it to the meeting in time for the photo, as you saw. -_-;;; Took FOREVER to get our staff pics.

We did...well, I think, in the LARP this year. (Namely...I kept my voice. I've been MUTE 3 years in a row, by Saturday-night.) I did my best to try and keep Joe/Jon sane, and not sure I succeeded, but they did seem sane...if silly, by the end.

Moral:
If you're the boss, be the boss; let your staff do the work.

Something that's hard to learn. I suspect I'll have to learn it quickly, too. *sweatdrops*

My other piece of advice on being the boss: plan things out ahead of time! It gets too crazy when you're in the fray. It's better to have a plan.

I can barely speak right now, myself!

I actually CAN speak. I also ATE and SLEPT! I also attended a PANEL! (Did you KNOW there was a CONVENTION going on? *incredulous* ^_~)

But yes, bunch of people going back to school soon at work. And I am (thankfully) NOT a boss, as in--not a manager or a shift-lead. HOWEVER, I may end up being their back-line coordinator at times, and I'll be a more experienced employee than some...so I'm sure I'll have to learn boss-type skills quickly.

I did eat and sleep (well, every night except Thursday), and I saw most of the MELL concert.

As far as being a boss is concerned, watch and learn, grasshopper!

That's hilarious! I'm glad to hear that you guys were having a little fun while I was out. I was usually all business when I was there!

He shot my spouse across the roof at the Dead Dog.

He got me by accident at Dead Dog when he was trying to get our Radio Guru. Those suckers hurt!
