Different Day!

susandennisI feel like the past 3 weeks have been non-stop at work. I come in and get going on the first thing and the rest just follow one after the other and often one before the other was done.
Today is a totally different horse. I got in and took care of the top items and then did some desk clean up and organizing and have done some other things throughout the day but I've had time in between. Time to breathe. Time to consider what would be best to do next. Time to get ready for two meetings that I have tomorrow.
It's been pretty luxurious.
My IT friend told me this morning that there was a chance that the new guy (my boss's boss) would be starting today. That's what kicked off the clean up.
I work in a cube that has three desks in it. And, as luck would have it, I have all three desks at my command. Two of them are used to house the marketing collateral (white papers, brochures, flyers, etc.) library. Part of my job is to write the stuff and print it and make it available. I now have about 120 different pieces to keep up with and I have a nice little library of bins to house them all in an orderly fashion.
Another part of my job is keeping up with the giveaways - swag - tschotskies... So I have a small stash of boxes and packing materials for when I have to send out 3 dozen tins of mints or 4 dozen bouncy balls or pens to various marketing reps for customers. And then there are the trade shows... we need signs so I make signs... we need stuff so I gather stuff and then I ship it off to the show.
And then there are the websites - basically external, intranet and extranet. I have a nice little library of really fat books to help me through the morass of database stuff, web publishing stuff, spreadsheet, Flash and VB that I need every day. I know very little about most of it but am on call to fix, tweak, and sometimes create all of it. I need these nice fat books.
The rest of the desk real estate houses the usual phone, monitor, keyboard, jar of corn candy, paperclips, stack of post-its, handheld Yahtzee game and computer speakers. And as of right now it is a very very tidy area. The message I'm hoping it screams is "This bitch is so organized and capable and talented that I am really really lucky that I have her on my team... I must remember to treat her well..." Or a variation on that theme.
