GOOD MORNING!!!!!!!

Please, please, please, please post a comment on these posts every day you work. If you have not done so with any previous posts, I urge you to do so after reading this post. For some of you this may seem like beating a dead horse, but most of you still don't consistently post comments on this blog. Here are two scenarios how posting a comment will be beneficial to this office:

**These scenarios aren't specific to ANYONE in the office, just something I made up on the spot :)

Scenario 1: Joe Shmoe comes into work and looks at the blog briefly, but does not post a comment. Earlier that day, Joe's supervisor has posted tasks for him to do today on the blog. Joe doesn't do the tasks that day and his supervisor notices that a) he did not do the tasks assigned, b) there are no reasons why he didn't do the tasks, and c) he didn't read the blog. In the end, the office communication and work are both affected by this.

Scenario 2: Joe Shmoe comes into work and the first thing he does is read the blog. After reading the blog he takes 2 seconds to post a comment with his intials stating that he read it! The office is extremely busy and Joe has NO chance to get to his assigned tasks that day, BUT he makes sure to post on the blog to state that he was swamped and couldn't get them done and passes the instructions of his tasks to the next person in the office. Joe's supervisor looks on the blog and a) sees that he read the blog and b) appreciates his letting her know why his tasks aren't done. This scenario shows that simple communication can make a big difference in the office. It's not all about getting the tasks done, but communicating with the other ECOs and supervisor!!!

Moral of the Story: Please post your initials so I know you read these blogs.

Lizzette- Event Dvpt desk. Please try to complete the filing of Info sheets and anti-hazing forms. That is your main goal this morning!!! If you get done those, file the SR cards as well. If you get done all of that, please do the bulletin boards downstairs.

Elyse- Reception. Answer and respond to voicemails/emails. If it is miserably slow please help Lizzette file. When you come back at 3:30 I would like you to do reception and work on the task I asked you to do earlier! Thanks!

Danielle- From 11-3:30 please do reception. If it is slow I ask that you please work on finishing filing!!! At 1 I will need you to take your 15 minute break! I want you to work on the task that I assigned Jamie and Lizzette to do yesterday (see the previous post). Elyse worked on it this morning, please pick up where she left off!

Djade- From 12:30-2:30 please do event development. If there is no actual E.D. to do, please help Danielle with the task that I assigned her to do (see above). At 1, please cover the reception desk for 15 minutes when she takes her break.

IF YOU RUN OUT OF THINGS TO DO, this was for lawrence and since he is sick these things will still need to be done! Please tidy up the bulletin board outside our door. I want you to go through the papers and make sure there isn't anything on there that is outdated. Also, please look on both desks and take care of any loose papers that have notes on them. If you find a note, please make sure that it is taken care of (person contacted, question answered, etc) before throwing it away. The papers in the bin on the E.D. desk need to be filed away. Please work on filing them in a folder (you might need to make new ones). Thanks!
