Snow Day, Schmoday

Hi, my name is Dani, and I'm in love with work-given snow days.

However, unlike last snow day (which you can read about here), today I figured I would have a snow day, and on recommendation of C (and basic common sense) I brought some of my work home.

What a terrible idea that was. Because now instead of doing fun stuff, I'm stuck on my couch listening to a 2 hour meeting I already attended adn typing up notes. Like, transcript style. Ugh. But I kind of got myself into this mess. Let me explain.

So, I was apporached a few months ago to be the "organizer" for these "task force" meetings at work. That basically means I schedule the meetings, get teh catering and room reseravations, schedule the SUB committee meetings for each group (yeah, I didn't realize that was included int his job description...and there are 5 sub committees that each like to meet once a week, with at least 4 high profile [aka busy as all hell] people...oy vey!), take notes, and send out minutes after each meeting. I was sooo excited to take on a new role at work, because I was in a bit of a funk because my job was too easy for me, and I was getting frustrated/lazy with my normal tasks (and I was worried about my job security, because it was obvious the office was now running like a well oiled machine...how long would it take before they realized this and I got fired for doing "such a good job"--eek!). So yay!

No yay. This sucks. Do you know how long it takes me to transcript these notes? And how oh-so-flippin-BORING it is? Not to mention the fact that I don't know half the ish these people are talking about because I'm not in Finance, though I work in the Finance department at a school. I do admin. I was a PSCYHOLOGY major. Wtf is P&L and F&A and lines of credit based on property depreiation and ...aaaahhh!
