Impact Communications the third

Today I walked into Impact excited to get into some work and make some event magic happen.

So walking into the back gate I felt comfortable, like I had been there for at the very least months not days. It was the first time that that Oscar, the resident dog, didn't bark at me at all, in fact he greeted me with affection. It was relaxing being able to sit at my desk and have casual "how was your weekend" water cooler conversation with Tobias who sits at the desk next to me. Meesha had a breakfast to go to so she wasn't in when I got in. It gave me good opportunity to respond to a couple of emails that I didn't get a chance to respond to earlier, as well as get a bit of a catch up on what I had done last week including following up on how successful the launch was.

When Meesha got back I enjoyed a change of scenery. I bunked in her office with her for the day, which I found more productive. Unfortunately the event managemen1t game wasn't as magical today as it can be. Applications for abstracts for the Road Safety Conference have been closed and accessed so part of my task list for the day was data entry of all the reviews of the abstracts, which is great when you can't read a persons hand writing. It wasn't a terribly strenuous activity but I'm aware that it's something that needs to be done and reading the abstract reviews was quite enlightening.

However, there is only so much data entry that one can do before risking losing all of ones hair so I broke it up with a couple of other things that would help Meesha and the other Impact crew out. She had asked me to do a little research into possible Industry Associations that would benefit their company, so I did and I put it together in a spread sheet so that I can fill more in later and so that it will be easy for her to have a look through to see what has  the best options for them. In between this I continued looking at options for entertainment for the National Road Safety Conference dinner and then before I knew it it was time to leave, with only one stop over to make.

So Impact Communications is the venue booking agent for the Mt. Eliza house in Kings Park. At present Frasers is holding the house somewhat hostage for their functions but it is still available for Impact to book out. So Meesha took me out to the house to check it out while she showed it off to a girl planning to have her wedding there. I though it was useful for me to see the house, particularly since I had no clue that this place existed.

After today I look forward to going back in next week and seeing what else I can do at this company.
