Late Last Week

I didn’t get to update late last week, but I got quite a lot done.
I worked on some culture wall layouts and have some pretty solid items now.  They’re still in development, but I’m pleased.
I also spent a good amount of time working on RE:CONNECT.  There have been some last-minute changes (as always), but I’m [...]

Paper and Mock Ups = Excitement

It’s easy to spot a design geek.  Go to any paper store and look for the people asking about finishes, weights, colors, and sizes of unique papers.  Well, at least that’s me.
I went to Paper Plus this morning to look through some papers for some additional ideas for WRC books and recipe cards.  I have [...]

Reboot

So, I haven’t posted for the past week.  It originally started with an offsite meeting we had last Wednesday, and the downhill sleigh ride of no posting has continued until now.  I won’t recap everything that’s been going on for the last week, but I have been busy.  Here are just a couple of highlights:

RE:WIND [...]

Ongoing WRC

Planning for WRC is ongoing.  The major thrust of my morning was a creative team meeting for WRC.  I think I surprised both myself and everyone else at the meeting when I mentioned that we only have three weeks until we present to the main WRC planning committee.
I’ll be working on budget items and further [...]

More cooking, less music

So, here is the new WRC logo.  I’d say that I like it an equal amount to the previous one.  I just changed the icons.  Even though it’s a seemingly small change, little things like that can take a while.  The crab was easy, but the other two changes (the chef and the stewing pot) [...]

Incredibly hungry…. for Jambalaya?

Actually, I was really hungry for Chicken Tikka Masala last night, so that’s why my lunch leftovers are today.  They’re gone already, in fact.  But this work post does have something to do with food.
It was decided last week by the WRC committee that I change up some of the icons on the WRC logo [...]

Morning Meetings

This morning was primarily filled with prepping for and attending a meeting.  I prepped for a WRC conference call scheduled for 9:30.  I consequently had to miss the Town Hall, but I’m hoping someone will fill me in before Monday.
The WRC Planning Committee meeting was good, but long.  I’m getting excited for our next planning [...]

More Odds and Ends

I had more odds and ends to wrap up this afternoon after an incredibly focused morning.  This summary will be quick.

OCSC staff meeting
Mandated Privacy Training via OLU
Phone call and meeting re: WRC hospitality packets
LEED Training certificates modifications

Last but not least, I did publicize this blog to all those on my OCSC team.  Welcome, if you’re [...]

WRC Starting to Simmer

My morning notes post is actually being written in the early afternoon, as the WRC Creative Team meeting lasted quite a while.  Hooray for that, though, because I feel like we really made some good progress.
Overall, we:

Established some consistent team meeting times
Brainstormed ideas for awards, the buzz campaign, and a conference agenda and meeting book
Established [...]

Smallish stuff

This afternoon I took care of a lot of little stuff.

I got a letter-size page setup going for the Transition presentation
I got a layout for LEED certificates that Amy reminded me about
I had a quick meeting regarding roles and assignments for the upcoming WRC
I had a meeting about copy for the conference room posters
I consulted [...]
