I'm going to try to begin posting here about my job. What I do, how I do it, what my days look like. I may have some thoughtful ideas, but for now, I just want to post a list of what went by as I had a regular Monday:
- Reconfigured the fax machine so it will print confirmation of faxes sent and received.
- Set up a meeting with our education coordinator, set myself a reminder to remind her.
- Looked at blip.tv and revver.com and thought about video.
- Looked at Science Collaborative Framework and thought about online collaboration.
- Fixed a page on our web site.
- Did a bunch of data entries to the database, Salesforce, including some phone discussions with a partner or two about who to talk to at their house.
- Set up a meeting with the Red Cross to hear about their international programs.
- Had a meeting with a data entry volunteer who can really help with data cleaning.
- Did probably two total hours of training on donations and recurring donations and pledges with the staff member who is most responsible for it.
- Worked with a board member to use a Google doc for collaborating. This was a phone consultation.
Sort of mind-boggling, huh? Normally, I'd attribute the training with Mattie to the day's accomplishment, but not really count anything else. Wild and amazing, this great job.
