Laughing all the Way to Work

When I receive an initial request for a meeting, I use a meeting form and write down the information I need: who is requesting the meeting, what is the purpose of the meeting, where it will be held and a phone number or an e-mail address and dates that are available. I am not a legal expert and do not claim to give any legal advice.

If you know what works best for you and if your job is 80/20 on what you like then you can put up with the small stuff like filing and filling out expense forms. This is an important thing to know. My opinions are based on experience, education, trial and error and blunders and bloopers made throughout my life and career.

If there are forms that need to filled in and it has a due date in June, I put those forms in the June folder with a bf date on it for a week before it is due. I create a corresponding Task reminder and write something like this: WAITBIN need to prepare form for production by March 23rd.

Where I used to work we had a Mailroom and I would plunk what I needed in a tray with a form to tell them how I wanted it to turn out and return to get it when it was finished. I am good at some things, but not as confident in other things. For instance, I am horrible at collating. I liked that. Now I have to do it myself.

All important information, but I knew I couldnt possibly retain much of what I was looking at in one sitting so I started to cheat and flip through a few tabs because I had to sign a form that I read the manual. My opinions are based on experience, education, trial and error and blunders and bloopers made throughout my life and career.

Food, food and more food If your event requires food the venue will send you a banqet event form and you will need to estimate the amount of food you need. Highlight that date as well and put it in your Tasks with a reminder to get back to them with final numbers. I am not a legal expert and do not claim to give any legal advice.

Put it in a folder for your boss’s signature in completed form, i.e. envelope clipped to letter and attachments. If you are sending the letter by regular mail, courier or registered mail, make sure you have the proper postage, courier slips or forms filled out. I usually put a sticky note on it for that as well.
