Budgeting

OK so I might be a bit cross-eyed this evening. I spent nearly 4 hours on calls going over the budget for a Conference I’m working on. It’s a big one, so lots to capture.

We’ve broken the back of it. Ended up with lots more questions so tomorrow I will be doing my best to answer them.

Now we know that I’m not really a numbers girl. I much prefer words. These numbers are rather important so need to be right.

People sometimes ask me if event management is just the bit at the actual conference. Believe me there are a million and one things to get done beforehand. I’m going to be a busy girl. Good job I love it!

Working with words

Super sub was called into action again today. On Thursday, I was asked if I could fill in and be part of a panel at the UEA about PR & Comms. It was part of an annual event called ‘Working With Words’.

It was an easy yes if I’m honest. Anyone who knows me, knows I love words. And I love the career I’ve created around them. So to be able to talk to the next generation of potential ‘Pip’s’ was wonderful.

Hopefully I inspired them. As well as giving them an honest appraisal of the role. It’s not all glamour and glitz. It’s hard graft. But so rewarding.

Low mileage

Now I am definitely a word girl. I can do numbers, but I wouldn’t say they’re a strength. But I love some numbers. Today the Comedy Car went over to 58,000 miles. That’s quite a cool number.

What was also cool, was that it happened just as I pulled into my driveway.

Show tunes

Well it’s been a pretty rough day weather-wise. So good job I was inside packing gingerbread. We stuck some show tunes on, danced and sang the day away.

It seems I know a lot of show tunes, but not necessarily all the words. 🤪
