Hello Readers - 8 months ago, a reader asked me a question about fraternization and social etiquette at work. When the lady found out about the happy hour and that I organized the event for the terminated employee, she was not happy. The link is that original post. Many apologies for a later than usual response.

Also, keep in mind that you don’t want anyone to alter the information in your report. This will enable you to create a PDF-like file where no one can manipulate information.

If someone puts in a "birthday" or a "pick up the dry cleaning" reminder in their calendar as an all-day event, to those who are using the Scheduler, it will look like the person is busy for the day and in reality they may have the day open. We also have a staff calendar at work and use the all day events the same way.

I am speaking this morning at an administrative event so looking forward to meeting some new assistants. The one good thing about speaking at an event where nobody knows me is, they have no idea whether my hair is supposed to be this dark. Some good advice to pass along: Never colour your hair the night before an event.

Some of you might already know the answer to this, but I thought that Id give the information here anyways, since I was stumped in the beginning as well. They forget to do their own flight check-in and dont have time, so they call you up and ask you to do it. You scratch your head and wonder how this can be done.

I have seen some contracts for event planners and it seems like a lucrative career to get into. I love the planning, organizing and running around that goes into bringing a conference from a thought to a successful event. Too much information. Now I am glad I stayed in this career because I can do all these things.
