I am copied on highly confidential information and I read emails that seem to be written in a new language – sales speak.

We also have a staff calendar at work and use the all day events the same way.

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. Let your fingers do the walking: Quick keyboard sh. Oh where or where is my password?
