Going solo: Day 1

Today was the first day that both of my supervisors were gone since they are in New Orleans for a conference. While they are gone, I have been left with doing a few things however I went into work today not know what I would be doing. I then ended up receiving an email from one of my supervisors asking me to do a few things for him today but that didn’t take long and I also finished the book that he wanted me to read. So, with a big even coming up, the big splash gala, I ended up helping the public relations department with some of the silent auction things. I was able to take photos of all of the items so that they could be posted for the bidders to see. Taking photos has always been something that I enjoyed so while it took me a few hours to complete, it was something that I enjoyed doing and knew that I was accomplishing something.

Now, I have to write an overall summary of a 15 chapter (5 section) book (yeah, that’s a challenge). Tomorrow, I am not sure what will happen since my supervisors are still gone but I do have 2 tool loaning appointments to take care of and then I am not sure. Well, besides waiting on a few emails to get a schedule made up for the power lunches and helping someone else that’s in the office.  So, that was my day of going solo and I am glad that I was busy and accomplishing something. I then received a message from one of my supervisors asking if I had enough work to do to get through tomorrow (well, with the big splash gala coming up, I am sure I can find work to do to keep busy) so I will post again tomorrow and let you know how day 2 of going solo, taking care of the tool loaning program by myself, etc goes.
