Good-bye Administrative Work!

We started another round of summer seminars. I used to dread seminars. Not because of the people, or the places, but because of the administrative work. It may not seem intimidating, but it is for someone (like me) who has absolutely no gift in administration. Basically the seminar secretary is responsible for all the behind-the-scenes, detailed stuff.

When I started with TEP a few years back we thought it would be a good idea to give the role of the seminar secretary to me. Well it took me about three summers to realize that I’m just not “cut out” for the job. This year, to my great delight, Barb has taken back the role of the seminar secretary (she’s so organized; no unfiled document is safe from her). Some of the things that I have done in preparation for this seminar I would have done in years past on my own, but it’s just so much easier for me to complete those same tasks under Barb.

Now we’ve completed the first day of the seminar and while it was going on I was happily helping out in the kitchen!
