Hope everyone had a great spring break, I know I did!
Now its back to work! These days I am mainly working with the housing department at the bureau because it is super under staffed! It has been a really long time since they have had this many groups opening up at once, and they arent properly staffed for how much there is to do. So busy is an understatement!
Last week I was out for 3 days for my vacation and when I came back on Thursday, I had a mess to clean up! One of our groups I am pretty much working on by myself and so while I was on vacation they tried their hardest to keep up with the group.
This week, we had ADEA's conference begin and so I attended their pre-con meeting which is always one of my favorite things to do as an intern. I like meeting with all sides of the conventions and see what other avenues are out there. On top of having one group here, we have 2 groups shutting down (which is always busy with last minute registrations and what not) and they will be here at the end of March, beginning of April.
With the economy as it is, the GPCVB housing department didnt have it in their budget to hire on a replacement for a girl who went back to school in January, which she was great and a huge help; major part in why we are so busy. So after my internship I may stay on part time through May so that they arent left with only 1 person working in the department. Way to much work for one person to handle!
Hope everyone is having luck putting appliactions out there, we are getting so close!
