Calm after the deadline storm!
Jan 7th
Got to my desk early today and was at a very creative mood – Was about to burn more DVD catalog’s and I got a call that they didn’t need anymore!
I have to post the design of the CD it’s pretty simple but I like it – nice and clean!
I really like the sense of digital catalogs now after creating this – officially this is the 2nd digital catalog I have published for them, I am digging it now! I still think people like to have the PRINTED version.
So what is it? Digital or Traditional (PRINT) Let me blog about that later on today. First let me head over run the Website Analytic Reports and see if the 2010 International CES got of a good start!
The Deadline is now Dead!
Jan 6th
We pushed it as much as we could and we only ended up with 30 DVD’s! This is what I expected since we had so many hitches and with only 4 sets of hands working on 100 tasks = Impossible!
Well the good part is I get to do more edits on it and get it going for tomorrow! MICROBOARD is not finally making its worth and working like a charm!
Today was a really hectic day…wait…what day is it?
Just Checking In – Desk – Deadline Day
Jan 6th
It ‘s like 9:45am and I just got to my desk to get this done – Early morning rush! Drove to pick up the blank DVDs and Ink Cartridge for the MICROBOARD Publisher – then drove down like 30miles to pick up some of the sales team’s business cards and stuck in LA traffic towards my office. (I still made it to type up this blog before everything else)
We have to re-calibrate this MICROBOARD again before we can even get everything going! 200 DVD’s is impossible at this point – Deadline is set in 2 hours (is that possible?)
My assistant Mark is now working on the prep and I am once again multitasking – doing a 2nd run through and minor edits to the catalog and designing a simple DVD cover.
Let’s get this done and let’s see where it takes us!
Closing the Catalog Day!
Jan 5th
Well today is the closing the catalog day for me and my assistant! If we can do it! (I know we can – but I have a feeling there are other obstacles my other teammates have in store for me to do)
Aside from trying to do a final run through and doing a preflight check on the catalog file – I need to make sure this MICROBARD publisher is working – if not I will have to make a run to office depot and make sure I find a CD/DVD printer then I have to do a single burn (that would be fun wouldn’t it?) 200 CD/DVD burns (3minute burns) Wow! I don’t want to even think about the hours I need to get that done!
Well let me get back to work and end this blog for now and let’s see what tomorrow holds!
5th Day of the Year and everything is still fine!
What a Manic Monday!
Jan 4th
I have to say today was a very hectic day! Being gone really does put a toll! So much stuff to do, designing the site, compiling the catalog, packaging design approvals – you name it! I got it!
We are now trying to see if we can do the catalogs for CES 2010 in CD/DVD format – This would be a good idea! If I get to find our DISC PUBLISHER by MICROBOARDS
I need to get this CATALOG going and I have to run a analytics report on the site as well. Not to mention the photos I have to re-take for both the website and the catalog – Well the catalog will only take me a few hours, for the website I think it will take me and my team at least a few weeks to get it really going! (SAD)
Well for today Monday is done! Tomorrow will even get crazier…Well as I said 2010 will be a good year, so bring in the craziness (the good crazy that is)
Leaving Las Vegas – Phew!
Jan 3rd
Wow! Finally headed back home! My own bed! 3 Weeks for being gone and just traveling everywhere is just exhausting but fun! It’s a Sunday and I know when I get home I will be so tired to do anything and I know tomorrow is a Monday and it is catalog crunch time for the CES (Consumer Electronics Show) 2010 – guess where? Yes! Las Vegas! – AGAIN!
Things to do:
1. Get the catalog done!
2. Try and get out of coming back to Las Vegas for the show (note to self: make sure you get all the necessary paperwork done for everyone else)
OK! Time to get my GOING HOME mode on!
Blog 2 – Day 2 of 2010 – Las Vegas
Jan 2nd
Wow! I never imagined being in Las Vegas for like 2 weeks back and forth! Well I did it, 2 weeks of In and Out of Las Vegas! Today is the last day and the family has left! Last group leaving today and headed out to the airport to drop them off!
Tonight is alone time with the wifey and BLUEMAN GROUP show! R&R is coming! Then Monday comes and it’s back to crunch time!
Well just wanted to share my 2cents of the day!
Happy New Year! Welcome to 2010
