- ran reimbursements and boarders' money to CO
- went to managers' meeting
- paid Megapath bill on my debit card, will reimburse today (121.65)
- received next Megapath bill, being paid today (WTF, Megapath?)
- reimbursing Sarah today for maintenance stuff, Netflix, and such (100 something)
- emailed Monique about meeting up for my central level evaluation
- finally got info from Heather at CO about how to order furniture. Rooms N and O both lack bed frames. I'm going to try to order 2 of them, but room N is weird because it's a big mattress (queen, double?) and I don't know if I can order a frame that size. Also, CO sucks.

Party prep, nightlife
Crazy week for me personally. Things I have done in the past week:
- Put up room sign-up and security sign-up sheets for Time Warp on social board
- Made flyer, made colorful copies @ CO
- Completed and submitted to CO BSC Party Notification Forms
- Added Christina's and Erika's events to google calendar
- Made tons of hummus (not exactly social manger duties, but delicious)
- Bought, printed out, and reimbursed people for Nightlife tickets
- Composed and emailed camping survey
- Made small adjustments to google calendar
- Told people to move crap out of hallway so we don't fail the party fire inspection
- Didn't sleep enough
Upcoming stuff:
- Be present for party fire inspection
- Hopefully get speaker system from neighboring co-op since ours sucks
- Finalize r2r room openings and themes, organize order of openings
- Get more people to sign up as security and clean up (it's a bucket o fun, people!)
- Buy food, drink, and decoration supplies for Time Warp
- Decorate downstairs
- Party hard

Week's Activities
- emailed with Disability Access Coordinator re: sex and disability forum at Sherman
- paid New York Times bill (31.81)
- paid Comcast bill (13.79)
- emailed Heather at CK to finally find out how to order furniture. Once this is accomplished, I can reimburse people for appliance purchases (like a new blender and shredder).
- collected fees from new members
- reimbursed Keighley for Nightlife ($35)
- showed a potential member the open spot, but she wasn't digging it
- got a past due notice from Megapath. I've been expecting that bill for a while now, and it seems they've been really flaky the past few months (Out of the past four bills, I've received one. Yes, 1). I will phone and pay by credit card tomorrow and then reimburse myself.

KM things
-Had a cooks mtg. this past week. We discussed the pros and cons of using menus and how we're one of the few houses that still do use them. It sounded like several of the cooks would be more willing to work sans menus. We had a few cooks that didn't show. Most told us why, but a couple haven't talked with us even after we sent emails. But the cooks in general have been great with improvising and being flexible. And it seems like they're doing a better job with getting food out on time.
-Talked to/sent emails a few cooks about some flubs in menus (like missing protein dishes or using too much of a certain item in several dishes in one night).
-CK was closed today so we ordered a bunch of extra stuff to come for Friday.
-Still talking to CK about the inconsistencies with dairy (like deliveries coming on Saturdays without any kind of advanced notice, etc.). They still haven't gotten a dairy person yet even though applications were due last week and several people applied.
-I got a new cereal holder that a lot of people like (I think for the novelty factor...). But it leaves a mess that can majorly attract ants and it crushes the cereal when it comes out so I might turn it back in.

Week's Activities

- moved in Alyse and Alison on Thursday. Showed them rooms, gave them keys.
- went to BSC house managers' meeting
- paid January AT&T bill. It was bigger than usual ($43.23) because the previous month had not been paid. The day after I sent in the check, I found the December bill in my mailbox. Odd. But everything is okay; don't worry.

CRAZY WEEK!
Unfortunately the Academy of Sciences Nightlife for this week sold out, but we are still on to go next week. I have yet to recieve money from all but one person... But we are still planning on about the same schedule (leaving around 530 from the house and taking public transport). I also want to see if any drivers would be willing to go, which would save time and money and fun.
The party theme has also been finalized: Time Warp!
I'll be organizing room themes, decorating, and supply buying in the next 2 weeks, as well as assigning social hours for party set-up, security, and clean-up. I still have yet to figure out exactly what to do with the post-r2r music situation, and whether I should find someone to dj or try to assign social hours for guarding the ipod playlist. Also, I need to make a good and updated music playlist (and am open to help/input from the house...)
This week I am checking out the house to make sure it is up to fire code and will be filling out the party notification form and dropping it off at CO by friday. I also have to design a poster for the party and submit that too.
I'll be working on a rought script for a skit to liven up house council too... Get excited, Sherman.

KM shiznit
Kitchen budget ~$2900
Evan is boarding with us again. We're charging him $800 for starting on Feb 2; this comes from $560 being the Sherman person rate (I can explain this to anyone who would like an explanation) and the remaining comes from the 1.5 hrs of workshift per wk that we'll be losing from a non-workshifter boarding. It should technically be 3 hrs BUT Maggie and I felt it ludicrous to charge $1100 for the semester, esp. since Kim only charged him $650 last semester.
Guilia's sister most likely will board with doing workshift. We're gonna charge her $300 if she starts Monday. Again, I can explain my rates to anyone who wants to know.
A lot of my job is behind the scenes. My main duties are:
-ordering food on the CK system on Sundays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, plus turning in sheets to CK personally on Mondays
-going to meetings
-sending emails (this is how we've been trying to get boarders) and communicating with CK about lost/incorrect orders
-creating menus: Maggie and I split it half and half - she takes a few days and I take a few to work on
Whenever I'm around at dinner I check on the cooks at least once during the middle of their shift to see if they need help. If cooks haven't done so I put meat to defrost in the fridge or soak beans. Or Maggie does this, whoever gets to it first. I put out plates and silverware if that hasn't been done already. I've been on pest-clean-up duty this weekend, getting rid of ants from our bread area. I try to find things to clean or clear here and there.
