What I've Been Up To...

• Turned in the HAPs form for the hot tub to Wes and Kevin at Central Maintenance.
• Fixed the mailbox door
• Got all the paint off/ grime off one of the dining room tables, used a beeswax/orange oil product to help restore the finish.
• Worked with Arielle (maintenance manager in training!) Showed her how to unclog shower and sink drains. The handicap shower drain is being particularly stubborn, so I sent an email to Kevin to have him come look at it.

Balanced the Checkbook

I just went through all my check copies and stubs, and I balanced the checkbook to where it should be. Right now, we have $3,230.87 of usable money. By usable, I mean that it may not reflect the current amount because checks may not have been deposited yet, but that's how much we have based on the checks I've written and cashed so far. I am making another bank run soon (hopefully this week) to deposit the remaining key deposits and internet money.

Previous budget update.

Budget Update

* House is $8,135.50
* Social is $1,579.80. Does not reflect Room-to-room cost.
* Still haven't received a bank statement. If it doesn't come by Monday, I'm going to recheck my mail box and documents. If I don't have it, I'm contacting Margie, the BSC accountant, because then I'm worried.
* Food is $3,656.48 surplus

Every week, we're going over budget on gas and electric. Please turn off all lights when you are not in the room. This includes your own room. Also, unplug items you are not currently using (cell phone chargers, blow dryers) or use a power strip.

- 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:

- 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.
