Can I borrow somebody's brain, please?

[u4ic]

I have to *gasp* organize a meeting, and the O word is a dirty one in my vocabulary. :scared:

You'd think they know by now to not ask me to do these things. x(

[reyd reid reed]

1. You're welcome to mine...

I'm not using it at the moment. And I don't plan to for the next few days.

Of course, that would mean I'd have to find it first, wouldn't it?

:hi:

:P






(And how can the 'O' word be dirty? That's got to be one of the best words Ever.....)

[Oeditpus Rex]

4. Ahem...

*taps foot*

[reyd reid reed]

9. You got a cold?

They say hot tea is good if you've got a sore throat.








:hi:




I was wonderin' where you'd gone to. Thought you were outside or takin' a nap or something

[Oeditpus Rex]

12. Oy

I read that as "Thought you were outside takin' a nap or something." :rofl:

[reyd reid reed]

13. Where'd you leave your specs this time?

:rofl:


Y'know, on a pretty day, it can be nice to take a nap outside...

[u4ic]

5. 'Organize' is one of the best words ever?

Sweetie, freecycle out that rocking chair of yours! It's affecting your...perception. (and throw out the knitting, too, if 'Metamucil' is also on that best words list)


:hug:

[reyd reid reed]

11. Ooooooh....

you meant 'organize'. Sorry...I was thinking of another 'o' word.

:P

[Wapsie B]

2. The O word?

You don't mean........

Oscar Robertson?

[u4ic]

7. If he can organize things

I'll take him! :thumbsup:

[Wapsie B]

14. Well I would definitely call him a leader.

One of the best. I think organizing would be one of his best skills. :)

[Oeditpus Rex]

3. Fortunately for you

there's me. :D

Organizing stuff is one of my fortes. I've planned lots and lots o' meetings.

PM me if you want. :hi:

[u4ic]

16. I'm actually chairing it

I should have pointed it out.

I have to dissect and decipher a lot of information to make up the agenda, and keep the meeting on track; I'm just drawing a blank. The person who has a lot of that information - the keeper of the records, so to speak - is on vacation till the day before the meeting. I'm really trying to get as much done until they gets back, and then cram the rest of it.

I can direct conversation with no problem, but I really don't have a good grasp of details. The meeting will be about nothing but. I'm just not a 'details' person.

If I need some help, I'll take you up on your offer. Thanks! :hi:

6. I would loan you mine but Nelly ruined it for the night.

:(

:rofl:

[u4ic]

17. A friend and I joke

that between us, we share one working brain.

She's been hogging it lately. :silly:


:rofl:

[Nicole]

18. Well make her share!

What a brain pig! :P

[petronius]

8. But haven't you heard? - "It's all about the 'O'."

(Anyway, organizing meetings is easy: make entry on everyone's scheduler, reserve room, order coffee and donuts, type up agenda, rehearse tactful way of telling 'Barney the Blabbermouth' to shut the hell up, and you're good to go...)

[u4ic]

19. THAT stuff I can do with no problem

(and they all know about the meeting; I'm just the rotating chair) but it's the meat of the meeting, the details, that I'm having problems with. I posted a bit more about it in my response to OediRex.

I can direct the actual meeting with no problem, but draw a blank when it comes to details.:hi:

[SPKrazy]

10. Just say SHOW UP YOU HOSERS!

order some refreshments, and have an agenda printed up and you'll look mah velous!

:hug:

[u4ic]

20. See post 16

:hi:

[Whoa_Nelly]

15. Let me know what you need

Organization is something I do...

[u4ic]

21. Like I said,

someone's brain...or at least the left part of one. Just for a few days. ;-)

Thanks, Nelly! If I need some help, I know who I can turn to. :hug:

[qnr]

22. I feel for you. I've been using this for my "organization" line for decades:

(in email and news clients)

[u4ic]

23. That sums up my style perfectly!

:thumbsup:

[barb162]

24. Just get a bunch of donuts and have lots of coffee there, etc
