Event Planners Can Make Things Easier With These Tips

If you are an event planner, then you have your hands full. You are the one person that has to make sure that everything will fall into place for the event. It can be a tough job that requires a lot of multitasking, but it can also be an extremely fun job too. 

There are several things that you can use to your advantage, and one of them is a speakers bureau. In order for your event to be a great event that everyone will remember, you are going to need to hire a good public speaker to go with the general theme of your event. Trying to do this on your own is next to impossible. This is where a bureau really makes things a lot easier for you to get the job done. Instead of spending all of your time trying to locate a good speaker, you could just put a phone call into the bureau of your choice and let them do all of the work for you.

They will want to know what type of event that you need the speaker for. They will ask you some basic questions that will help them identify and locate the right type of speaker for your event. If your event calls for a motivational type speaker, then the bureau will be able to help you by referring several great motivational keynote speakers.

You will still have full control over deciding which speaker to choose from. The bureau will just help you find exactly what you are looking for. This frees up so much of your time so that you can get busy organizing the rest of the event. You will need every free minute that you can muster because organizing a large event is going to require a lot of work on your part.

Back Pains Due to Prolonged Sitting at Work

My office mate has been complaining of severe back pain and she told me that she’s experiencing it for few months already. When she cannot bear the pain anymore she consulted her doctor and undergone MRI scan to fully know where the pain is coming from. She learned that she has a mild slip disc and it can be treated through specific back therapy. I’m glad that it’s not herniated bulging disc because if it was she will have to go through surgery to ease the pain she’s experiencing. Anyway after 10 sessions of weekly therapy she’s back to normal and though she’s experiencing light pains sometimes she brushed it off as normal. 

 I also experienced such back pains but I have hesitations for MRI and therapies because it only happens to me when I’m over fatigue and tired. My work demands me to work long in front of the computer and I can’t help it sometimes to sit in a slouch position. I also had 10 weekly sessions of therapy with my Mom and it done me good. I’m glad that I didn’t have to see my doctor about it. Prayers help a lot you know.

Topics During Work Breaks

At work when we’re on lunch break we usually spends sometime talking our family. We laugh at the antics of our small kids and sometimes shows videos of them. Of course my stories of my own children is never left out as I always talk about their flair for music and in playing various musical instruments. I even told them that if there’s an instructor on Marimba playing maybe my kids will ask me to hire that music tutor. 

I mentioned it because last week my little boy is asking me about those Mike Balter Marimba Mallets he saw while researching for his assignment. From the look on his eyes I can see that he’s very determined to know what it is. I showed him various kinds of mallets and he became more interested how to play Marimba. Oh well I didn’t how to play it either so I’m hoping that his curiosity will die down and he’ll be back with his drum set wish.

Closet Turned Into Office

Source: whimages.blogspot.com via Race on Pinterest

Another beautiful makeover of closet turned into an office.  I like how they've done a slight corner for the computer and the chair then putting a small sofa on the right side for a visitor to sit on or when you suddenly feel like resting.  I always find a need to have something to rest when I'm tired working in front of the computer.  Well I can't do it when I'm in the office so it's best when I'm working at  home.  

This concept is perfect for making your home office and maximizing every space in your house to fit in new additions.  I might use this concept when I decide to work at home full time in the next few months.  God willing my husband and I will find ways on how to increase our family income so I can leave my office work.  Been praying for it for months now.

Work Amenities and Building Restrictions

Our office is located in one of the corporate buildings in business district area and we were lucky to be near needed centers and amenities. When it comes to food we have a floor dedicated to serving the people with a fast food restaurant-like setup just like when you eat in the mall. Just outside the building you’ll see chains of fanous fast food restaurants side by side giving easy access when employees want to eat. 

Few meters away are big shopping centers and malls where you can buy anything you want for personal and office needs from supplies to furniture and appliances. When it comes to required government entities where offices should pay premium contributions we only need to travel for around 10 minutes so it’s less hassle when you’re trying to beat submission deadline including those of BIR and other government agencies. 

Our place of work is just the right for us especially that the building administration team is very accommodating with tenants and employees. Of course it’s strict when it comes to some rules like no parking at the front lobby and no smoking inside the premises. Those who want to have their cigars from Famous Smoke Shop would have to go outside of the side entrance to consume it because it’s not allowed anywhere inside the building. I always see them hanging out together smoking when I return from buying food at the fast food restaurants. They really can’t pass the chance to do it even if they’re busy at work.

Stay or Transfer?

I'm getting a little bit stressed about the decision that my employer will make about our renewal or termination of our office rental in PSEC. As our contract will expire this December we need to say our intent to the owner of the unit. Well it's not a problem really as I'm just apprehensive where we'll transfer when we left our Ortigas Center office. Our sister company has transferred to Makati early this year and I was thinking if he has plans of finding an office location for us in the same place. It would be too far from my home and it will also be costly compared to our present location. Hmmm too much thinking I guess would do me no good. I'll just wait for my boss' decision.

No work for today,  I've exchanged my Thursday rest day for this day as it's Jenny's birthday.  She's finally reached her middle 40s and I will be too next week.  Our birthdays always falls on the same day so it's going to be a Friday also on my birthday.  It's my 33rd times of greeting her as we're together since we're 13 years old when we're in our sophomore years in high school.  I've attended her simple birthday feast with my 3 kids and she's glad that I'm available even if it's a work week.
