I've been given a new project here, and it involves me calling bars. Working in a political office I never thought I would call a bar and say that I am representing the Mayor. What I am actually doing is setting up the meeting spots for the Mayor's Young Professionals Kitchen Cabinet. So it is a pretty official thing. It's surprising how easy it is to set up a meeting at a bar for like 60 people. As another part of this I am contacting and setting up the speakers.
Doing both of these things together results in one of those puzzles where there are clues and this person can't go here because of this. Let's just say I rocked those things when I was younger. They were my favorite type of brain teaser, and this one was like a real-life brain teaser. There is one speaker who rides his bike everywhere, so I needed to make sure that his speaking location is near his downtown residence. Other speakers lived in neighborhoods further out, so they were assigned to the bars near to their neighborhoods. Finally, some of the locales only have room for a large group like the YPKC during the warmer months when their patios are open. Long puzzle short, I have reserved the locations for both the November and December meetings and am working ahead of most of the restaurants to reserve meetings for 2015. Things are clicking into place and it's so fun to have something that is very much task oriented and a to-do list that I can check off things as I complete them. It's also awesome to have something that is in the local news that is my personal responsibility.
