Opportunities, ASAE, and iPad — oh, my!

Happy!
What more can I say? July has shaped up to be a fantastic month and I couldn’t be more grateful. This post will be brief — but I am so excited that I just had to share!

1. At work, we have been moving full steam ahead on our social media initiatives, well, that is full steam ahead with the resources that we currently have. And although I may be biased, I feel like we are off to a promising start and I am excited to see what the future, and specifically our annual meeting, bring. The social media work has truly been fun and rewarding, and has really given me the opportunity to challenge myself. One of the most rewarding things has been the opportunity to write a couple articles on social media for one of our monthly publications. Seeing the final copy of my second submission with very few edits was the greatest feeling ever.

2. During my annual review I was asked to review the ASAE 2010 preregistration brochure and highlight any sessions of interest, and was told that I *may* have the opportunity to go across the country to attend the event. One highlighter and several weeks later — I was told that I would, in fact, get the opportunity to attend and I just booked my hotel room this afternoon. The lineup of ASAE sessions looks extremely interesting and valuable, and I couldn’t be more excited or appreciative of this opportunity!

3. Which brings us to number three. Upon hearing that I would ‘most likely’ be able to attend ASAE, my mild, but persistent, longing for an iPad transformed into a full-on need. I attribute the fuel to the fire to two things: (1) my annoyance at traveling with my laptop, e.g. lugging it through security (or anywhere outside of home for that matter), and (2) the realization that I will probably encounter many ASAE attendees proudly toting their own iPads and effortlessly pulling off multitasking feats of strength. Translation: I knew I would fly into a quiet, but undeniable, fit of envy if I didn’t have my own. So, after saving my ‘fun money’ for a bit, I picked up my very own iPad on Friday, and so far, I love it!

With that being said, I’ve got a can of soup to prepare for dinner and some App Store surfing ahead of me. Looking forward to hopefully seeing some of my #eventprofs buddies at ASAE!
