On the Road Again

Just found out I'm going on our Senior Management Retreat!! Woo Hoo!!

CEO Executive assistant, busy, time better spent in office wheeling and dealing. My boss, VP of HR, needs to be on site for various reasons, would wiggle out of this any way possible. So here I am, HR Manager / primary default at your service!

This has happened twice before in my tenure here, last minute travel, blah blah, this and that, no sweat, got it covered! I have learned the only thing you need to know is you are there to fetch, find and confirm, fetch, find, change and reconfirm, fetch, find, update changes and reconfirm the confirmations. Keep the boss's various family members shopping, pampered, entertained, fed and happy, and your golden!! Oh and a warm and friendly rapor with the concierge puts everything over the top!

The part that makes me laugh is knowing this group will be much more high maintenance than the celebrities I've been on the road with the two previous times, we all know most executives secretly think of themselves as celebrities anyway right?

Get ready snowy mountain resort, here we come with our big ideas and hot air, I'm sure we'll have that snow melted in no time! More to come I'm sure.

And we're off...
