This week at LGBT Detroit has been super hectic. My primary supervisor has been busy for most of this week so I\u2019ve been left to my own devices. Last week, I was put in charge of volunteer coordinating for our Hotter Than July Testing Zones, which means my inbox has been flooded by dozens of emails of prospective volunteers, which is also a huge issue. For Hotter Than July this year, we were supposed to have 3 testing zones and we just lost one, bringing us down to two. That reduced how many volunteers I\u2019m responsible for from 55 to 35 but it was really stressful emailing companies and going \u201chey guys, so about that third zone, it doesn\u2019t exist, whoops.\u201d It\u2019s also super stressful making sure everyone is on the same page about what shifts they\u2019re working for this event. I\u2019m making it seem worse than it is, but it\u2019s manageable, it\u2019s also just unfamiliar for me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also, starting July 5th, I\u2019m on-site every day which means I can no longer be a computer gremlin hidden by a screen. For most of the weeks, I\u2019ve mostly been given a list of tasks to get done and left alone. Now people are actually going to observe me and make sure I\u2019m on task and don\u2019t get me wrong, I get my work done, but in a way that my ADHD-wired brain prefers, which is a lot of breaks, but a lot of working stints. I\u2019ll probably be fine (eh, maybe not). However, I\u2019m excited to meet the rest of LGBT Detroit in person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Oh yeah, Hotter Than July is 3 weeks away which means I have a deadline fast approaching to find 35 volunteers, assist in the filming of 3 events, and also social media promotion. Kind of crazy. I\u2019m kind of rambling right now, so I guess this is the end. Peace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
