Batch 2- A Typical day at IAW.

I typically arrive at the office at 10 AM. When I first walk in, I log into my computer and wait for it to boot up. As this usually takes a few minutes, I drop off my lunch in the break room and grab something to drink. When I get back to my desk I check my emails. I usually have one or two new articles referencing Dr. Cialdini to read and at least one new order to process.
I'll then process the merchandise order.* This means finding an appropriate sized box, bubble wrap and creating a shipment on FedEx.  We also have trainers who order workbooks for seminars that are not local. In this case, I get an email with the number of participants and which workshop they are hosting (1 or 2 day). I'll then package up workbooks, a copy of Dr. Cialdini's book, and a summary card.
Since our semi annual local workshop is coming up soon, I have been slowly gathering and organizing the necessary items and taking inventory. I tell my manager if we are missing any documents, any AV equipment is broken, or anything else that may need attention. Today, I made "welcome packets" to be delivered to each participant's hotel room.  We included a letter from Dr. Cialdini, an agenda for the workshop, and an Arizona magazine *as many participants are not local (one is even flying in from India!).
After this is done, I'll usually have one or two low priority projects to work on. Dr. Caildini has a new book coming out soon, so I have been working on an excel spreadsheet with potential contacts for media, early review copies, or just a gift for the support over the years. I have also been recording statistics on all workshop evaluations turned in by participants. I record the number of the top two most common request and intend on comparing them all to see what large scale changes could be made.
And lastly, before heading home for the day, I'll check on our office hermit crabs. I refill the water, food and will clean their cage when necessary.
That's all for now!
