This is funny, but not unexpected

I tried to go to FLICKR to upload photos and here is the message I got:

New Name

I've recently had a few comments about the unfortunate acronym that comes with our working in the 'Box Office'- apparently the 'BO Brigade' says something about our hygenic state. (Don't feel so bad, I also work for the Transition Program at UPEI and students refer to our workshop as 'TP').

Perhaps it is time to rethink our social title. We do live in both a Box and a glass tank, so any associated objects might fit in (fish and...packing styrofoam? On second thought, maybe we should forget those...). Or should we make reference to our role in Guest Services? Maybe something about our job to sell tickets- ticketmasters? Oh, I don't know...

Any suggestions?

Curry & Movie!

Wednesday night, 5PM Churchill Arms - 2-for-1 one curry!

Afterwards, to City Cinema to see either The Queen at 7:00pm or For Your Consideration at 9:05pm (depending on the wait, how long we take, or how much beer we drink)

oops

ok, so here's the deal, I switched my blogger account over to 'new blogger' and now it's making everyone else switch too. Had I known that I wouldn't have but it is too late. Here's what you have to do before you can see your name back on the column on the left or post to the blog:

1. Go to blogger.com

2. Click "sign in using old blogger"

3. If you remember your username & password, sign in. If not click "forgot password" and either fill in your username or, if you forget that too, fill in your email address and wait for your password to be emailed you, then go back and sign in.

4. Once you're signed in click the link that says "Switch now" or something like that.

5. If you have a google account already then enter your google (gmail) username and password. If you don't have a google account you're going to have to follow the links and sign up for one. Sorry.

6. You should now be all set. From now on, to sign into blogger you'll click "new blogger" from blogger.com and use your google account info to sign in. Once you switch you'll probably also have to use your google account when you sign in to post comments as well.

Again, sorry for the confusion.

Birthday Wishes for Mikey!

Upcoming staff meeting - NEW DATE DECIDED

What: BO/Marketing Staff Meeting

When: TUESDAY JANUARY 16TH - 5:30PM

Who: Brenda, new CCOA sales rep - Penny Walsh, and any box officers with input/ideas to contribute

Why: The Marketing dept. would like to hear our input about common misconceptions/confusing/misleading information guests have about Anne/the Summer Festival when they call in (i.e. is it an outdoor show, etc.) just to give them an idea of what they could be doing differently to market the show. They would also like to hear what is working and maybe some suggestions to make it better.

This is not a mandatory meeting - please don't show up if you aren't going to say anything. If you think you do have something to say, anything at all, then we certainly want you there. This is your opportunity to fix any miscommunication about the Summer Festival so that we do not have to continue to deal with 'surprises' next summer.
