Simple Trash Blind Eye

I am thinking about this Jamaican proverb....meaning small things can have/cause big effects/problems.

In events the little things overlooked can actually ruin the experience. Something as simplE as forgetting to put adequate Toilet paper in the bathroom can mar the impact of an event.

I am beginning to realize how completely in control the event manager has to be and hence am trying to work on my flaws......one BIG one....PROCRASTINATION!

I do get things done...no doubt...but I could get more done if I would organize my time better.

ONE NOTE ON THE WORLD CUP

So far I have one problem with the World Cup...... but back to SIMPLE TRASH BLIND EYE.... The vuvuzellas are really annoying!

They are ruining the joy of watching the games and listening to the commentary. Why didnt they think about the impact of tens of thousands of people blowing this instrument and the racket it would create.

this just goes to show

YOU HAVE TO SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF

Finding Out More

Another Events Management Class yesterday and we are learning more....as to be expected yes. The class will have to plan and execute a real Event in August. This event will contribute 60% to the overall course grade and so far there have been some interesting suggestions during our brainstorming...including the suggestion of a dog show!

I chuckled a little when the dog show was suggested...not that I don't like dogs, but a Dog Show! The beauty of brainstorming...everyone gets to get their two cents in, i got a chance to learn more about the people i will be spending the next 10 weeks with.

Well the consensus seems to be that the class should organize a Charity event to assist needy children with back to school funds. That is good, I like the idea Jamaican children need all the help they can get. So I am fully on board with the charity event.
