At one point during my interview I was told I would assist some colleagues in planning a conference on sustainability and energy at our campus. Yesterday when I was chatting with one of those people and said, "Oh, by the way, I look forward to helping with our conference here" she looked right back at me and replied, like it was no biggie, "Good, because you'll be the lead for that. You know, plan it." Oh sure. I've been here two minutes, give me a huge project. I certainly don't mind the workload, but I don't want to disappoint.
Looks like I will attend at least one conference in Pasadena and maybe another in San Luis Obispo, which means gathering ideas on everything from the set-up to the program. I want to call ours "Sustainability Wow" as an homage to Kevin Smith*...or maybe "Sustain THIS!" and require all presenters to end their segments with jazz hands. I could go either way.
It's a little intimidating, but mostly I'm excited. I can put all of my wedding planning energy into the conference and dial down the Miss Havisham** act a little bit.
*You just fell in love with me a little bit more, didn't you?
**It's OK, Baby. Don't fight it.
