jennlkgot the last bit of setup done on the work computer yesterday (installed the authentication app on my phone, and got the BoE account set up). Spent the rest of the day doing Election 101-103 and the first two thirds of the Running an Election training on BoE. Tomorrow, I do the (pre-) Basic training on the voter database so that I'll have an account set up there by next week so I can finish the Complete module by mid February, when we need to start sending out AV applications for the election in May. We've already started the set up - folders have been assigned, we've restocked on I Voted stickers and on voter instruction sheets for a Special Election. (Proposal 2 last year provided for an AV list where the voters got sent a *ballot* by default, but clerks have been told that will not be applicable to elections that occur before they actually *write* the policies. Carry on.)
Today, I'm in a "hurry up and wait" state. The managing editor for the district newsletter sent me a panicked email Monday night 'have you sent the newsletter yet? we need to get the retreat information out!' "yes, I know. I don't have the retreat information, much less the flyer" (that other peeps are supposed to do). 12 hours later, she sends "oh. Here's the info." The (apparently theoretical) deadline for the newsletter was over two weeks ago. They didn't really start planning the retreat until then. So, upon request, I held the newsletter while they hammered out a few details (like when and where). And then they never passed the information on to me so I could put it in. sigh. I'm waiting for final approval of the newsletter before I send it into the distribution channels.
