Day in the Life of an Office Coordinator Hey guys, welcome to another day in the life of being an office coordinator. It's the day before chili cook off day. We have so much to do. Let's get started. First, we had our breakfast catering delivered through Easy Cater. We had corporate caterers today and they're always so bomb and they leave this cute little setup here. Today on my to-do list is to take down all of the Halloween decor and officially put up all of the fall and chili cook off decor. So it kind of looks like a mess, but it's going to be helpful to have it all out before everybody's chili gets dropped off in the morning. I also need to print out all the papers and get out all the pencils for everybody to do their voting and their ranking of chilies tomorrow. I also put out little bowls so that we can just put some plain tortilla chips out as palate cleansers in between chilies. This is a very strict competition. We have rules. Everybody has to go over them at the beginning and people take it extremely seriously. My target delivery got here. Of course, it was fully stocked with tons of drinks and snacks and everything to be absolutely perfect for tomorrow's event. This took me quite a long time to put all of this away and then make sure that it was all organized and ready to grab for tomorrow when the fridge of course gets empty. There's going to be so many people here, so I'm really going to have to stay on top of this tomorrow. I am obsessed when this fridge is fully stocked. And then of course, I also had to restock our dessert fridge, which was definitely looking a little sad. Also, I had to restock all of our fridge snacks and things to eat and a potluck. So I put this little sign so that no one would eat that today. Along with the chili cook off tomorrow, we have a whole variety of snacks and things to eat and a potluck. Then I restocked the snacks and took down Halloween decor. So here's how we run the chili cook off. I have people sign up beforehand if they want to be a chili chef. We've had 15 people sign up. So that was a lot. There's a whole playbook and handbook that I give them and they have to read it and sign it about all the rules, no cheating, etc. Then I also get a small group of volunteers that I call the chili handlers. Usually I try to get four to six people to help me with all the chilies during chili cook off day. So what I'm doing during the chili cook off is I am the host, so I'm on the microphone, I'm keeping people entertained, I'm keeping the competition moving. And the chili handlers are behind the scenes scooping all the chilies into tasting cups and passing them out. So I will be on the microphone and say, okay, this is chili A, and everybody will have a little tasting spoon and they will rank it one through five how they liked it. And then at the end, the highest ranked chili wins. Another thing that I did was I got all the goodie bags ready for in-person people tomorrow. Everybody got some socks and some fun little goodies to wear. And then before I knew it, it was chili cook off day. We did have a mishap in the parking lot. Someone pulled a Kevin and dropped their chili. Here's all the little tasting cups I was talking about. Of course, those look really messy. That's why I got second place. I couldn't believe it. Here I am hosting this event. This takes two to three hours. Always so much fun and such great memories. The winner gets their name on a big trophy that we keep in the office, some little goodies and also a little trophy for their desk. And of course, bragging rights. Spent the afternoon cleaning up. And that was my day.
