Planning a holiday party in September might feel a bit early, but trust me, you're better off starting sooner than later.  It takes time to complete site visits, develop menus, look into entertainment options, and for leadership to review (and approve!) all of the work you've done.  Plus, all of best venues tend to book up months if not years in advance!  Get a budget from your finance team, schedule those site visits, and get to work.

Add another task to your own Roughly Quarterly schedule of Things That Need To Be Addressed...or not, it's up to you!  Seriously, though, don't let it ride for years like I did.  Stay on top of your files so you don't run into an unpleasant situation where you lose something more important than two minutes of a podcast recording.  xo Jess

The title is not a typo!  I'm having major GarageBand technical trouble, and this is the best thing I could get my computer to produce.  GarageBand keeps claiming the disk is too slow to record, and when it will record, it spontaneously crashes and deletes my music track.  ¯\(ツ)/¯   

Enjoy the entirety of the theme song, which is Deviate by Podington Bear.  See you next week!
