Valet Fantasia: that's why you found me
VAD Willow: I was surprised to do so
Valet Fantasia: as behind the scenes I do a number of things
Valet Fantasia: during the rattle snake bar opening I set up the schedule
Valet Fantasia: couldn't make it cause I got sick
VAD Willow: aww, sorry it was a very nice event
Valet Fantasia: Yeah I had a headache so bad
Valet Fantasia: I was laying at my desk trying to watch the screen
VAD Willow: sure hope you can make VAD next Saturday
Valet Fantasia: Oct. 10th?
Valet Fantasia: correct?
VAD Willow: we expect to have a good turnout
Valet Fantasia: I will try to pop in for a few, but I had already made prior plans in the DS
Valet Fantasia: for an all day event that I have been planning for way over a month now
VAD Willow: can you mention any other behind the scenes activities you have performed
Valet Fantasia: Well two things I can think of are..
Valet Fantasia: the map we have which needs to be updated
Valet Fantasia: was done by me and the account info star I update as I get new info.
Valet Fantasia: that is on the board
VAD Willow: guess these things dont happen on their own
Valet Fantasia: along with that I also handle the admin functions of a Forum the Valets use.
Valet Fantasia: I grant acess to new Valets
VAD Willow: is the valet forum how valets communicate with each other then?
Valet Fantasia: and I handle all the functions for keeping the Forum update to date
Valet Fantasia: Yes<grin>
Valet Fantasia: All events that are linked inworld
VAD Willow: well that seems like a lot of ongoing responsibility
Valet Fantasia: are also linked on a Welcome screen in the Forum which I update that as new events come up or events happen and are done with I remove them
Valet Fantasia: not to mention purging old messages
Valet Fantasia: that are no longer valid to keep our Forum cleaned up for when new Valets enter
Valet Fantasia: which is a very long process
Valet Fantasia: I have to read each thread and delete each one
Valet Fantasia: those that are out of date and no longer need to be around
Valet Fantasia: makes it easier for new comers
Valet Fantasia: who come in
Valet Fantasia: so they don't have so many messages to read
Valet Fantasia: Just today I had over 300 messages in one section
Valet Fantasia: and I deleted about 100
Valet Fantasia: that were out of date and didn't apply anymore
VAD Willow: I appreciate that you were able to share this, these are things I dont think us citizens ever think about these tasks and that someone has to do them
Valet Fantasia: It's a lot of work, but someone has to do or it won't get done<grin>
Valet Fantasia: So I guess you can call me the WizOp of the Valet Forum
VAD Willow: next question...
VAD Willow: approximately how many hours per month, on average, would you say you devote to Hotel activities, either inworld on behind the scenes?
Valet Fantasia: Hmmmmmmm tough question
Valet Fantasia: I spend at least 2-4 a day
VAD Willow: yes, everyone needs to think about this one
Valet Fantasia: varies from day today
Valet Fantasia: depends on what is going on
VAD Willow: what amout inworld vs behind the scenes?
Valet Fantasia: I would say more behind the scenes
Valet Fantasia: I try to split my time because I am also an Acolyte
VAD Willow: an average is fine...we want Hotel citizens to realize just because they dont see you doesnt mean you arent working on their behalf
Valet Fantasia: these past two months I have had not had a computer
Valet Fantasia: just got a new one this weekend<grin>
VAD Willow: well, congratulations..I wonder how you managed to survive without a computer?
Valet Fantasia: I had a PC that I could use but my time was limited
Valet Fantasia: and I didn't have access to all the things I needed
VAD Willow: Please share with us one of your more humorous or interesting valet experiences here in Hotel
Valet Fantasia: still trying to get my PC finished<grin> and back to norm
