Wish I had my walking shoes

When I got in the office today, I had to finish assembling the press kits to have them mailed out today. I also had to deal with some interviewees who were being rescheduled and scheduled more interviews for Monday.

I was suppose to take a webinar on Twitter at noon, so at 10:30 AM I thought I would do my run to the bank and post office before the webinar. My boss asked me to also return a purse and a pair shoes at Nine West in my travels. I thought I would return the Nine West apparel first and on my way back to the office I would hit the other places I needed to go. I returned the items at Nine West, then I went to the Hancock building's post office to drop off the press kits and send a registered letter. The Hancock building's post office told me they do not send registered mail, I have to got to Ontario and Dearborn post office. So I walk back to Nine West area and past it, then West about 9 blocks. But I could not find the post office. It turns out it was on Ohio and Dearborn... When I finally figured that out and went in, there were about a dozen or more people in front of me and only two post office employees. It took forever! Then I had to walk all the way back to where I started and go to the bank then walk back to the PR office. In total I walked about 55 to 60 blocks. It took me 2 hours to just go to the post office, bank, and return purchases...and I missed my webinar.

After that I tried to send a mass e-mail of press releases for a new appointment for one of our clients. But my e-mail would not send out, it would only receive. The e-mail account was not very useful. One of the employees did not believe me and tried, their e-mails would not send either. Instead sending the mass press release I made a media list for Compton CA, Chicago food, and Chicago news.

Tomorrow I need to write a fact sheet and bios for a new client. And I need to continue building the Chicago news media list and create two new media lists for two separate clients. I definitely have things to do now!
