Aircraft movements near the office have been lacking from reports thus far; this should be improved immediately! ;) I wouldn't actually  have thought there'd be space to land a chinook within a hundred-metre radius of the office. On a serious note, though, it is interesting to hear what goes on in a typical day at the office, and I think you've contributed to a greater understanding among the community of what you do for the chapter.

I kept a rough timetable on a couple of post-its today, and I'm transcribing them below: 10:00 - 10:50 - Answering & Reading Emails, replying to urgent ones 10:50 - 11:00 - Post (posting competition prizes overseas) 11:00 - 12:00 - More emails, doing WMUK AGM teller work (see my 11:16 contribution on uk.wikimedia.org) 12:00 - 12:30 - Finance (invoices, expenses etc) 12:30 - 12:45 - Preparing for Board meeting 12:45 - 13:15 - Finance (checking and paying expenses) 13:15 - 15:00 - Finance (invoices, filing paperwork) 15:00 - 15:30 - Emails, various governance issues. A Chinook came overhead and circled, and landed about 100 metres away from the office - I admit that I attempted to take a few photos of it from the window for Commons. However, the windows were too dirty, the attempt was unsuccessful! 15:30 - 16:00 - Lunch! Carrot and Coriander soup, and half a baguette.  16:00 - 19:00 - Preparing financial reports for AGM, updating supplier details on Sage, tracking down 2011 payments, bank reconciliation 19:00 - 19:30 - Relaxing a bit, preparing for board meeting 19:30 - 22:30? - Minuting the Board Meeting (see http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Agenda_8May12) Interspersed throughout this were two or three phone calls, with Mike, Fae, Chris Keating, and a couple of suppliers. I hope this all makes sense, please ask me if you have any questions. I did have short breaks here and there, because today is a long day, as I'm minuting the board meeting. I hope this helps satiate your thirst for knowledge for a short while :-) PS: Don't worry, I'm complying with the appropriate working time regulations - Jon is very strict about that!
