From office to on-location... all in a days work

Hello everyone,

This post is a little out of sync because for some reason the draft did not save!
Today I wanted to talk about the days where I would work on-location and then return to the office to complete things of vice versa.

It's an interesting feeling arriving in city early, before everything is open and people have started moving.
On one occasion we were in Central Park for a conference on Homelessness Prevention Week. It was a morning convention and it meant setting up and providing morning tea for attendees (including Lord Major Lisa Scaffidi), laying out name tags, setting up flyers and banners and making sure there were microphones and other IT prepared and ready to go.
Once the conference was over we packed down and headed back to the office to de-brief and finish up tasks just like a normal day. It's disorientating when you go from a fast paced morning to a slow afternoon.
But I think this was one of my favourite things about working in events. It meant days got mixed up and changed around and not every day was the same.

Did anyone else have this experience?
Did you enjoy being on-location?
