上午8:00：起床

上午9:00：准备上班。一边接收邮件，一边看书。

上午10:00：我一般都是这个钟点开始工作。今天比较特殊，我上班前正好要去办公室附近跑腿，为晚上由我主创的活动做最后的准备。我先到旁边我喜欢的一家咖啡厅买咖啡，然后与同事碰头，一起为团队的其他同事带外卖和用品。

上午11:00：我捎上用品回到办公室，然后利用短短几个小时的时间为晚上由我主创的活动做最后润色。我最终敲定了嘉宾名单，确定最终时间表，调整场地布局，然后发送给团队同事。随后我们通过移动应用程序约了一辆车，出发前往位于奥克兰的活动现场。

中午12:00：跟同事一行到达奥克兰，第一件事就是吃点东西：墨西哥薄饼卷，我们来了！吃过午饭后，我们赶往活动场地，见了现场的工作人员和我们团队的其他同事。我召集大家把程序走了一遍，然后我再跟每位工作人员交代时间表，为每个人分派下午的工作任务，为晚上的活动做好充足的准备。

下午1:00：这个时间我们的许多供应商就开始陆续到达场地，我负责迎接，后续的接待工作由团队其他成员负责。我们的时间表需要临时变更，这也就是说我们不得不对活动的多项事宜进行相应调整，因此我大多数时间都是在用电话跟还在办公室的同事联系协调，以派人协助落实时间表的变更。

下午2:00：我们将呈上一场由歌手和音乐人参加的演出，演出人员已陆续抵达现场开始排练，并检查音响。我安顿好他们之后进行了简短的现场预演，同时跟他们交代今晚的时间表。我请音响师和灯光师等技术人员为这次会议做好准备。

下午3:00：我们开始检查音响效果，并进行彩排。我在现场查看监督，保证一切顺利进行，并且对演出环节和台词的变动提出建议。

下午4:00：彩排结束，过程非常顺利，大概4:30就提前完成了。晚上活动的摄影师到场，我最后将团队所有工作人员和演出人员召集在一起拍了张合影。

下午5:00：晚餐时间到！我出去给团队工作人员和演出人员买晚餐，打包带回活动场地。

下午6:00：活动志愿者开始陆续到场，我在现场对活动的情况进行了说明，并且感谢他们的到来。在开门迎宾之前我抓紧时间做了最后一次现场预演，并提出一些需要临时调整的地方。

下午7:00：我们活动开始开门迎宾，来宾们开始陆续进场。我的同事在迎宾，我借此机会到演员休息室喘口气，放松几分钟。

晚上8:00：演出开始，我重新回到楼下监督演出，就在技术监控区观看，这样无论音响或灯光出现什么问题我都能传达给工程师。表演进行的很顺利，带给各位来宾一段愉快的时光！

晚上9:00：演出圆满完成，赢得了雷鸣般的掌声！我下楼走到舞台边，对刚走下舞台的演员们表示感谢，并拥抱他们。

晚上10:00：来宾们陆续离场，我们开始清理现场，把我们的设备和材料运出去。我也做了一些清扫工作，发现我挥扫把的技术真是惨不忍睹！

晚上11:00：我们把所有东西搬出场地再装上车，这速度比我们预想的要快多了，所以我们连夜赶回旧金山，把东西放回办公室。

午夜：我到办公室卸完装备后回家倒头就睡，但睡前还是查看了社交媒体，看看我们今天晚上的活动反响如何—都是积极的反馈，我彻底放下心来，还有随之而来的成就感，可以安心睡了。

10:00am:I typically start my day atwork around this time. On this particular day I happen tobe running a few errandsbefore work around the neighborhood of my office as last-minute prep for anevent I am producing that evening. I start it all off with acoffee from my favorite neighborhood coffee place and then meet upwith my colleague to pick up some snacks and suppliesfor our team.

11:00am:After picking up supplies, Imake it into the office for what will be a few shorthours at my desk putting the finishingtouches on my event for that evening.

12:00pm:I arrive in Oakland with mycolleague and our first stop is for some food: tacos! Weeat our lunch and then head to the venue where we are met by the venue staffand a few other members of our team. I lead a brief walk-through andthen go over the timeline with everyone and divide up duties andresponsibilities for the afternoon as we get prepared for launch.

1:00pm:At this point, many of ourvendors begin arriving and I greet them and then hand them off to members of myteam to handle. We end up having a last-minutechange to the timeline that means we have to troubleshoot a few matters for theevening, so I spend much of this time on the phone with colleagues at ouroffice trying to get someone from our end to help facilitate the change.

2:00pm:We’re putting ona show involving performers, including singers and musicians, and they arebeginning to arrive for their rehearsal and sound-check. I get them settledin and do a quick walk-through of the venue with them while alsotalking through the night’s timeline.

7:00pm:Doors open for our event and thecrowd starts trickling in. I’m using this momentas an opportunity to decompress and head up to our green room to relax for afew minutes while my team gets everyone loaded in.

8:00pm:Our show begins and I head backdownstairs to oversee the performance and watch fromour tech area so that I can relay anyissues with sound or lighting to our engineers. The show goes smoothly andeveryone in the crowd is having a great time!

9:00pm:The show wraps upand we have a massive ovation! I head downstairsto the stage and thank and hug each of the performers as they come off thestage.

10:00pm:Guests are starting to depart,so we start to cleanup and load-out our equipment and materials. I end up doingquite a bit of sweeping myself and realize my skills with a broomare dismal!

11:00pm:We get everything loaded into acar and out of the venue faster than we thought and so we head back to SanFrancisco to drop our materials off at the office.
