Tedious Tasks

I will only have one more task where I will produce or create something probably. Since, I worked a 40-hour work week the conference week, three weeks were shaved off my time. However, I am still going in at least two times a week for about 4-6 hours to help Mary, my boss, out even though my time finished two weeks ago. Mostly, I am calling people about whether they attended the conference or not for paperwork purposes to process the scholarship recipients. Also, I am writing letters for a re-do of their W-9 because they may not have put down the correct information if any at all! Like I said, I will only have one more creative task to do and that is have another meeting with the assitant editors of the journal on another manuscript that I copyedited. It is unbelievable to think that I worked nearly three months on a project that lasted three days and now it is over! It is a complete, satisfying feeling, but I am quite bored (and tired) now. The conference was wonderful in terms of running smoothly and getting information to the participants and attendees; yet, in the words of my boss, "It is like planning a party that we don't get to go to!" which is exactly true. I did not get to attend any of the sessions except mine and another poetry reading. I stayed behind the counter with scholarship registration for three days, but I was able to help tremendously with some of the questions because Mary prepped me for them for nearly a week before working.
